More than just another flash memory camcorder, the Samsung VP-HMX20C oozes style and beauty. If you are a buyer who is very straightforward about what you want in gadgets, this new camcorder is surely going to impress you. It is a combination of sleek design with top of the line zoom and quality. All of your pictures taken with this camera will significantly improve your portfolio and offer a level of quality rarely seen before.



When we talk of high-definition video, Samsung has always remained as a behind the scenes camcorder manufacturer in the market. By launching the VP-HMX10 (XSA) model a few months ago, the company made a late entry in the competitive market. The camcorder manufacturer had also made a failed attempt to cater to the needs of the budget sector in the early stages. But now the bargain base price is the same but everything else has changed about the device.

The VP-HMX20C is definitely a fully loaded device with HD recording capacity, 250 per second slow motion mode, touch screen interface and a huge 1/1.8 inches CMOS sensor. By including all the "most prominent" features in a single model, Samsung has already established the camcorder as one of the best high-definition cameras in this price segment.

The most interesting aspect of the VP-HMX20C camcorder is its gargantuan 1/1.8in CMOS sensor. The image quality is immensely sharp, vibrant in many conditions and that too irrespective of a lesser pixel count. The camcorder beats some of the best models in the segment. Its 1920x1080p-recording mode is undoubtedly impressive, further the highest digital resolution will make your movies brighter, livelier and more detailed. The playback menu of the camcorder divides HD and SD video files into separate pages.

With dimensions of 66x67x139mm the HMX20S is one of the smallest camcorders that fits nicely into your hands. The lightweight of 500gms will enable you to keep the footage nice and steady. Further the swiveling handgrip of the camcorder makes it easier to shoot even at unconventional angles.

If you are not too much into shooting with a camcorder, the model has easy buttons that will take care of almost all the camera settings for you. There is a full auto mode that locks the menu screen and denies access to manual settings. This proves to be beneficial for mainstream consumers and casual shooters. Adjustable white balance, manual exposure, Tele Macro mode, shutter speed, Face Detect technology and Touch Focus are some highlights of the VP-HMX20C.

Buyers also like the slightly creepy feature of the camcorder, where you can secretly film people after switching off the recording lamp. The VP-HMX20C comes with composite, USB 2.0 and component video jacks.

If you are in search of a camcorder that positively has all the required features, is easy to use and gives great shooting results the Samsung VP-HMX20C beats the competition by a fair distance. You can never go wrong with this gadget, as it is fully loaded with all the necessary features that we look out for in the market.
