 I Liked it August 12, 2008
Sujit Kumar Mahapatra (Cuttack)
Got it yesterday, brought for my fried. I like this camcorder for the value of money. It is very light and easy to use. It looks good too, the battery is not very heavy. Only thing is you have to spend atleast $50 to get a SD card of 16 Gig atleast (Maybe you can look for some deal and buy it cheaper). It comes with Power Director software for video editing.
Overall i liked it.
Decent Camera, Perfect for my needs July 29, 2008
J. Keezer (Laguna Hills, CA)
The camera has different image resolution settings, on the default (480i) setting, the image quality is terrible, but if you switch to 480p, the image becomes average quality, and the digital blocky artifacts disappear. I am not sure why Samsung (a great company) would mess up the 480i option, then use it as default in a shipping product, but if you switch to 480p all is well.
The zoom is great, the camera seems a bit low on settings, but its compact, lightweight, and records to mpeg4. You will need to download the Samsung codec from Samsung's website, but then its easy to transfer files from the SD card, play them in Windows Media Player, manipulate them in your favorite software, etc.
My primary intention for this camera was to install it on a roll bar in a sportscar, for this purpose, it uses flash memory, few moving parts, the zoom is actually not important, but sound quality is good, and in 'action' setting, with 480p resolution selected, image quality is good. I wish it came with a remote control, but its a simple process to press the record button.
The camera comes with a 512MB card, good for approx 15 minutes of 'high quality' video, and supports up to an 8GB SD card. I purchased a 4GB SD card, which is good for 120 minutes of video, as that is how long the battery lasts, 2 hours.
 Proprietary Samsung mpeg4 codec July 9, 2008
David D. Grossman (Northern California)
The camera itself is fine, but it records in a Samsung proprietary mpeg4 format. This means that you can edit your output only with the Samsung/Cyberlink software, which is vastly inferior to the video editing software available from other companies. This incompatibility means that you become a prisoner to Samsung. I have communicated with Samsung's customer service on this topic, and they do not offer any solution to solve the incompatibility. Conversely, the purveyors of better editing software (e.g. Sony Vegas) apologize for the fact that Samsung deliberately makes it impossible for their programs to accept Samsung input.
A Waste Of Money! Lousy Warranty! June 26, 2008

I bought this looking for a decent camcorder that I could carry on my motorcycle. I owned it 100 days when it ceased charging the battery. I called Samsung to see if it would be fixed under the warranty. Yeah, right! 90 day warranty! No exceptios! Last Samsung product I'll ever buy!
Samsung did it right with the SC-MX10 June 11, 2008

Here's what I wanted my video camcorder to be able to do:
1. Record high quality without the need for a CD or cassette (its 2008 for goodness sake, moving parts, are you crazy?)
2. Had a good amount internal memory as well as a memory card capacity of up to 4gb
3. Could be easily played on my HDTV and not look like jumpy and grainy
4. Would download clips easily onto my PC so I could edit and send via email to family and friends
5. Had easy interface and simple-to-use navigation
6. Had good audio quality and anti-shake qualities for smooth shooting
7. Had at least 5x zoom ability.
8. Was under $250
This camera not only met all of my expectations, but exceeded them. It fits and feels nice, shoots very well and when you hook it up to your computer, TV or just want to watch the playback on its 2.7 inch screen, its simple and there's no fuss.
If you like quality, but have a budget and you want a video camera that is both easy to use and looks and sounds good (sound is very important to me), then I highly recommend this one.
The software that comes with wasn't impressive, but when I editted images on Windows Movie Maker, everything worked great.
They say you can tell right away if something is good quality. The second I started reading the manual (and please do), I knew these guys knew how to make a good camera. Thanks Samsung!
