Review by Blase Sanzone for Samsung HMX-U20 Ultra-Compact Full-HD Camcorder (Black)
Rating:
I purchased this May 28th, on sale for $170. I did not purchase a memory card as I had a 2 gig SD card at home and wasn’t sure that I would be keeping this camera. I charged the battery, put in my memory card and went out in the yard and shot some video and some still photos. It was a bright sunny day. I hooked up the camera to my 50 inch plasma TV with the included composite video cable and looked at the photos, which were really great quality and detail. I was pleasantly surprised that they were the equal of my Olympus 10 mega pixel digital still camera. Next I looked at the video that I shot at 1080P and heard this clicking noise throughout the video. My commentary was recorded just fine but the clicking was a deal breaker. The video quality was also not what I expected for the 1080 P setting. I loaded the CD into my PC and started to read the manual. As another reviewer noted you must us HC SD memory or data will be lost while the memory is trying to keep up with the high data rate of this camera. That night I bought a recommended SDHC card and put it in the camera. The next day I went to a WWII era air show and brought the camera. I shot about 40 minutes of video at 720P 60 frames per second and about 24 photos at the 10 mega pixel setting. There were lots of action videos as the old fighters streaked overhead as well as some newer jets. I hooked up the camera to the plasma TV and viewed the photos, which were really sharp and clear with great detail. You could read the serial number and min/max blade pitch on one of the props. This is using a low quality composite video cable between the camera and TV. The videos were terrific and no clicking noise. The use of the correct memory card improved all the quality levels of the photos and videos. My family was impressed that this small package could do so much. I next loaded the software on my PC and transferring the videos and photos was simple and the while not a high end package there is more than enough functionality to edit the videos, convert them to other formats and upload them to different online services. The only thing missing is the ability to burn them to a DVD, which I can do with Nero. On Memorial Day I went to the Daytona Prototype races at Lime Rock Park and shot a lot more video and photos. All came out terrific. I will purchase a monopod as it is difficult to hold this small camera steady for a long period of time. I will also be purchasing the optional HDMI cable to further improve the quality of the image when watching on my 50 inch plasma. This camera is a keeper and the quality is outstanding. I’ve shown the results to others with Flips or RCA and they rated the quality of the Samsung output to be superior.

Review by Ifny for Samsung HMX-U20 Ultra-Compact Full-HD Camcorder (Black)
Rating:
I am surprised by the early negative reviews. I never owned a pocket HD cam before (like the Flip Mino, Creative Vado, or Kodak Zi6) though I’ve seen them compared online (Tekzilla), so when I pre-ordered this camera I had a good idea of what I would be getting. I’ve had it for 3 days now and it is exactly what I expected it to be for the price and size. It is not a replacement for larger, heavier higher-end digital SLRs or camcorders with better lenses and imaging chips. It’s a convenient, cell phone sized FunCam. The smaller size and lighter weight means it’s harder to keep steady, a reported problem with all the pocket HD cams. Another known problem is they don’t do low light well. This camera is no exception.
Pros:
I found the 1080/30p video quite good outdoors in daylight, again considering the size of the chip and the quality of the lens you can expect at this price.
The Smart Auto feature does a surprisingly good job of detecting what you’re shooting and adjusting accordingly. Hold the camera close to an object and it automatically goes into macro mode. Shoot a back-lit subject and it automatically goes into Backlight mode. It does have an Action mode for fast moving subjects but I haven’t had it activated yet so I’m not sure how well it works to smooth out camera shake, if that’s even what it’s supposed to do. (There is no camera shake correction feature in the included software as another reviewed suggested.) I suspect Action mode may just increase shutter speed to minimize subject blur and not be an image stabilization feature. At any rate, this is a consumer point and shoot camera. These modes are not manually adjustable.
I’ve tried the time-lapse feature (the main reason I bought this camera) and it works very well, though I’d prefer more choices like 2 and 3 frames per second.
The 3x optical zoom works better than digital zooming though it does dim the image on the LCD screen when you zoom in.
It has a user replaceable rechargeable battery.
It uses SD cards you can swap out for more recording time.
The included video and picture editing software is basic but works and the fact it’s included on the camera is very convenient. You can also install it onto your PC if you like. I have higher end programs so I won’t be using it but it’s always there if you need it away from home.
My cons would be:
1 – The lens does not have a cover and I have already smudged it a couple of times. A sliding door or even lens cap seems like a no-brainer but there isn’t one. To be clear, the actual lens is deep inside the camera and there is a protective piece of glass (or plastic) over it. I did clean the smudges off the glass with a photo lens cloth with no problem. The other pocket HD cams don’t seem to have lens covers either.
2 – The still photos are not great. Much better than what my 2 megapixel Razr phone can do but obviously far below what my 8 megapixel Canon Rebel XT can deliver. It’s not just the pixels; it’s the lens and chip that make a quality image. This cam is not good for important photos and, again, the pictures are much better with a lot of light. With moving video images the grain is not as apparent.
3 – I’m not crazy about the USB dongle all these pocket cams have but I understand its convenience. An additional USB port would have been nice.
Other than that I am pleased with the purchase. My camera does not exhibit any of the mechanical noises during recording others mentioned. The only noise is when you use the zoom, as with every camera. You can even set it to mute audio recording during zooming if you like.
Of note, this camera will not take a Compact Flash card and if you’re buying an SDHC card for this camera Samsung recommends only three brands: Panasonic, SanDisc, and Toshiba. Other cards are not guaranteed to work. They also recommend a card with a transfer speed of at least 5MB/sec for video recording. It can take up to a 32GB capacity card. That’s approximately 225 minutes of 1080/30P recording.

I would say.. not bad…Here is the pictures I took under different kind of condition-[...]. All are shut in SMART/AUTO mode and there is not much night view cause it doesn’t work well without enough lighting. I don’t expect 170USD could have a professional sharp quality. But this one is compact and light, easy to carry on.

Review by Shiba Inu for Samsung HMX-U20 Ultra-Compact Full-HD Camcorder (Black)
Rating:
As others have commented- audio recording is defective (clicking noise). If you get one that does’nt have this problem then consider yourself lucky. To RMA it I would lose 15% plus + shipping back to the vendor ($33). So, I contacted Samsung service. At first they wanted me to go through various steps trying to correct the problem. I explained to the CS rep that ” I am tech savy, have gone through all various steps and the problem is the same as others have experienced”. Without hesitation, he processed a service ticket. The expensive paperweight went out today to the repair center. Hopefully, I will get it back in working condition before next Thursday so I can record my son’s high school graduation.
If you are considering BUYING IT-DO NOT until you see reviews by consumers saying the audio problem is fixed.
What was Samsung thinking? Its’ customers are deaf!
06/09/10 Update: on SAMSUNG warranty service for this item.
Sent it to them for warranty repair
Received 5/29/10
Repair completed 6/4/10
6/9/10 called Samsung wondering why I have’nt received it yet. Was told that repair service did not repair it because the part is backorded and then would not authorize an exchange because it was out of warranty with a purchase date of 6/01/09. The Exec CS rep could’nt see how it was out of warranty since it was manufactured in April 2010. They requested me to send them the invoice. OK, thats no problem but if I did’nt call my expensive paperweight would just be sitting on a shelf at the repair center. Now they promised me an expedited exhange (ROFL). BTW, they will probably send me someone elses refurbished wreck and my sons graduation was nice but we have no video record of it.
6/19/10:
Samsung called me to apologize. They were having problems with their computers and could not authorize an exchange till today. Now all that has to happen is the authorized repair center send them the defective unit and when they receive it they will send me a new one. I explained how nice it was that I did not tape my son’s graduation and that next week I am going on vacation (so I’ll miss recording that also. By the time I get it back the new model should be out- LOL.
Next step is writing the Samsung CEO and filing with my state Attorney General and BBB.
Maybe Samsung should drill for deep water oil. The well would never been finished and their would be no spill.
Thx SAMSUNG.
Update 6/24- received phone message. So sorry we can’t replace your camcorder because we don’t have any and won’t for awhile. Call us back and see “What kind of refund” that can be arranged, but we need your bill of sale or invoice (I already submitted the invoice when they said it was out of warranty because I purchased it last year before it was even marketed) or we can return your defective product to you. ?
So BS for a month and now I have to negotiate to get a full refund after being told countless lies. Think twice before purchasing Samsung products. The will tell you they love you but when they get what they want they will just dump you like a … (to be continued)
6/25- Called- no record of the invoice I previously sent- have to send them another. No problem- will refund me my purchase price but not what I paid for shipping. Ok- a $3 loss. How long will it take? 2-3 weeks. So, it took 1 month for them to say they can’t honor the warranty and replace the item and a month to refund my money. An interest free loan for 2 months. By the way I warned them that Microsoft owed me for a warranty repair for the first run XBOX 360 and it took 9 months to get a refund and I did not let up on them. But thats another nightmare story.

Like many tech hungry people, I wanted the latest and greatest toy. I pre-ordered this item back in April. Delay after delay should have let me know something was wrong, but finally it was shipped. Everything that has been mentioned here, totally correct. Clicking noise…every time I recorded. Yes, mute during zoom can be turned off, but it is still a bad camera despite this. Video quality – HD it is not. Sure, it says it, but the quality is grainy at best. SDHC card? People make too much out of brands, but I myself stick to SanDisk. Try a class 10 for speed rating and full hd recording. No dice. Just a poorly made unit. I got the fatal flaw on the manual included on the disk. The software was buggy. Everything about this screamed cheap and poorly made. The only great thing was the form factor. Too bad it did not work. Sent back. Amazon was awesome. Full refund. No drama. Stick with something bigger. Heck, my iPhone does a better job of recording. Pretty sad. Lesson learned.
