Review: CamcorderInfo.Com - Samsung SC-M20 Digital Camera



The CamcorderInfo.Com reviewed Samsung's SC-MX20 digital camera.

Earlier this year, Samsung blew us away with the surprisingly strong performance of their high definition SC-HMX20. Over the years, we had grown accustomed to mediocre video from the Samsung line and the HMX20 gave us not just reason to pause, but to recommend a Samsung camcorder. Unfortunately, the surprising improvements we saw in the HMX20 didn't trickle down to the latest standard definition camcorder: the Samsung SC-MX20 (MSRP $229.00).

The MX20 still sports the same 1/6-inch CCD sensor and 34x optical zoom lens as its predecessor, the Samsung SC-MX10. With poorly colored video in bright light and dark—and plenty of noise in any conditions—the MX20 can't keep up with the competition. What the MX20 does do well is provide a smooth experience for beginners and experienced videographers alike. The menus are streamlined, the manual controls are intuitive, and the swivel grip makes just holding the camcorder fun and easy.
