Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Samsung HMX-H100 HD Flash Memory Camcorder with10x Optical Zoom
Customer Review: In a class by itself
Summary: 5 Stars
First, I want to put a few things clear before making this review.
In consumer digital camera world we have to understand the two different technologies used in picking the video image. They are CCD and CMOS. They stand for Charge Coupled Device and Complimentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor respectively. How they work is not relevant but the pros and cons of each one is.
CCDs are being used in digital cameras for a long time. They are very sensitive to light but they are difficult to manufacture and therefore expensive. In the other hand we have CMOS, they are cheap to manufacture but they are less sensitive to light and have higher noise figures than CCDs.
Now that we have a clear understanding of CCDs vs CMOS, I can talk about the Samsung HMX-H100.
I like to call it "in a class by itself" because in the $449 price range there is no other camera with such features, quality in construction and performance. It have a very good 10x optical zoom with optical image stabilization , nice color rendering, Good picture definition, and acceptable battery life. Of course you could have slight improvement in low light performance in a CMOS Canon or Sony but you have to spend another $300 to $400 to get it. Or if you want the top in low light picture quality, be ready to say good bye to over $2000 out of your wallet for a 3CCDs Canon, Sony or JVC Pro Grade camcorder
Battery life is good for some 55 to 65 minutes of full HD 1080i recording. So an extra battery is a must.
With memory prices going down by the week, it is not a problem to get a good deal on a couple of 16gb SDHC Class 4 cards. One 16gb SDHC is good for over two hours of recording in full 1080i super fine HD.
Another interesting thing about it, is that it carries a copy Samsung Intelli-Studio editing software inside it. Just connect the camcorder via USB to any Windows PC and it ask for software installation. No more software CDs getting lost in your desk, camera bag or laptop case. Its already inside the camcorder!
In conclusion. There are lot of good to excellent consumer camcorders out there. But in the $449 price range IMHO there is only one... the Samsung HMX-H100
