Samsung VP-MX10/XEU Flash Memory Camcorder 
Amazon Price: ?156.99
Customer Review: Worth the money but not 720p (576i/p)
Got this at the weekend. Good product. fits in the hand nice, light and easy to use. The max recording resolution is 768 x 576 interlaced or progressive. takes sd cards upto 8gb with SDHC. Quality is good but not massivly impressive, but for the price its worth it. Records to mpeg-4 requires codec to be installed then the videos play straight from windows. has a 2.7 inch 16:9 screen but only records in 4:3 (very werid). Not tested battery life but it claims 120mins. Hope that helps. Raptor

Customer Review: Oh deary me.
When I first saw this camera on Amazon I honestly thought I’d found the dream camera. The price was good for the features that were offered. However, I soon realised that the JHV GZ-M21E was far from a dream-like… As you’ll have read in other reviews, Amazon messed up and like many other customers I was sent a European version. The plug didn’t fit with any of the voltage converters I tried, but luckily I had access to a shaver socket and used that to charge. We did call them, but - long story short; Amazon’s customer service is pathetic. This is Amazon’s fault so I won’t base the product rating on my bad experience, but unfortunately for JVC, this small piece of awful machinery hardly does itself justice as it is. The video quality isn’t great, but I only used it for YouTube videos so I didn’t complain. The focus was awful - when holding the camera perfectly still it would spontaneously blur, ruining many movies. I’m not sure what gave JVC the fantastic idea of making the camera record into some obscene unique JHV-created format which is only compatible with their FOUL and PESTILENT software, but I can only assume copius amounts of crack. The worst thing about this camera? The battery life. It was awful. I got about 2-3 hours of battery life at a time, even if I just left it on without recording. Conveniently, there was a catalogue of JVC products in the box which included ludicrously priced battery upgrades. And hence, I plan to shout at Amazon until I get a refund, and then buy myself a Sony HD Handycam, the likes of which I’ve heard endless streams of positivity about.
Customer Review: great point and shoot.but grainy photos
i just use it generally on auto mode and just film away and it copes well with most lighting conditions. As a camera it produces pretty poor photos though but then i dont think many camcorders do. The battery life isnt too good but you can easily buy a bigger battery to solve that. Overall i would recommend it as a no fuss camcorder with no tapes or discs to remember.
