The Samsung HMX20C is one very stylish looking camcorder that comes with an equally nice docking cradle. Its docking cradle allows you to recharge the camcorder, use the built-in USB port, and connect to additional AV devices via HDMI - all conveniently at the same time. The controls of the Samsung HMX20C were easy to use, in fact we think its great that Samsung placed a nice responsive touch screen LCD for more convenience. One of the things we noticed though when were testing this camcorder was that its cylindrical shape gives it an odd grip as opposed to the other HD camcorder in this Group Test. This is because the design of the HMX20 allows for a swivel grip which makes it also very convenient when recording at any angle you want comfortably - eye level shots or waist level. Found at the LCD's cavity are the icheck (or battery check), flash and easy Q buttons. The easy Q mode can be useful for those who don’t want to bother about setting the camcorder in the right settings, or even novices who aren’t too familiar about using a camcorder. By pressing the flash button a pop-up flash appears on the top part of this camcorder's lens. The other things that'll you'll find at the LCD's cavity are the component/av/s and USB ports that are cleverly concealed by sliding lids. The SDHC / MMC+ card slot is tucked behind the same door as the battery, which is at the back, under the silver metallic accent of the HMX20C. Just above the Battery/Memory Card cover is the mode button/indicator that allows you to easily select between Movie, Photo and Play mode, the zoom switch and the Photo button can also be found near. Samsung also managed to include a mic jack and it can be found just below the record and power button. Macro mode is impressive with the Samsung HMX20C. It also features a nice high-speed capture feature that lets you take up to 10 seconds of video at an astonishing 250 frames per second (fps). The camcorder records 1920 x 1080 high definition video to an internal 8GB flash memory drive, or onto a removable SDHC/MMC card. The HMX20C has a 10x optical and 100x digital zoom, and comes with a dock to transfer video to your computer as well as some basic DVD authoring software. The videos and still photos we got using this camcorder were good - Vivid, detailed with impressive colour accuracy. In fact its results were just as good as our winners but since we can only have 3 winners for each category we had to give the award to those that offered more features and accessories.
