The HMX-U10 is proof that beauty can only be skin deep. In terms of looks and design, it’s head and shoulders above many of its rivals, but a clunky touch interface makes this a frustrating device to use, and both still and video quality are disappo...
Abstract: Looking at the specs, the Samsung U10 FlashCAM sounds like a smashing gadget, pushing the boundaries by offering both video and photos from a model that can easily fit in your pocket. However, we were disappointed with the quality of both video and st...
Thanks to the SD card, the HMX-U10 is less bulky than the Flip. It's also got stills shooting to boot (10 megapixels, no less) - something lacking from all other mini camcorders so far. The U10’s 1080p video quality is great, but not really noti...
The SD card may cut down on the size of the unit and give you more space than the Flip's on-board memory, but it does add cost and detracts from convenience. It also needs a USB cable - not a massive hassle, but less user-friendly than the Flip's...

Takes still photos and HD video, Unique angled body design, Easyaccess SDHC memory card slot, More features than many competitors
Overexposed video under higher light, Near cameraphonelevel photo quality, Cannot handle closeup content, Strange side placement of tripod screw
Examining the Video Quality So, if the ability to take still photos is meant to be a secondary feature, surely the primary function of the HMX-U10 will be better, right? Unfortunately, I wasn’t exactly pleased with how the Samsung U10 did with high-...
Abstract: Unlike most of the camcorders we tested this month, the U10 has plenty of image customisation options, such as the ability to record in black and white and a sport mode for capturing fast-moving scenes. While the U10 takes acceptable still images, videos..
