The Samsung U10 (AKA Samsung HMX-U10 FlashCAM) is a pocket camcorder for bloggers and casual videographers. Boasting 1080p video quality, inbuilt editing software, a time-lapse recording function and a 10-megapixel still image mode, the Samsung U10 is pretty well equipped for the asking price ($249).

Pros

  • Good feature set, easy to use, stylish design

Cons

  • Fixed-focus lens, struggles in low lighting

Bottom Line

The Samsung HMX-U10 is a worthy addition to the ever-expanding pocket cam family.

    $ 249.00 (AUD)
