I’ve written a lot of consumer electronics reviews over the years — indeed, I wrote a weekly column for Engadget with interviews of tech CEOs not long ago — so somehow I fell onto the radar screen of Samsung, which just sent me the Samsung SC HMX10 HD video recorder to check out. I’m a gadget hound, so I took them up on the offer. Here are the rules:
The camera is yours to enjoy and put through its
paces as you see fit. We’ve attached no strings to receiving the
camera. We know you’re going to give your honest opinion to us and to
your readers about how it works, what you like and don’t like and other
impressions. The only thing we ask is that if you do decide to talk
about the camera, which you’re not obligated to do, that you disclose
you received it as part of a program being run by Samsung. That way
your readers can give your opinions and impressions their full weight.
The hi-def camcorder sells for $480 to $900, and it’s just a tiny little thing. This is the first camcorder I’ve used with a memory chip rather than a mini-DV tape, so it’ll be interesting to run it through its paces and compare with my new Canon HV20 hi-def camcorder.
