Nice wrapping

Crystal Gloss finish is on the agenda for this very cute camcorder. This shiny gloss paint has become the brand’s signature, a successful design for this little camcorder with flash memory, available in 2 versions: SMX-C10CP for the "platinum black" and SMX-C10RP for the "vibrato red". It is very compact as it has neither disk nor hard drive: the SMX-C10 records on SD or SDHC memory cards.
The glossy vibrato red finish is rather successful!

Simple definition

No hi def here but SD-VGA in 640x480 pixels at 30 fps or SD D1 in 720 x 576 pixels but with a very fluent 50 fps! Without HD and encoded in H.264 HP/MP4, videos from the CP10 don’t take up much space: on a 16 GB SD card, 6h20 of video will fit in with its best image quality. By the way, Samsung also announces a battery life of 2h40, which puts this camcorder in a good rank among the most enduring digital camcorders.

Interval metering

The "Timelapse" function is worth noting: it allows taking an image every 1, 3, 5, 10, 15 or 30 seconds then view them in-a-row as a movie. This type of mode is brilliant for filming clouds moving, sunset or a flower blossoming in slow motion then watches the scene more quickly.

Stereo sound, no surround, simple definition image, no HD: the Samsung is a handy little camcorder (2,7" 230 000 pixels swivel screen), with a strong battery life and rather good value. Its fully takes responsibility for its ‘gadget’ aspect, with this button upload directly on YouTube the videos captured with the SMX-C10. Handy for fans of video sharing on the Net, it will save a lot of time, all the more so as the basic editing functions can be performed directly on the camcorder. So to transfer your videos on YouTube you only have to plug the camcorder to a computer via the mini-USB port and push the dedicated button. Besides, the SMX-C10 is recharged via the USB port, very handy!
Here in its "titanium black" outfit, we notice the lens 25°-upward lens for a less tiring position when shooting.
