Samsung HMX-U10 Pro Reviews

expertreviews‘s review Edit

A good design with some fun features, but its sensor generates lots of noise in lowlight conditions and 1080p video is bloated.

Looking at the specs, the Samsung U10 FlashCAM sounds like a smashing gadget, pushing the boundaries by offering both video and photos from a model that can easily fit in your pocket. However, we were disappointed with the quality of both video and stills and didn't enjoy the fact that we had to mess around with cables. Shooting alongside the now-cheaper Flip Mino HD it was obvious that the U10 often struggled in more challenging conditions. We liked the idea of being able to capture stills from the same gadget, but with lacklustre photos you'd end up wanting to take a separate compact camera with you anyway.

The HMX-U10 is proof that beauty can only be skin deep. In terms of looks and design, it’s head and shoulders above many of its rivals, but a clunky touch interface makes this a frustrating device to use, and both still and video quality are disappointing. If price is a concern, the U10 can be picked up very cheaply now, as the recently announced, image-stabilised, HMX-U20 is not far from the horizon. It remains to be seen if the quality and user interface issues will have been addressed, as there are many strong competitors around at this price point, and if Samsung wants to make its mark in this sector, it needs to raise its game.

Good looking compact camcorder with a range of HD recording options, but rather clunky to use.

Overall the Samsung HMX-U10 is an attractive looking device which offers more options than many of its rivals. Unfortunately what it brings in superficial novelty it lacks in core strength. The HD footage is let down by focal range and the low light performance is poor. The power options might concern some as you won't be able to swap out batteries if you are filming on a day out.

The Samsung HMX-U10 looks like a Flip while the Samsung SMX-K45 and Samsung SMX-K40 appear to be clones of the Sony HDR-CX12. Read the full article to see how they differ.
