Scorbing Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 I am undecided as to which one to get of these two models, which are currently on sale at the local BestBuy. I need your wise assistance!!!! Samsung Q10 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+...&skuId=2022343 Samsung H300 http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Samsung+...H300&cp=1&lp=1 Official Manufacturer Website for Both Products http://www.samsung.com/us/photography/camcorders Your help will be most appreciated ** Correct me if I am wrong but from what I can see the only difference between the two models is the Zoom lens.

Scorbing Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Interesting conversation I had with a Samsung Rep Just Now About These Two Cameras: Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond. You are now chatting with 'Raven'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today. Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK4380785065X Raven: Hi, thanks for reaching out to Samsung tech support. How can I help you today? John: Hello Raven. I got a quick question for you regarding the Samsung HMX-H300 and the Samsung HMX-Q10 Raven: Hello John. Raven: Sure, please go ahead. John: Is it true that the Samsung HMX-Q10 has better video quality than the HMX-H300? John: I noticed the effective pixels on the H300 is 1.75 and on the Q10 is 2.07, yet the H300 is $100.00 more than the Q10 Raven: No, HMX-H300 has the better video quality than HMX-Q10. John: So why does the H300 have less pixels than the Q10? Wouldn't less pixels mean less quality? Raven: No, more pixels would give you better picture quality. Raven: But the lens used in both of them are different. Raven: In HMX-H300, Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan HD lens is used. Raven: Where as in HMX-Q10 a normal lens is used. Raven: Hence, HMX-H300 has better video quality than HMX-Q10. John: I am looking at the Q10 right now and it says on the front of it: Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan HD. So is that a less quality lens than the one on the H300? John: here's where I am seeing that at: John: http://ces.crunchgear.com/2011/01/samsung-busts-out-new-full-hd-hmx-q10-camcorder-2/ Raven: Okay. Please allow me to check with it. John: OK. Thank you Raven: Thanks. Raven: Thanks for waiting. Raven: I am sorry to inform you that Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan HD lens is available in HMX-H300. Raven: Let me provide you with a link which gives you the complete information about it. John: OK cool. Raven: http://www.samsung.com/us/system/consumer/product/hm/xh/30/hmxh300bnxaa/HW300_spec.jpg Raven: I am sorry for the typo. Raven: The correct link is as follows. Raven: http://www.samsung.com/us/photography/camcorders/HMX-H300BN/XAA-features Raven: Are you able to open the link? John: Yes Raven: Thanks for confirmation. Raven: Please refer the link to get the correct information. John: So the Varioplan lens on the Q10 is just a standard lens? is that what U are indicating? Raven: Yes, you are correct. The lens on HMX-Q10 is a standard lens. Raven: Let me also provide you with a link which gives you the complete information about it. John: ok Raven: The link is as follows. Raven: http://www.samsung.com/us/photography/camcorders/HMX-Q10BN/XAA-features Raven: Are you able to open the link. John: yes thank you Raven: You're welcome. Is there anything else I can assist you with? John: No. Thank you. You were very helpful. John: Have a good day! Raven: You're Welcome. You too. Raven: Thank you for chatting with us.

Scorbing Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 Which one did you buy? I went for the H300. Here's a low light sample I just took. I am amazed at the quality. That is exactly how I saw things so the camera is correct. Check it out. It is on 720p, 60fps. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/4067216/720p%20Low%20Light.MP4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
