It's so Samsung. H series is the camcorder having the fundamental of camcorders the most among Samsung camcorders. from Amazon.com I generally like Samsung products. I own a Samsung SC-HMX20C 8GB High Definition Camcorder with 10x Optical Zoom that I used last winter for taking video at holiday get togethers. from Amazon.com I have owned this Samsung HMX-H106 Camera for about 2 months and have enloyed using it. I like the ease of use and quality of the resulting picture... from Amazon.com I spoke with Samsung and confirmed that this camera does not do 1080 at 30p or any other progressive scan mode. After going through several levels of support and pointing them to their own website, I was told by a Product Specialist that the description of this camera is incorrect on their website (and on Amazon) and is actually the description of another product. from Amazon.com As they say about success in many businesses - it is all about "location, location, location. Well, in my experience success with camcorders for us normal people is all about ease of use, ease of use, ease of use, and this camcorder has it, big time! As a long-time gadget geek, I have repeatedly been the victim of my own desire to research every last specification and compare every feature when buying camcorders. from Amazon.com The video quality is really good, the focus is good, the lens is good. The editing software is built into the camera, and works well, if limited, and you'll need a decent PC to process the HD in real time. If you want to do multi-audio or video crossfades etc you'll need to convert the format to raw avi or similar and use Premiere or Vegas or similar. from Amazon.com After dealing with 8MM tapes for 10 years (Sony Digital Handycam), I started investigating non-tape camcorders. Lots of inexpensive models to use from but I discoved the HMX-H106 at CES 2009. from Amazon.com I bought the hmx-h106 camera because every source out there touts it as a 1080p camera. It's not. from Amazon.com I now consider myself a collector of camcorders. Still, I demand excellent quality with point and shoot simplicity. My camcorder of choice up until now has been the Samsung SC HMX-20C for its brilliant video quality and amazing still photos, and the ability to take great photos while filming. I saw the HMX-H104 and thought it looks very similar. from Amazon.com Summary: The Samsung HMX-H104 is everything I expect in a SSD camcorder. Image quality is good considering the super-zoom lens. from Amazon.com

Description

The HMX-H106, amsung’s full-HD digital camcorder, is the world’s first to feature an internal 64GB Solid State Drive (SSD). Producing a high-quality image starts at the lens, which is highly regarded as one of the most important components of a camcorder. Precision optics are paramount in helping produce inspiring video and Samsung’s H-Series camcorders underscore this assessment by incorporating world renowned Schneider optics. The camcorders’ Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan HD lens features a 10x optical zoom and is paired with Samsung’s Optical Image Stabilizer to help reduce the blur found in footage as a result of vibrations and hand shake.
