Alien-Eyed Samsung Camcorder Explained, Ships Early This Summer
At first, the confusing HMX-R10 drew comparisons—a submarine, a pill, a, cyclopic alien—but we didn't really get it. Now we know: it's a bid to fundamentally change how we handle cameras.

Combined with the camera's svelte physique (Sammy claims it's the smallest 1080p camera in world), this means that taking video with the HMX-R10 is roughly akin to throwing your relaxed, slightly outstretched hand toward your subject.
