Conclusion:
Overall, I was incredibly pleased with the Samsung HMX20C. Just like any camera, it has a huge list of ups and of course a few downs as well. How you take these pros and cons will completely depend on how you plan to use this camera. It's very likely that many will never even come across a con to complain about. I was incredibly happy with the excellent quality videos I achieved while recording with the HMX20C. The still picture capture has improved leaps and bounds over the older HMX10A we've previously reviewed here and left me very happy with the quality of pictures it can now achieve. Although the camera is littered full of advanced functions and adjustments, Samsung has still kept everyone in mind and added features like EasyQ and some simple on-camera splicing abilities to accommodate even the most novice of users. I can say I was happy enough with the HMX20C that I am now quite seriously considering purchasing one for myself after my review unit [sadly] goes back. If you're in the market for a solid high definition video camera for your money, I highly encourage playing around with the Samsung HMX20C at your local electronics/camera store.

Pros:
Excellent quality 1080p videos
Picture quality is certainly good for 4 megapixels
Mounts just like a removable drive to access your videos on your PC
Hand strap is a comfort improvement over the HMX10A
Plenty of settings and adjustments for both video and photo modes
Simple on-camera splicing and fading ability will allow novice users to make good looking videos without the PC editing hassle

Cons:
Lens focal length might be bothersome for some users (and some may never notice it too)
Lack of HDMI port right on the camera
Wait, where is my HDMI cable?
