The Samsung SC-MX20 is a great starter camcorder. It is very customizable allowing you to progress from a new or novice user to one who becomes more familiar at the manual modes. The small profile, long battery life and relatively low price makes it a great deal. The fact that is also has an optical zoom and shoots good daylight videos is a huge plus.

The SC-MX20 had to make some sacrifices to get the price low. You’re limited to 720×480 recordings with no capability to capture a still shot, essentially forcing you to also carry a point & shoot. The recordings are acceptable but not spectacular.

Advantages

• Easy to use

• Lots of features for entry camera
• Rotating screen makes self-captures very easy

Disadvantages

• Picture and audio quality acceptable but not the best

I would like to thank Samsung for making this review possible.
