Wasn't very impressed with this camera, it was definitely less than average in almost all aspects.
Look and design
Despite being quite light and portable, it is the ugliest thing I have ever laid eyes upon. The Samsung VP MX20 looks like Samsung were trying to make a dildo range, got about half way down the length and decided to turn it into a video camera instead. And then there's the stupid YouTube advert on the side. I can't see why I should have to walk around advertising YouTube when I'm not getting paid for it.
Function
It definitely didn't excel here either. The image quality is pretty poor and it only has a pathetic little sensor with a meagre 800,000 pixels. It has four quality modes and even the best one only reaches the bottom level of what a half decent video camera can do. It has a 4GB card, good for 1.5 hours filming in the best mode, and 4 hours in the 'web and mobile' mode. It does have a screen, which can swivel to allow you to record angles you couldn't normally see, such as over a tall, fat bloke whose decided to stand in front of you in a crowd. But most cameras can do that anyway so it's no big whoop.
Overall
A pretty low quality camera that shouldn't be seen in the hands of anyone who considers themselves in anyway a photographer. It's only redeeming quality is that it doesn't cost nearly as much as a decent camcorder, so it might be alright for a 'my first camera' type thing.

I'm trying really hard to not ask myself why anyone would want a dildo with a built in video camera - I guess it really is best not to go there.
For great technology at a fantastic price,look no further than this Samsung VP-MX20 ... more
camcorder.For starters, this camcorder had a CCD sensorwith 800,000 pixels and can record videos to SD, SDHC or MMC+ memory cards. The compact and easy-to-use VP MX20 ...
