Thread: Samsung VP-HMX10C in test: Video camera for laymen like me

From video cameras so far I knew, above all, that they are difficult and slow. Moreover, it is a pain, the movies on the PC. The Samsung VP-HMX10C is an easy, simple video camera, the perfect HD video. Since the camera is so easy, I was the perfect tester.

When there is no HMX10C coils and no discs. The camera filming on its internal 8-gigabyte memory, which deals with SD cards complement. The videos in the H.264 format is also PC-ready.


Actually, I have always envied all the professionals involved in family celebrations with video cameras , nights data on the PC imported, For festival participants had the time, the advantage of arduous work that a few months grace period, before the finished video product to a mercilessly perpetrated missteps on the floor and the rule violations at the buffet kept in mind.

That is now all over. As of now I am the man behind the camera and degradiere my environment according to whim or to main actors . have to thank the Samsung VP-HMX10C.Nevertheless, they produced with the resolution of 1280 × 720/50p clear and sharp movies, which are found on a computer screen simply perfect look.

Small camera with a high quality

This means that the built-in memory fit up to 70 minutes happening in the best quality. In saving resolution goes even for up to 12 hours Unfortunately, the battery after an hour and a half flabby.

First comes joy at the Samsung already at the touch. The hand strap on the right side of camera around can rotate 150 degrees. Even with out views must not dislocate the wrist but simply turns the camera around the wrist around. Since the touch-screen around 270 degrees can be rotated, it is the queue at the dessert buffet so loosely and controls "over the head" scan.

In three seconds ready

Powering and press the button is the second experience with the Samsung. Within three seconds, they filmbereit if I just would not ever forget the manual lenses protective flap back. Here Samsung had with a motorized damper us amateurs and professionals much Unbill declined.

The simple Filmerei is expected pace. With the 10x zoom brings to the eyes if necessary surcharge the pretty cousin filling in the picture. The macro range is a "rank marriages" to a centimetre, for all that hair in the soup.An emergency LED lights for greater brightness. The scope of Hellmachers but at about one metre limited.

Incidentally handycrafts the video camera as a digital camera with 3 megapixels. It has made us especially the extremely fast serial-screen mode like series of images of up to 60 photos. It has also require any kiss scene guarantees the decisive moment banned.

A button too much

Fail to comprehend is why it is a special photo photo release, but this is not automatically the photo mode. In practice, we have often expressed violently on the photo button - only to realize that the Samsung nor the video mode.

The produced artwork can be either on the rather vague camera view display or via HDMI cable and docking station immediately on an HD TV enjoy. A pity only that the necessary cables Samsung is not the same box. Is the TV from Samsung, which is mostly remote control for controlling the camera.

If the VP-HMX10 connected to the PC, it appears there without driver installation as a drive. Unfortunately, you can connect the USB cable directly to the camera simply slot, but must also included in the docking station.Videos will appear on the PC as MP4 files and can be as arbitrary files instantly copy, or by mail.

Unfortunately, they are neither Windows nor the Mac easily. The Samsung used H.264 MP can be neither with VLC still play QuickTime directly. Only after installation of the included CyberLink PowerDVD can the movies directly on the PC play. The program package beigepackte CyberLink DVD Suite also allows the simple cutting of the films, and the publication at YouTube.


Movies can be made directly to the camera cutting. For example, a sequence to remove start on the display the cutting process and typing at the beginning and at the end of the deleted scene on the screen. The part is then cleanly removed and the "loose ends".

Fazit Conclusion

In the test enthused by the Samsung good picture and sound quality.Thanks to its light weight of 310 grams and its compact dimensions (61.5 x 67.5 x 117.5 mm), they are happy with. It makes a strong impression and there are hardly any moving parts, they probably also survives adventure.

At Samsung details could still grind, whether the lens cap, or the photo button.
