      the screen is 16:9 but it records in 4:3. Even in high quality and 480p, the video is blocky and interlaced.

      Nice look, very light and comfortable and of course very easy to use. Unfortunately doesn't have many features. It's good for everyday use, but not professional.

      Comments about Samsung SC-MX10 Camcorder:

      Great for family and impromptu use.

      Pros; Inexpensive, very good quality, uses flash sd memory, excellent Schneider lens and optical zoom, image stabilization. Video quality good. Audio quality good. Very portable and small-easily fits into a pocket. Holds a 2 hour charge and will take almost 2 hours of video on a 4 gb SD card (not included). This is a neat little item which you can carry easily and pop out to take some video any time. The "Q" point and shoot feature allows operation to be fully automatic, and it takes quite good vids on this setting in most locations without having to worry about making a lot of adjustments such as to the white balance etc.

      Cons; Video quality very good under most circumstances, but not excellent or HD. Lacks optical viewfinder and on board illumination. Extra batteries very expensive and only available from the manufacturer.(at least at present). A bit awkward to hold and use because of the strap and button locations. No external battery charger. AC adapter not included.
