Samsung HMX-U20 review

The most noticeable feature of the Samsung HMX-U20 is the lens, which makes it look more like a serious piece of photographic equipment than a pocket video camera. However, this feature has real benefits, like optical zoom, that differentiate the U20 from its brethren and their digital zooms. The effect is quick, smooth zooming that can be accessed during full 1080p recording and doesn’t produce noise or distortion. The Samsung also impresses with 7.8MP stills, which beats most phone cameras hands down and even gives some digital compacts a run for their money. With all this, the Samsung U20 is a fantastic travel companion. Footage also looked good, but results were a little noisier than those of the Toshiba and Flip MinoHD. Colours were true and it dealt with changes in light better than any other camera in our test, which harks back to that quality lens. However, it wasn’t all plain sailing. At times the camera struggled to focus, leaving faces blurry and plunging the camera into confusion for a few seconds. This mostly occurred while shooting in busy places, but the Samsung was the only camera to really suffer.

Camcorder Reviews

The U20 was released back in the spring of 2010 and is a direct competitor for the Flip Mino HD, a mini camcorder that proved incredibly popular last year in the US. The U20 has the typical features of an HD pocket camcorder, with a compact mobile-phone-style design and a removable USB connector. The U20 has an unusual and original design. The casing curves out slightly to an angle of about 7° and there's a huge ring around the lens. In many ways it looks more like a mobile phone than a pocket camcorder and you'll probably either love or hate this eye-catching design. The product is finished to a high standard with very pleasant black lacquered plastic (also available in red, blue and silver). There are several flat, touch-sensitive controls on the rear of the camcorder set into its casing. A Play button is on hand for watching back videos on the 2-inch LCD and a Menu button for selecting the picture/video quality. There are four arrow buttons for navigation through the internal menus and an OK button for selecting your options. However, we would have preferred a classic four-way controller button, as it would be easier to use than these touch-sensitive controls.
