Samsung SC-MX20

Samsung has the answer to all those compact, cheap flash drive camcorders out there that are really only good for making movies to post online. The SC-MX20 records directly to a memory card and its compact size make it ideal for taking it on the go.

The all grey chassis of the SC-MX20 features rounded corners to make it slide effortlessly into your pocket. One of the sides opens up to reveal the LCD screen. At a scant 9.9 oz, the SC-MX20 is a truly portable camcorder.

Standout features

• 34x optical zoom

• 2.7 inch LCD screen

• Electronic image stabilizer

• Records to SD card

Features

Bring the action closer with the 34x optical zoom. The action is never too far away with the Samsung SC-MX20. Using only its optics, you can bring the action 34 times closer. Every seat can now be a front row seat. Since it uses optics to zoom, there is no loss in image quality either.

With its large 2.7 inch LCD screen, the Samsung SC-MX20 lets you see everything that you are filming. This allows makes the menus easier to navigate since you can actually see them. The bright TFT screen is also easy to see, even in direct sunlight.

The built in electronic image stabilizer takes the shake out of all your movies. Even if you don’t have the steadiest of hands, the SC-MX20 can do the work for you. This allows you to shoot movies that everyone will enjoy watching.

All your media is recorded directly to a SD card. This allows for maximum flexibility. If one card gets too full, just replace it with another and keep filming. And since SD cards are so small, carrying spares is no big deal.

The 34x optical zoom is much better than most cameras in this class. This combined with its small size impressed most of the expert reviewers. The camera had decent image quality.

Consumers were impressed with the camera’s overall small footprint. The camera felt comfortable when held and the features were easy to access. The 34x optical zoom also impressed the consumer reviewers. Most consumers would recommend this to their friends.

Summary

Set yourself apart and get a mini camcorder that can actually produce quality images. The Samsung SC-MX20 combines many high end features into a compact, easy to use camcorder.
