Samsung HMX-H105 First Impressions Camcorder Review

After last year's impressive showing from Samsung with the SC-HMX20, we're interested to see what the company has in store for its 2009 high definition lineup. We already had some hands-on time with the unique HMX-R10 (Review, Specs, Recent News, $0.00), a high definition video-still hybrid with a distinctive design. Now we set our sights (and our hands) on one camcorder from the upcoming H-series, the Samsung HMX-H105. There's a new sensor and a new lens, but the star of the show is the large internal solid state drive (SSD)—16GB to 64GB, depending on the particular H-series model. If Samsung can just match the performance of last year's model with the promise of high capacity solid state memory, they could earn a lot of new fans when the HMX-H105 launches in March


Lens & Sensor
Samsung's entire H-series lineup features the same 1/4.5-inch CMOS sensor and 10x optical zoom Schneider Kreuznach Verioplan HD lens. The sensor is larger than the ones used on Samsung's standard definition lineup, but not as large as the one in last year's SC-HMX20 and the upcoming HMX-R10. It's also a lower resolution that the other high definition sensors Samsung uses.
