Samsung HMX-U10 Ultra-Compact Full-HD Camcorder with 10 MP Still (Silver) $179.00

Menus are not as intuitive as I would have hoped. The picture quality seems as good as I would have expected. There are a lot of menu options and navigating them is not as intuitive as it could be. Getting to the right menu is still a bit of a mystery to me. There seems to be at least two different menu trees and I don't always get to the tree with the stuff I want to do. Hooking up to a television is requires making several choices on different menus and the documentation options are not as easy to determine as I would like. I think overall the device is very powerful you probably get as many possibilities as you would on many regular camcorders (except for zooming). I had hoped the simplicity part would have been greater. I had hoped that the device would be simple enough that you could give it to a teacher or one of the students in the class and they could shoot and download or display the info without any outside instruction. I don't think they will be able to. I don't want to imply that it is so difficult that the average person couldn't figure out how to operate it. It is just that there is a learning curve.

Not as good as the Flip I bought this and took it back the same day. Its indoor video quality is horrible unless you have a LOT of light. The still pics, although its 10mp, it doesn't matter because if you more, or the target moves at all, your picture is junk. I bought an 8GB SD card (class 2), which apparently isn't good enough because I got an error when trying to record at a high quality. So you have to buy a higher class SD card (which I didn't even know existed), otherwise, your video will skip along. I took it back for the Flip and was extremely happy with the Flip. Sorry Samsung, this is dissappointing. Rating: 2 (C. Bryant, 2010-01-23) Product reviewed: Samsung HMX-U10 Ultra-Compact Full-HD Camcorder with 10 MP Still (Silver)

Decent Little Camera I bought this camera before Christmas and purchased it because of the good price and when I got home, I was disappointed with the reviews on Amazon but decided to give it a try. Seriously, it's a great little camera for the price. Except for a few glitches, the camera has been fantastic. I am a professional dog trainer and compete in dog agility trials. Video taping runs and practice sessions are very important to see what is going on. I stopped bringing my large mini DV camera. I wanted something small that would fit in my training bag and not add bulk. 1) The video quality is very good. I got home realizing I do not have USB2 for transferring and taping anything in HD took too long for my older computer to load to You Tube. I solved that by recording in SD. The quality is better than my mini DV cam. 2) Uploading to the computer or internet is simple. My videos in HD are out of sync but again that's my computer. If I upload them to You Tube, they sync problem goes away. 3) The editing software is horrible. Once our new computer arrives, I will find a better editing software. 4) The zoom is shaky and not fluid. Not really a big deal for my purposes. 5) The buttons that operate the camera are extremely touch sensitive and not. If I try to select a video to the right, I find it going left instead. It's an annoyance and could be better designed but again, not that big of a deal. This camera is inexpensive and I don't expect it to have broadcast quality video. Seriously, it's exactly as advertised. It's a great little camera for the money. Rating: 4 (D.

The Product is Inexpensive! Many consumers who commented on this product seems to be frustrated by certain aspects of the camera. Although they are somewhat valid, I am not sure if they realize how much they have paid for the product. Currently, this camcorder is selling for about ~$110 and this product does the perfect job for the price. The image is clear and it is very easy to use. If you want to buy a camcorder with superior sound quality, etc, then you should upgrade to Samsung camcorders that are in the $500 range. If you want to spend less and just want to capture the moments at decent quality, this camcorder is it!
