CNET.co.uk judgement:
The Samsung VP-HMX10 isn't the most advanced camcorder in the world, but for this price it isn't meant to be. What it does it does in a simple, accessible way, with a friendly touchscreen and controls. High-definition video is reasonable if not the best and there isn't enough scope to adjust performance, but this is still a great choice for the point-and-shoot crowd
