TrustedReviews just posted an article about the HMX-R10, which I have already written about a while back in my "Samsung HMX-R10 HD camcorder looks like a UFO" here. They say:

The new video camera from Samsung comes with a new angled lens at 45 degrees, this allows the user to grip the camcorder more easily and will be available from March 2009.

The camcorder has a large 2.7-inch LCD swivel touchscreen, this is also where the users can access to all the function of the Samsung HMX-R10 camcorder. Not only can you record Full HD videos, you can also take perfect still images.

Samsung HMX-R10 Reviewed

While it still looks like a UFO with its angled lens and bubbly design, the HMX-R10 HD camcorder has a lot under the hood.

camcorderinfo.com has a review of the camcorder and t hey say:

The HMX-R10 has a unique 8x optical full HD lens. There is no lens cap, but the tempered glass is designed to withstand bumps and scratches. The lens is also angled at 25 degrees, which changes the way you hold the camcorder. The new grip is unintuitive at first, but ultimately more comfortable and ergonomic. The R10 is also equipped with the highest resolution sensor of any Samsung camcorder—and one of the largest. This could produce impressive low light results and it promises to make the R10 an intriguing choice for a video/still hybrid.
