Samsung SC-HMX20C HD camcorder review {Engadget HD}

Jul 11th 2008 6:11PM I just bought this camera two days ago. After playing with it for hours, i can tell you that to me its nothing but a glorified WEBCAM class camera. IT SUCKS!!!!!!!. The 6.4 million CMOS sensor has lot of noise in low light (reasonable indoor conditions). More than usual in my opinion. There is a kind of smearing effect which you get. I dont know if its the mepg AVC codec or the sensor. Also i get a blur when a shot has pan in it. The images are just not crisp instead are somewhat dull. The LCD display shows false results when it comes to scene exposure or shutter speed (the sene looks really bright on it but when you play it back on your TV or PC its actually darker. Samsung lacks the sophistication of making a consumer high def camcorder. They can learn a thing or two from canon, jvc and sony, as they have been in this business longer than samsung. I even had a long chat with the tech support level2 guys and they cant fig it out. This camera needs a serious firm update or something. A 5 out of 10 rating.
