The Gadgeteer.com reviewed Samsung SC-HMX10C HD digital camcorder as follows:
In the two years since I reviewed the Sanyo VPC-HD1 camcorder, I've been using it as my main method of capturing video. I love it for its size and ease of use, but have always been disappointed at its low light performance. Since I don't include a video spot in all the reviews I do, I just kept putting up with the Sanyo instead of replacing it. That changed recently when the folks at Samsung invited me to review their SC-HMX10C Progressive HD camcorder. I've been using this camera for several weeks now, so let's take a closer look....

If you pay much attention at all about video formats and terms, the word progressive, is probably familiar to you. It is a scanning method. A video frame is made up of many lines of video that are scanned onto a television screen so closely that they appear to be a solid picture. The scanning method can be either interlaced or progressive. Interlaced scanning (also used in today's analog TVs), indicated by an "i" in the video format, fills in the odd number lines (1,3,5,7...) and then fills in the even number lines (2,4,6,8...) until the frame is complete. Progressive scanning, "p" fills in each line consecutively until the frame is complete, like a computer display. So, basically speaking, progressive is good. :o)

Hardware Tour
The SC-HMX10C has a small compact design that I really like. As you can see here, it's about the same size as a can of Diet Coke. It won't take up a lot of space in your gear bag.
