Das schicke, praktische Design des HMX-H106 kann leider nicht über die mittelprächtige Videoqualität und den unzuverlässigen Autofokus hinwegtäuschen. Wer sich dennoch unbedingt einen Samsung-Camcorder zulegen möchte,...

La Samsung HMX-H106 è una videocamera digitale compatta dalle dimensioni estremamente ridotte e facile da portare ovunque. La sua caratteristica più interessante è il fatto di essere provvista di un disco allo solido invece che della...
