Samsung HMX-U20 and HMX-U15 camcorders

[ReedandSmith]

i have the hmx u20, and its blue :)

[ct1660]

it's not too bad. i was lucky to get this on Best Buy for only $71!

[tyle6]

Worst hand held camera ever,,, get a damn flip. They may call this HD but in no way is video quality anywhere what you would expect from something claiming to be 1080. Don't waste your money on this camera, It can't shoot anywhere but outside in full sunlight and even then the image is grainy at best. Point the lens towards a less then perfectly light corner and you end up with nothing but audio.

[CharGuitarGirl]

@tyle6 Owned a Flip, wasnt impressed at all.

[key87010]

I'm trying to decide between this, or the Sony bloggie touch or bloggie MHS-CM5, or the sanyo xacti VPC-S1, anyone any opinions, finding it difficult to decide!

[thehegt]

$249.99 i'll give you 1cent so make it $250 fucking seller messing with people minds , $250 should i get the Nikon S8100 12mp x10 with 1080p HD 4x Digital Zoom ????

[tyle6]

@thehegt whatever you do dont get this POS

[beaty713]

compare to sony camcorder, u20 also has great features like sony products.

[choo2323]

@beaty713 yes. i'm considering to buy samsung camcorder. i think, samsung and sony products are good. 

[tyle6]

@choo2323 not this samsung product

[winny5501]

@beaty713 Both camcorders are good.

[tyle6]

@winny5501 oh yea you actually used one?

[MrKaramal]

the u10 or the u10

[xxx9888888888]

damn why i ordered the flip .....

[tyle6]

@xxx9888888888 dude trust me you made the right move

got this too replace a lost flip.

lets just say it is going back today... nowhere near the same quality, this camera is not even in the same class as the flip.

[808FlyBy]

does it have a tripod socket? so many camera reviews just do not mention this.

and no .. its a spin drier .. hi hi

[gvideos18]

So Does this Have the manual focus option ??

[SeeBillyRun]

@gvideos18 No I don't think it does.

[l3gitjailbr3aks]

@gvideos18 dawg this is like the 3rd video ive seen you ask this question xD lol

[winny5501]

it must be easy to transfer imeges and video to laptop or blog.Nice!

[underdogxp]

can u get these in canada??

[SeeBillyRun]

@underdogxp Yup, check out SIG Electronics. I can't post the url because this msg will get classified as spam. They're having a labour day weekend sale. It looks pretty good, but I'm not sure if it has a tripod socket..., which would be great.

[Falcata]

when is this thing gonna come out for canada!!!! i cannot wait any longer.. give us a damn release date already!

[SeeBillyRun]

@Falcata It's here, my friend just sent me an email about a labour day sale. SIG Electronics is selling it. I can't post the url (spam), but yeah... you'll find it online... or if you live in Ontario: Brampton, Richmond Hill, or near Pacific Mall you can buy in person.

[joao2011]

sure it is best than zi8.

[MysticKnight77]

I just received this, I purchased online from best buy. It is supposed to be released July 1st. I'll post a review when it is charged and I get to the beach tomorrow or Friday.

[MKF30]

@MysticKnight77 cool, hey dude I'm in the process of deciding between this, ki8, creative v, playsport, flip hd etc. I'm curious if you know what it says concerning the duilt in memory. Example, 2 hours hd record time etc Thanks

[winny5501]

@MysticKnight77 wow. i wanna buy too.. i think the performance is good

[dimmiyaaa]

1.920 x 1.080 Pixel 25p, 1.280 x 720 Pixel 50p, 1.280 x 720 Pixel 25p, 720 x 480 Pixel 50p, Slow Motion: 320 x 240 Pixel 240p.

[nadiazara]

finally the color of my live! Thanks Samsung!!

[templeville]

sorry could you tell me if this is better than the kodak zi8 please

[Simoneister]

@templeville

Well, the u10 wasn't, but this u20 has stereo and optical zoom, so...I dunno

If it has 720p 60fps like the Zi8 then it might be better...

[kurthewett]

@Simoneister but the u10 said that its 10mp and this is 7.8mp?

[Simoneister]

@kurthewett

And? That only really matters when taking pictures. And the difference between basically 8mp and 10mp is negligible.

[warriorprince1010]

@kurthewett I am finding that they advertise the still pick way higher than it actually is. It is 7.8 MP but apparently you can upgrade it somehow. With software I am told.

[crazyasianskills]

@Simoneister Yeah its got 720 60p. Also has a slow mo mode and face tracker.

[Simoneister]

@crazyasianskills

If this is true, HMX-U20 = pwns.

That is, if the sound quality is good. U10 doesn't have good sound quality.

[templeville]

thanx mate

[nadiazara]

@templeville there is sure a big improvement with the U20. I personally thinks it's better than the zi8

[TradPK]

@templeville Yes it is... even the U10 was slightly better than the Kodak (: I know this true as I've bought them both and the Samsung has overall better qualities like sound quality is much better, movement blur is reduced and the price is much better... U10 - £79.99 vs Zi8 - £119.99 (these are prices from Amazon and Comet)

[OfficialJDRecords]

@templeville i personally think the kodak zi8 is the best compact hd recorder on the market to date

[girlschannel1]

@templeville yes it it

[voygerr19]

@templeville nope, zi8 is better, but you should get the kodak zx5!!!!, it released recently, going for 179, and wayyy better than this samsung, check it out!!!!

[iBall12]

does this camera have a built in battery or.. can you exchange the battery when its dead??

[Dirtbag23iv]

@iBall12 you can switch the battery out

[ReadyForThe80s]

Am I the only one, or does this thing remind you of a washing machine?

[Falcata]

@ReadyForThe80s i agree lol. does this camcorder have an external mic input?

[Dirtbag23iv]

@Falcata no external light hook up :(

[ghskatersam]

@ReadyForThe80s LMAO! That's sooooooooooooo true.

[warriorprince1010]

@ReadyForThe80s It never leaks and if you lean against it it does not vibrate.

[QwanzaBlitz]

@warriorprince1010 - Hehee! I hope you're right! Do you think videos will look 'washed-out' though?

[warriorprince1010]

@QwanzaBlitz The whites will be bright, but never film pink with whites.

[JackTraven2525]

It has to be said it looks friggin ugly. Like a ray gun from a 50s B movie. I wouldn't be seen with that in my hand.

[DrSequoia]

Not quite pocketable with that illuminator on the front.

[schemmler]

this or kodak playsport ?

[MtnXfreeride]

have you seen the kodak Zi8?

[redlewy007]

I have the same question! anybody like to comment?

[michillin212]

Does anyone know if it has the screwhole thingy for a tripod?

[AlucardXD]

I think so

search youtube for: La nuova social cam U20

and pause right at the end

[michillin212]

thanks!

[kevin8se7en]

@michillin212 and @redlewy007

Yes it has a tripod screw thingy lol

Its located on the left side near the bottom just like on the Samsung U10. It comes with an adapter so it can be put up rught (like the U10)

[michillin212]

@kevin8se7en Sweet Thanks!

[samsungimaging]

Thanks!

[JSFlowBts]
