Samsung just took its flagship 1080p camcorder and made it even better. The HMX-106's major improvement over its predecessors is the camera's optical image stabilization. This fixes the major flaw in last year's Samsung HMX-20C camcorder, whose digital image stabilization we've found to be largely ineffective.
Samsung has also increased the internal solid-state storage capacity to an impressive 64GB of flash memory, which it's calling a camcorder first — probably soon to be matched industry-wide. The camera's predecessor is excellent aside from its shaky stabilization, making this new HMX-106 and its brandmates, each with incrementally lesser degrees of flash storage and price, HD camcorders worth a closer look.
Available in April, no pricing was mentioned yet, but last year's model sells for around $850. Take a peek at this beauty in the gallery below, then click Continue for details in Samsung's press release.
