- Optical image stabilization (rather than the EIS)
- HDMI on the camcorder (rather than using the dock)
- Wider angle lens (rather than the 50mm or so)

Only issue here is that these new models have 1/4.5 inch sensors while the HMX20 has a 1/1.8 inch sensor.]]>Jan 5th 2009 9:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/Jan 5th 2009 9:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd//s]]>Jan 5th 2009 9:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/Jan 5th 2009 9:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/
Sony is the brand you should choose for a camcorder. ]]>Jan 5th 2009 9:30PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/
I have a coworker who has the HDR-SR12 and I've seen footage from decently lit restaurants where anything that is not remotely lit has crazy grain running through it. Any shadow has grain. The Samsung units can do better for sure.

Samsung is on a roll. After the stellar low light performance of the Sc- HMX20 (5 lux in 30p mode, same as Canon HF11 in same mode).

I think the pics tell the story. Even though the now "old" HMX20 (released this year) and HF11 were both producing 50 IRE @ 5 lux in 30p the test chart of the Samsung appears much brighter. Take a look on the upper right corner also (as far as shadow detail in low light). In the Samsung you can distinguish the last 3 vertical black bars, on the HF11 not so much.

Granted Canon can do 24p which is nice and good for certain people (movie look when combined with a 35mm adapter, like a Brevis.)]]>Jan 5th 2009 10:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/
SSD has a lesser lifespan then a hard drive right? like i heard it can only write over and over a couple thousand times before it dies? thats the only thing that scares me with SSD.

looking forward to some unbiased performance reviews when these next-gen HD cams hit the streets. Everything's HD now - I want nice optics, excellent low light CMOS, and stellar image stabilizing. Whoever pulls that off gets my $.

ps. what's the word on that new CMOS technology that Engadget posted about a while back... was supposed to kick ass in low-light and revolutionize the industry. Can't find the link right now.]]>Jan 6th 2009 1:02PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/Jan 12th 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/05/samsung-debuts-h-series-of-hd-camcorders-first-with-64gb-ssd/Feb 21st 2009 3:10PM
