Samsung HMX-W200
By Brian Jones
A small but durable video recorder from Samsung, this waterproof model withstands not only water splashes and submersions but dust, dirt, and accidental drops. Lightweight and compact, it fits easily in your pocket so you can take it with you on trips and adventures. The camcorder records HD video at 1080p or 720p and 30 fps, good enough quality to view on your HDTV. The software makes it easy to upload videos to social network sites or email. The 5 MP camera handles well-lit scenes quite well, but we noticed it’s hard to get a steady shot without a tripod. For $135, this Samsung camcorder holds up to all sorts of treatment very well.
