Opinion:
Following is the review from the Camcorderinfo.com, a famouse camcorder review site.

The Samsung SC-HMX10 is clearly the leader in a burgeoning class of camcorders we might call “budget HD.” That is to say, among those camcorders not made by Canon, Sony, and Panasonic – all of which hover near or above the $1,000 mark – the HMX10 is the best we’ve tested. To what extent is this a useful accolade? That’s difficult to say, and depends largely on how much money the consumer is willing to spend. The SC-HMX10 officially retails for $799, but can be found for less online. The most compelling models that record in flash media include the Sony HDR-CX7 and Panasonic HDC-SD1 / HDC-SD5. These camcorders can be found for only a few hundred dollars more, if that, and offer far better video quality. If you can get that kind of cash together, the upgrade is clearly worth it. But some people have a hard spending limit that we can respect.
You’re choice is this. Either sit on your money until the camcorder you’ve had your eye on is replaced and goes on sale, or settle for a Samsung. Chances are, if you’re like most people and are only using your camcorder a few times a year, you’ll like what you see from the SC-HMX10. The video is better than we expected, and the interface is very user friendly. However, a side-by-side with a full 1920 x 1080 Sony or Canon camcorder will have you crying in your beer with remorse, so prepare thyself.
