Samsung HMX-W200 Waterproof HD Recording with 2.4-inch LCD Screen (Titanium Gray) Reviews

I bought the Samsung HMX-W200 camera to take better video than my cell mobile phone of my 2yr old son. I required one thing tiny, rugged, and quick to turn on so as not to miss something, and light enough to carry in a pocket with me most of the time.
So far this is a fantastic little video camera. I took a number of video’s with it, and they turned out wonderful. A handful of issues to note even though. It uses a Micro SD, or Micro SDHC size card for storage, which you have to obtain separately. It will record 4 hours at 720 or 2 hrs at 1080 on a 16GB card. 1 of the reviews I study on a advertising and marketing web site mentioned that you could adjust the frame rate, if you can, I have not found out how. The menu provides only 2 possibilities 1080 and 720, each at 30fps. It only will take 1.5 seconds from when you press the energy button, to currently being in a position to shoot video. When you plug the camera into your pc, it sets itself up as two drives, a single with the information, and the other with the intelli-studio Light software package. I identified this to be very simple to use to do simple editing, cutting out small components of the video that I did not want, and so forth… I also adore the feature that enables me to pause the recording and then start off it once more with out developing a separate file.

VIDEO:
The 1080p seems excellent. It also looked excellent on my 50in. HDTV. For the price this camcorder is well worth it. Every little thing Samsung claims about this camcorder is true. I have been employing it for a month now. So far so excellent. Nevertheless I have not even believed about putting it in water. But I have utilized it in the rain and it nevertheless worked excellent.

Pictures:
I only give the four stars since there is no timer for taking images. It really is not a huge deal when I am shooting video. But I do like they way photos search on this point. It demands the most steady hand in the planet. I have utilised a tripod and it assists a small. I just wish I could set a timer to guarantee a still shot. The camera impressively utilizes all organic light. I fully grasp the selling point for this camera is the 1080p video, but I do not often want to carry both my Canon EOS and my Samsung HMX when attending a public event.

General:
If you are in the market place for a pocket camcorder go with this a single and not the Flip. It is rugged, waterproof, and prepared to record 2 seconds soon after you turn it on.

I bought this following a very negative knowledge with a JVC Picsio (otherwise identified as garbage). It comes on quickly, records quite excellent high quality (grainy in reduced light circumstances, but that is anticipated) video and shops really simply for swift access for those little moments you want to capture. It really is straightforward to unload the video, effortless to edit and simple to very own. Got this for my wife who HATES overly difficult devices, which this is not. I believe that if your hunting for something that is genuinely waterproof, rugged and nonetheless requires substantial quality video, then obtain this and you wont be disappointed.
