I never realized that two stickers and one printed label constituted "everywhere on the camera". =P Looks like they could have shoved one on the screen as well, just in case you forget.
@biomi Hopefully there are not like the 1080P HD sticker on my Samsung DLP, that damn thing is the size of an index card and does not peel off easily. I haven't looked into scraping it off or using a goof off like residue remover because of the glossy black housing. Only thing worse then a huge factory sticker is a dull spot right smack dab on the front of the device where a factory sticker was forcibly removed.
Get those awkward stickers off easily with a hairdryer (not on full setting obviously!) It'll loosen the sticky stuff and the label should peel right off nicely! Even works for car badges!

Does it really need to say "HD" everywhere on the camera? I think they're overdoing it.

Hopefully those are just the normal stickers that most electronics come with and can be removed if you wish.

But without them putting it all over the device, How would I know that I'm holding/operating an HD camera? :-)

Does that front sticker come off?

What's the MSRP/street price on this beauty?

I was digging around to see if it's supported under OS X as a USB storage device. The video is H.264 so I thought it would be set.
Then I see page 128 of the user manual ( http://org.downloadcenter.samsung.com/downloadfile/ContentsFile.aspx?CDSite=us&CttFileID=1923481&CDCttType=UM&ModelType=C&ModelName=SC-HMX20C&VPath=UM/200805/20080514172437796_SC-HMX20C_ENG_IB_0403.pdf ), which states the following:
Symptom: The comptuer does not recognize your HD camcorder
Solution: You can not use the HD camcorder with a Macintosh
What the hell? Guess my 800 dollars will go elsewhere.
