 Perfect for what I need. September 22, 2008
19 out of 20 found this review helpful
I just wanted a little camcorder with decent quality. For the money you can't go wrong with the SC-MX20. It is so simple and straight forward. The only thing I don't like is that none of the common/standard media players can play mp4 format. Other than that I like it and am very happy with the quality of the video. I would recomend it. I did a lot of research on camcorders the ones with good reviews are $350 +. I decided to take a chance on this camcorder because it is so new there aren't many reviews yet and I am very happy with my choice.
Great Little Camera October 25, 2008

This is a great little camera. Took a video, connected to my laptop, which looked at the camcorder as a USB storage device, opened it in a new window and just copied the MP4 to my desktop. I can play it as an MP4 from my desktop, but I opened Adobe Premier Elements and changed it to a Quicktime video (conversion took about a minute) which I can email to friends. I had no problem with video lag and I am wondering if the other reviewer may have inadvertantly put the camera in its time-lapse mode. I would say that the video is comparable to my Sony Handycam (for which I spent considerably more).
great camera !! :) October 29, 2008

great camera, good quality, cheap price 34x zoom is a LOT and the picture displays well you can record up to 5 hrs if video with just an 8gb card the battery can last up to 3 hrs, or longer if you turn off the display
it works fine with macs, and iMovie HD and 08 the only downside is the fact that you cannot record directly onto iMovie, that requires a firewire camera
AMAZING! December 15, 2008

I have used many camcorders in the past. My most recent camcorder is a JVC mini camcorder. It is a wonderful little device which does everything well. Enter the Samsung MX20. This memory camcorder blows every other device I've ever used out of the water! First of all, it fits in the palm of my hand perfectly. It's small (petite), but loaded! The 34X zoom is so quick and precise, I quickly forgot about my little JVC device. It hardly ever needs time to auto adjust the viewfinder.
I recently used the MX20 at my daughter's pageant. From 20 - 30 feet away, I was able to zoom (distortion free) in on the contestants as if I was sitting on the front row. I was also sitting in a very dark section of the audience and through one of its many camera selections (night viewing), I was able to record perfectly. I was using an 8gb sd card and got about 1.25 hours of high quality recording. Not bad. Also, there is no large battery hanging off the back of the device!
Overall, I would have so say that these new flash memory recorders have made the last generation of recorders obsolete. Plain and simple.
Compact and easy to use. December 12, 2008
Its compact easy to use, good battery life. Even my 10 year old was able to take good footage!
