During last CES, Samsung announced its 2010 line, including three new Wi-Fi enabled flagship camcorders: the HMX-S10, HMX-S15, and HMX-S16. This makes Samsung the first of the major manufacturer to release a camcorder that allows you to upload videos remotely. All three camcorders also have DLNA capability so you can wirelessly transmit video files to your home computer.

The 1/2.33-inch CMOS sensor is befitting Samsung's flagship line, with a 10.1-megapixel resolution that should make for sharp videos and photos alike. The sensor also introduces Samsung's new BSI technology: Back Side Illumination, designed to improve low light performance. The 4.8mm Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan-HD lens has a 15x optical zoom and 18x intelli-zoom. The S10 is also equipped with dual optical image stabilization: a hybrid system that uses digital and optical image stabilization simultaneously.

As with last year's high definition camcorders from Samsung, the S-series will record full HD video using the H.264 AVC video codec. These MPEG-4 files are often easier to edit in post-production than the unwieldy AVCHD files used by many other manufacturers. 1920 x 1080 video can be recorded at either 60i or 30p, with an optional 60p output via HDMI. Two slow motion options allow you to capture low resolution footage at either 250fps or 500fps.
