Very compact; above-average feature set including slow-motion movie record
No lens protection, touch-screen manual controls difficult to use, lots of noise in low light video, slippery body, no mic and headphone jacks or accessory shoe
The Samsung HMX-R10's plentiful shooting features and fine-quality HD video for its class--at least in good lighting--make it a very good compact HD camcorder. However, its design definitely isn't for everyone. Read full review See all prices
Smart design: The lens is angled up at 25 degrees to make it more comfortable to use. Slick, swiveling 2.7inch touchscreen is a terrific command center. Lots of manual and creative controls — like image sensitivity and frame rate. Records to SD/SDHC...
Poor lowlight sensitivity. No headphone or external microphone jacks. Stills and video a bit noisy. No lens cap or hand strap.
Abstract: Video Review: There are many HD pocket camcorders out there, but Samsungs R10 model offers a unique ergonomic design. Chris Hardwick and Kevin Pereira get their hands on the Samsung R10 to find out what sets this $500 camcorder apart from the rest. ...
If HD isn’t the next big thing, it already is the big thing. The 1080p videos that you shoot using this remarkably compact camcorder can be easily shared using a device like the WDTV Media Player. Believe me when I say the video is a quantum leap abo...

Touch Screen LCD, Small and Ergonomic Design, Full HD Recording Capabilities, HDMI output, Builtin Software
Proprietary USB cable, Not Great For Shaky Hands
Personally I am not a big fan of video (and not just because of my shaky hands), but I have enjoyed using the Samsung HMX-R10 camcorder to its full extent. If you are in the market for a compact, Full-HD camcorder, I do recommend taking a look at the ...
Compact, easy to use and with a menu that’s well labelled and a cinch to access via the touchscreen, Very impressive overall video performance at this price point; and the ability to shoot HD and SD footage is useful for increasing recording times...
A piddly 5x optical zoom on a camcorder like this is, dare we say it, almost criminal, Yes, the software is free, and is rather versatile, but it would still benefit from an interface tweak to make it more welcoming to new users.
Samsung is an ultra-competitive brand in the camcorder world and the R10 is equipped with a very good mix of features and functionality, plus it comes in at a cost-effective price. A couple of extra spec points and this would be scintillating, instead...
Great quality 1080 videos, 25 degree lens angle is an innovative idea to reduce wrist strain!, Some minor firmware and software improvements over past Samsung flash camcorders stand out, IntelliStudio builtin software, Photo quality is good and photo mode...
No proper lens cover!, No hand strap. This also made using the buttons on the back of the camera extremely hard without crossing my other hand over to operate them.
For a price cheaper than most competitors, the Samsung R10 has shown to be a solid 1080 high definition flash camcorder for under $500USD. Alongside the usual camcorder features found on most camcorders in this range, the R10 jumped out to me with...
The Samsung HMX-R10 boasts decent image quality and some useful manual features to lift it above the level of other pocket internet camcorders. But, most amazingly, it can be purchased for just £230. At this price, all of its shortcomings can be forgiven....
