Conclusion:
Although flash/hard drive based HD cams aren't cheap yet, Samsung certainly has a great device on their hands in the lower price range of around $700. The HMX10A certainly left me impressed with not only great quality 720p videos but also a very good set of features as outlined throughout the review. For those looking to get out of the past and into the future with a new HD cam, I'd certainly recommend stopping by your nearest camera shop and playing with the Samsung HMX10A.
Oh, and for those Oprah fans, it's one of her recommended gifts this year too.
Pros:
Great quality videos
Although not hard-drive based like some, Flash memory is shock-proof
Easy to use
Compact size and hand-grip swivel
SDHC/MMC+ support
Included dock/carrying pouch was a nice touch
Good battery life
Cons:
Should include an HDMI cable as well
Would be nice if still-photo quality was greater then it could double as a photo camera
