Samsung SC-MX20
>> Hi, I'm Lori Grunin, senior editor with CNET, and
this is the Samsung SE MX 20. The MX 20 is a really,
really attractively priced standard definition camcorder
that has all of the trappings of today's standard def
camcorders. 34 X zoom, way longer than you need, and
it's not optically stabilized so you can't really use it
all the way out to the end of the range without a
tripod. Doesn't have a video light, does have separated
stereo mics which nice, and this camcorder does have
surprisingly good audio. And I expect that's why. Like
it's competitors, it has a built in lens cover, manual
not electronic, but that's a small price to pay. One of
the really nice things about the camcorder is the
design. Like previous models it has this handle which
rotates down to adjust so that it can fit almost any
hand and it's complimented by this inset rubber grip
that just makes holding it a much more comfortable
experience with this rounded design than you get with a
lot of the competitors. Unfortunately the zoom switch
is kind of wobbly and it's very hard to get a consistent
zoom rate. One of the other problems with the MX 20 is
the performance. There's just a lag before -- when you
hit record to start recording and when you hit stop
record to stop recording. It doesn't have pretty or
obvious buttons or switches, just the basics. And the
video quality just isn't that good, and that's
unfortunately where a lot of the manufacturers cut
corners on these low end camcorders is the video
quality. So if you're looking for great quality at a
bargain, this is not the model for you. But if you're
looking for something that's comfortable to shoot with,
long zoom at an attractive price, the Samsung S E MX 20
is probably a good deal. I'm Lori Grunin, this is the
Samsung SE MX 30.
