[DamienCollettiCinema]

@kickflip2180 Yeah there is an option for this in settings.

[Dany22reeves]

[MasterToan]

Good review but an incredibly irritating voice. (down talker - each sentence ends with a down emphasis) Difficult to understand much of what she says.

[alfarion1]

dear santa

[MondPS]

Can you attach this to a tripod???and how much??

[DamienCollettiCinema]

@MondPS Yup you can attach a tripod to it!

[harryfinch777]

[DamienCollettiCinema]

@harryfinch777 You can attach a tripod to it! The Mic is pretty good for a camcorder except during windy conditions.

[JBMadisonGirl]

Hi! This video help me decide if I want to get this camera! And yes I want it now! But I have a question, does it do auto focus? That is the only thing that is stoping me from getting this. Please respond! Thank you! :)

[DruskininkaiRunners]

@samsungimaging Hello :) i want to ask few things if I decide buying it :) does this camera captures video at 720p(60fps)? :D does 60p and 60i means fps? :DD

[fishNchato]

WE WANT ONE :(

[StephenaGoodwin9]

i hear someone chewing something through out this video.

[xtrme99]

Was the video recorded by this camera? Just curious o.o I'm still deciding whether to buy this or not

[samsungimaging]

@xtrme99 It recorded with Samsung HMX-S16 camcorder. ;)

[cegh451]

Hi!, I will buy this camera in a few days, but I've got a question about the memory, I'm thinking to buy a Kingston HDSC 16gb class 6, but I would like to know If the camera supports any brand or if it works better with an specific one, and also if it supports class 10. thank you!

[samsungimaging]

@cegh451 Any memory cards are available. It will support 32gb. With Class 10 have the fastest read-write performance, it will be better, i guess. Hope you find answer. Thanks.

[Paralyzer1000]

Thanks, I was on the shakes about getting this camera but now im more comfident

[JoshSofieldShow1]

Please Respond, does it have a remote

[samsungimaging]

@JoshSofieldShow1 Sorry but it is not support the remote control. HMX-S15/S10 are available the remote. Check out!

[Gostth]

when u say FULL HD IS A TYPICAL BLURAY (1 920 x 1 080) RESOLUTION?

[TheAndrewFernandez]

I'm thinking of using this in a windy environment, like while being driven in a convertible but am concerned about the wind noise. Is there a way to adjust or reduce the recording sensitivity of the microphone?

[samsungimaging]

@TheAndrewFernandez It has built-in microphone but there aren't options for wind noise. If you're searching for the wind filter, check this camcorder, HMX-S15 ! It supports the wind filter. Good luck! :)

[TheAndrewFernandez]

@samsungimaging

Thanks for your reply

[DStreetz617]

does this have Usb 2.0 support for transporting files to a computer or does it only save files onto an SD card?

[samsungimaging]

@DStreetz617 Yes, it supports the usb port and also you could move the video file out onto your PC for editing. Thanks.

[puppy788]

Please Respond. Which one is better the Samsung Q10 or the Samsung F50? It's really confusing because the 2 camcorders are really good!

[samsungimaging]

@puppy788 Hi,puppy788! Q10 supports HD while the F50 supports the standard definition(SD). Q10 featured with Switch Grip that you can switch hands for free movement. Hope you get any answer. Thanks.

[samsungimaging]

@capricorntak113 Yes, it supports the built-in microphone. Thanks.

[DoBeautyYou]

How is the colors on the things you are filming? Are they similar to the real color of what you are filming, or....?

[TynanOfficial]

Hello, does this camcorder have an external microphone slot on it to plug in my own microphone?

[samsungimaging]

@TynanOfficial Hi,TynanOfficial! It has a built-in mic. It is not support the external mic. Thanks.

[TynanOfficial]

@samsungimaging that's crap

[easternbmx0809]

can you put a fisheye on it

[samsungimaging]

@easternbmx0809 Sorry but it has no a filter diameter. If you're lookin for the camcorder which work with the fisheye lens, check out our main channel. There're some tips for you. Thanks.

[kruska811]

can you pause the video while filming with this camera?

[samsungimaging]

@kruska811 Hi, kruska811! The Q10 supports the pause function so you can briefly pause and then restart filming again. Thanks.

[MrRobbieG88]

I've done time lapse with the camera at night, see my video. Not that bad if I take into consideration night, rain and driving on the expressway.

[WantToSeeClips]

Is it possible to turn of the "switch grip" feature if I for some reason want to record something upside down?

[samsungimaging]

@WantToSeeClips Hi, WantToSeeClips! It has the 'switch grip on/off" set in Q10. Here's a route for setting.

Home>General>Switch Grip on/off . Hope this answer is helpful.

[frankie23456789]

[smoofssmoofs]

What camcorder was used to record this clip?

[TheVouc]

is it possible if you set this camera on the tv that is can record stuff from the tv?

[BooSackNoodle93]

Hey i bought this Q10, and i had some problems when i loaded it up on my Mac. It worked withs no complains on 720, but on 1080 it got a little laggy. Can you help on this one?

[ArchieFan42192]

Would this camcorder take good video at a concert? I had a toshiba camileo h30 and it took terrible video and terrible audio.

[DamienCollettiCinema]

@ArchieFan42192 Lol I had bought the Toshiba Camileo first too and agree I was hoping it would have been better! I then bought the Samsung Q10 and it is definitely better!

[BooSackNoodle93]

Does this beauty work on Mac Imovie?

[Alexvideoclip]

If I buy the camcorder, may I have a kiss ?

;o)

[PLkurwa]

I bought that cam, check out my profile for awesome footage I shot with it! Would have never thought this little cam could shoot so nice videos!

[samsungimaging]

@PLkurwa Thank you for sharing the video! I'm looking forward to the next clip already. Hope you enjoy with HMX-Q10. Thanks. :)

[hatecrewsix2]

[CranberryMuffinmanz]

[petoskeylax22]

Is this camera Mac Compatible?

[tomekbumat]

HI. I'm thinking about buying this cam, however I need to know: 1 does the camera remember previous settings eg. resulution set before shutting it down? 2 what angle must the display flap be opened at to turn the cam on?

[doodledrum]

Is it possible to turn the Display (for filming myself)? And can I put it on a normal Mic Stand?

[samsungimaging]

@doodledrum Hi, doodledrum! Yeah, this is possible to rotate the panel and to recording by yourself while watching the screen. This camcorder has a built-in mic. It is not support the external mic. Sorry for this. Thanks. :)

[doodledrum]

@samsungimaging Thank you. But with the mic stand... I would like to use a Mic Stand as a a tripod :)

I don't need an external mic... Thanks for response.

[jaowseph]

[MrOldschoolsk8]

[TehCreek]

[EpicReaction]

Would you recomend this or the H300?

[kittus5850]

[amd7285]

@samsungimaging

How Much Video Bit rate this camera holds, a typical Blu ray of 1080p holds

about 33Mb average bit rate ,so how much this cameras 1080p holds

[donovannhim]

can this camcorder hold a fisheye?

[dieztroykabron]

[samsungimaging]

@dieztroykabron Hi, dieztroykabron! It records in H.264 recording format. Thanks. 

[BugMoneyFishing]

@dieztroykabron It's MP4

[TheKittykat619]

does the external mic work??

[samsungimaging]

@TheKittykat619 Hi, TheKittykat619! Only the internal mic is used on this cam. Thanks. :)

[volmansdotcom]

How is the battery time? Do you need to add a memory card? Can you use a tripod with it?

Thanks

[samsungimaging]

@volmansdotcom Hi, volmansdotcom! It runs about 100mins and use a SD card. Of course, it can be work with the tripod! Any others? :)

[parkourip]

@samsungimaging Is HMX-Q10 the same camera with Q10?

[samsungimaging]

@parkourip HMX-Q10 is a full product name of the Q10. Thanks. :)

[parkourip]

@samsungimaging ok :)

[mynameisslava]

Can you plug in a microphone in this camera?

[samsungimaging]

@mynameisslava Hi, mynameisslava! This cam supports the built-in microphone. Not available the external mic. Thanks.

[Mrawesomepants13]

[samsungimaging]

@Mrawesomepants13 Hi, Mrawesomepants13! It offers OIS Duo. You could get clear images and videos. Thanks.

[Pikachai]

We can't film upside down ?

[velthon]

@Pikachai You can't, but you can edit it to make as you want

[MCcam2]

How can i fix the lag in mine

[WorldCupKid]

what camera are you using to film? also is this camera good for fast action filming such as longboarding? great video btw :)

[samsungimaging]

@WorldCupKid With Samsung S16. Thanks.

[viperking001]

Is the shutter speed adjustable on this camera?

[samsungimaging]

@viperking001 Hi, viperking001! Was it late reply? Yes, you could adjust the shutter speed. It offers from 1/60 to 1/10,000. Thanks.

[seraos77]

Bought this camcorder yesterday. Everything good till watching the recordings on PC. Jerky image on outside recording. Very grainy image on indoors recording. Big disapointing. :( OIS doesn't help too much.. there's big jumps om picture while moving camera for following an object. :(

[DamienCollettiCinema]

@seraos77 For indoors you really need good lighting. For outdoors I think a tripod might help you to keep filming steady. Also the less wind outside the better. 

[Nhicap19]

so what setting for the camera would you recommend if you were to record a long event.. say 2 hours?

[keenanyou]

what size fisheye lens would i need for this?

[samsungimaging]

@keenanyou Hi, keenanyou! Unfortunately, it has no a thread of filter. Sorry about this. If you're lookin for the camcorder which work with fisheye lens, check out our main channel. There're some tips for you. Good luck!

[seahawkboy44]

@imadeitofCA Where the hell did you find that deal!

[MrMrNoName94]

Does this product worth the money or is this just one of those "Sell shit as candy"-reviews?

[szybkilopez566]

@MrMrNoName94 It's genuinely good. Finally, an entry level camcorder that you can actually use (even under low light conditions)

The lens good, the enlarged sensor works, you've got 60fps even in Full HD mode, manual mode, the autofocus is fast. And it is Best Entry Level Camcorder of 2011 by TIPA.

[samsungimaging]

@imadeitofCA Why not? :) But, please check detail things of it before you get it! Like an attachment or other accessories. Good luck!

[samsungimaging]

@imadeitofCA Hi, imadeitofCA! This cam allowed SD/SDHC memeory card. It has USB cable and it can be record while charging. Any others?

[marmol13]

Can @samsungimaging answer if this camera is mac compatible? I've been searching online about two Samsung cameras and the mac-compatible info is nowhere to be found. So, I'm guessing no...? @samsungimaging??

[samsungimaging]

@marmol13 Hi, marmol13! This is answer! All of Samsung camera and camcorders support H.264 format, so it is compatible with Mac. Only built-in software, intelli-studio, is not working on Mac. Do not worry about that. Thanks. :)

[itsmelaurab]

@samsungimaging does this camcorder work for macs? and is the sound quality good?

[samsungimaging]

@itsmelaurab Hi, itsmelaurab! Yeah, this is work with mac and other video edit tools. All of Samsung camera and camcorders support H.264 format, so it is compatible with Mac. Only built-in software, intelli-studio, is not working on Mac. Thanks.

[hussein2050]

This won 'Best Entry Level Camcorder' at Technical Image Press Association award 2011

[exalism]

I very like the review !

[LiquidOrgasm]

i want both XD

[sammybambam34]

I WANT THIS CAMCORDER.

[TheBFBC2videos]

You can put the video's u record on PC and then edit it in different programms..sony vegas , after effects ?

[EzeeSKANKIN]

What about up loading videos to youtube? How is the process, USB, fire wire, etc..

[samsungimaging]

@EzeeSKANKIN Hi, EzeeSKANKIN! Once it connected to your PC, automatically it launch a built-in software 'intelli-studio' in a few seconds. And it begins the video transfer from your video camcorder to your PC. You could edit the media on the intelli-studio and upload to Youtube directly.

[csuporj]

What about the single most important thing: image quality (colors, noise, etc.) ?

[samsungimaging]

@csuporj Hi, cspori! It gives you clear results with Super fine mode and it offers an Art filter. So you could record in other mode with a variety of creative tools. Thanks.

[oneBMFer]

@dcsarti

So you do have to convert the files?? Was looking for something that I didn't have to convert the files?

[reachfreddie]

You're eyes are just gorgeous! I

[squiresuzuki]

you look like Effy Stonem

[oneBMFer]

@sam4sb

Ummm not sure that's why I asked?? Thanks.

[samsungimaging]

@oneBMFer @sam4sb We'll update a test video soon.

[sam4sb]

You're gorgeous... You should do all the reviews :)

However, would it be possible to test the zoom and focus and make a Video with that?

[oneBMFer]

Is this compatible with a Mac? iMovie 2011?

[sam4sb]

@oneBMFer : It records on a SD-Card in H.264, so why shouldn't it? :)

[dcsariti]

@oneBMFer yes it's plug and go. You have to convert the mp4 files through MPEG Streamclip application(free online) to edit with for any editing program though if you want to do post production. Just got it it and love it!

[2devon202]

Is it good for serious shooting? And how big is the memory on the camera? Like how many gigabytes?

[samsungimaging]

@2devon202 Hi, 2devon202! This camcorder has no internal memory. It supports SD/SDHC memory card. There is no limit on memory but battery life. It runs up to 100min. Was it help? Thanks for having an interesting at it.

[2devon202]

@samsungimaging yes it was thank you :D

[mansion2648]

I think this camcorder is only one camcorder provide switch grip. It must be very useful for lefthanders.

[NickRohdeTV]

Is this video recored by Samsung Q10?

[samsungimaging]

@NickRohdeTV Not exactly. It has taken with HMX-S16.  :)

[NickRohdeTV]

@samsungimaging Oh thanks for the answer :)!

I got an other question, is the Q10 better than H200?

[samsungimaging]

@NickRohdeTV Hi, NickRohdeTV! Q10 is operated by smart touch LCD screen and switch grip function will give you the flexibility to hold the camcorder in either hand. BTW, H200 is excellent in zooming and battery life. But, both camcorders don't support an external mic. Which camcorders you were looking for? Thanks. :)

[NickRohdeTV]

@samsungimaging I'm just looking for a handy camera, I can take with me, when I'm inside, outside or when I'm travel. I want to make some videos, there don't fill 1gb, after 10min (I got a Canon 550d, and I film a lot with it, and I need an other camera there don't take so much space). I just want to shoot videos for fun and post them on Youtube, that is all :). But I'm still confuse want cam it should be. Because the H200 and the Q10 cost nearly the same :(. Does the Q10 have a better sensor?
