Samsung has been very kind to send me a Samsung VP-MX10 for review as well as a 4 GiB SDHC SanDisk memory card.

As this is my very first camcorder, this review may not be as in dept as I cannot compare it with any other camcorder besides the video feature of my digital camera.

In the review that I will be doing, I will shoot 2 one minute videos (one in the day and one in the night) and I will upload the video (uncompressed) to let my readers have a look at the quality of the video.
