Samsung has updated their HMX-U10 with two new compact camcorders, the HMX-U20 and the HMX-U15. Both shoot 1080p video and feature time lapse recording, but bumping up to the U20 gets you 3x optical zoom. Nothing too exciting about these updates, but their solid specs ensure that Samsung is keeping up with the Joneses in the compact camcorder category

Just a bit of hardware erotica on the Flip MinoHD : the red circle is the lens, which is being pulled off the CMOS chip (directly below). The 720P chip leaves individual pixels just 2.2 microns to capture their snippets. And here’s another neat shot—the Flip MinoHD’s lens (top) next to a iPod nano 5th Generation camera assembly.

Panasonic’s camcorder game was pretty strong in 2009, and now we have the full list of prices to go along with the specs for the three HD cameras and three standard-def cams we saw early in January.
In today’s Remainders: excitement! Sorta. A shot of the iPhone 4 that doesn’t really tell us anything about the iPhone 4; a Star Wars and Sea Chicken adventure; a $500 HD camcorder that doesn’t quite rev our engines; and more. Home Movies JVC’s Enverio family grew by one member today with the announcement of the GZ-HM340, another just-barely-sub-$500 HD camcorder.

The Camcorder has been hard pressed by flash cams and DSLRs for awhile, but now we’re seeing the ever-improving HD cheapies and DSLRs taking over the semi-pro space with external microphones, lights and grips.

Take your pick as to what’s better about these new Sanyo Xacti cams: On the one hand, they’re thinner and lighter than ever. On the other hand, they got rid of that pain-in-the-ass AVCHD video format. Slashgear says the bigger Xacti, the VPC- SH1 has 1080p recording, a 35mm wide-angle lens, 30x optical zoom and takes 4 megapixel photos.
