This new model continues to prove that Samsung camcorders are crap. If you are considering this camcorder, save your money for a Sony HDR-CX190 instead!

The image so overexposed that at first I thought I had it in "C. Nite" mode, but it was set to auto scene mode and the C. Nite menu was grayed-out, so I assume it was turned off. And the autofocus and image stabilization are horribly bad, just like the HMX-H300 I tested previously.
