Canadian Corporate Information

After only a decade of growth since first entering the Canadian market in 1987, Samsung Canada, headquartered in Mississauga, Ontario, has emerged as the market leader. We are growing in Canada by about 20% per year and continue to build a strong presence in every market we enter. Operating as part of Samsung's Americas group, our Canadian operations gain considerable competitive advantage from Samsung's local Americas R&D, manufacturing, and technical support. Samsung Electronics in Canada focuses on consumer electronics and information systems products. Consumer electronics began in Canada in 1987, followed by IS in 1992. The information sales division has grown 61% since 1992. Samsung has introduced a wide range of IS products into the Canadian market, which include hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, printers, fax machines and monitors enforcing its leading market position and fast year-over-year growth with a strong local presence and reseller network to serve Canadian consumers from coast to coast. Samsung is building a strong presence in Canada as it has all over the world.


PRODUCT INTRODUCTION


With summer quickly approaching, North America is slowly thawing, the snow is going away, the grass is growing and the outdoor season is going into full swing. With outdoor activities and the mainstreaming of consumer HD camcorders and TV in the past two or so years, there is no longer an excuse to get some great HD family or outdoor footage to add to your memory vault.


With HD camcorders getting more popular, the older tape and DVD media is slowing greatly as the consumer which is more familiar with an iPod rather than a tape player flocks to the option that has solid state memory. Solid state memory and consumer HD camcorders go together like peanut butter and jelly and enabled the user to not only capture great HD footage, but easily upload it to their computer for editing, emailing or archiving.


Today I review SC-HMX20C which is the second generation in Samsung's HD camcorder lineup which is a newer, more featured-packed version of the SC-HMX10A which I reviewed last year HERE. Not only is the resolution bumped up from 720p to a Full HD 1080p, it also incorporates such new features as a flash for photos, an automatic lens cover and has its internal memory upgraded from 4Gb to 8Gb.


The SC-HMX10A itself was a great camcorder that was easy to use, let's see if the better second generation's SC-HMX20C adds to an already excellent HD recording experience.

Samsung fixes major flaw in its HD camcorders, approaches perfection




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.

Review by E-Gear: Samsung SC-HMX20C HD Camcorder

The E-Gear reviewed Samsung SC-HMX20C HD camcorder.

I’ve used a lot of Samsung cameras and camcorders over the years, and this is easily the most satisfying of the lot. Its operation is smooth and intuitive, and the video quality looks smashing on an HDTV.

The HMX20C is a medium-sized camcorder that records full 1920 x 1080 HDTV resolution in H.264 (MPEG4) format onto either the built-in memory (8GB) or a removable SD memory card. The bullet-shape design and glossy black shell give it a sleek, fashionable appearance. The large 2.7-inch widescreen LCD display looks bright and sharp, which it better because there’s no optical viewer to let you skip the LCD. The button placement and controls have all been placed to make one-handed operation easier, while the swiveling grip makes it easy to hold the camera comfortably when shooting from different angles.

I especially like the inclusion of the Mode button for toggling between video, photo and playback rather than the mode dials found on nearly every other camcorder on the market. The 10X optical zoom is also quick and responsive. One of the things that struck me most about this vidcam was how user-friendly the menu system is. This is an area that Samsung had found challenging over past years, but the company appears to have put a lot of careful thought into making every feature easy to find and understand, while making the on-screen options attractive too. People don’t tend to use their camcorders as often as still cameras, so they shouldn’t have to memorize complicated menu trees in order to get to the functions they want.

All the functions are accessed via the touchscreen LCD. Some people may worry about getting the screen too smudgy from finger tapping, but after years of using touchscreen devices, I’m not bothered by that. Just keep the kids’ messy fingers off it.Video quality impressed me as much as build quality. Some outside footage of my daughter on her new skateboard showed very minimal artifacts and noise while showing lots of detail and vibrant colors. A recording of a viola music recital looked equally sharp, allowing me to see textures in fabrics and facial details. Audio picked up from the built-in stereo mics also sounded good, which will encourage me to replay my daughter’s recital frequently.

Low-light shooting was fair-to-good, but there is no external light, so really dark scenes did show some graininess. The electronic image stabilizer performed about average for cameras in this price range. It did a fine job when zoomed out, but fully zoomed shots still showed camera shake with the stabilizer engaged. The 8GB memory will give you a little more than an hour at top quality.You can select from several resolutions, including 1080p or 1080i (at 30 or 60 frames per second) and 480p. Everything looked great on my 50-inch Hitachi plasma.

The camcorder can also take pretty decent still digital photos up to 3264 x 2448 resolution. Archiving your movies to a PC will eat up a lot of hard drive space (get an external backup) or you can back it up to a Blu-ray disc. PC connection is via USB. The files will play on a PS3. The camera ships with a copy of Cyberlink DVD Suite, battery charger and a dock to connect your camcorder via HDMI or component to an HDTV.
