The Samsung HMX-R10 givers you full HD power at (1920 x 1080), and that means, you get display at premium level as well as an increase in detail depth. It has a CMOS sensor that can capture stills—12 Mepapixels high resolution. Another most notable feature include the high-speed recording for 300/600fps — slow motion playback. It’s equipped with face detection autofocus, the subject’s face easily captured into the frame so you’d have quicker time taking shots. The Magic Touch Focus on the flip-out 2.7″ touch panel LCD including the 25-degree “active angle lens design” make it a very smart camcorder that has been available in the market.
Samsung HMX-R10 also highlights 5x optical zoom and a 100x digital zoom, plus F3.5 ~ 3.7, SD/SDHC slot, and auto shutter speed. It can work the focus on automatic or manual, depending on the desired setting. It’s good for low-light shooting because it comes with 15 lux low light sensitivity mechanism with six manual white balance settings.
If shooting outdoors, sometimes the sound of the wind can become the distraction from a very nice video. However, this unit carries wind filter for the microphone. It has mini-HDMI output in H.264 / MP recording format. Look at how the battery—it can go on for 80-minutes, weighs at 229 grams, and dimensions of 38.3 x 56.8 x 128.2mm.
The HMX-R10 camcorder itself carries a leather-like wrist strap so in case things get loose, you don’t drop the thing by mistake. You’ll also find a USB cable, a mesh-style carrying pouch, battery, component video cables, cable clips, power brick, software CD, power cable, and manual. At first glance this doesn’t look comprehensive. It comes of out the box in those pieces yet the manual is easy to follow so you’ll get the camcorder functioning in no time.
A closer look at the battery compartment gives us a pop-hatch lid where you place the battery and the memory. You have to buy your own and SDHC memory cards with this camcorder. Samsung built a component video cable for use in direct video output on the R10. This is designed for great HDTV viewing experience. As a consumer camera and video recorder, it’s well worth the price it’s being sold at. Any beginner would love to use the HMX-R10. Check out this product and personally see the excellence loaded into this package!
