Where's the flash??? The new Samsung HMX-U10 is very cool looking, indeed, except for one thing... where's the flash???

I bought one of these from QVC and it was boxed up for return the evening I received it. Inside video is pathetic, touchpad is very quirky, inside photos are miserable and outside video is bland. If you want to read more reviews, just check them out on QVC. There are over 40 people just like me who couldn't get this camcorder returned fast enough.

No it does not. No flash either. But did just discover some cool camera features like Night and sketch.

Thanks very much for the info., Les. I actually returned my camera when even Panasonic tech support couldn't fix the problem, but I later learned it was not a defective camera. I'll be buying it again in the near future as I think it's a great camera, and I'll be saving your message in an attempt to figure it all out. Also, too bad there's no flash button on the camera and that you have to go to the menu to fiddle with it. That's weird! (and too bad it doesn't pop up automatically, like my Sony) THANKS AGAIN!

Didn't have a problem with the flash or any camera features....was disappointed in the CC area...didn't hold what I had hoped for....if I tried to put cash or extra CC ... the back would not stay closed! Not sure I'd get it again....not using it...have a new phone!

Yes I picked it up yesterday. Black only. Best Buy at Willowbrook in Houston. Went to BB site, searched for cam, and it gives list of local stores. Sunday there two store, Monday just one, but I have cam in hand. Haven't had chance to play with it yet, tonight is the night. Few quick obs, don't like that battery has to be charged in camera, so had to purchase charger, no case at all. At first glance I don't see a lot pof capability for aperture or shutter priority, but it may be in a menu screen somewhere. Will report back after trip this weekend.

I've been flipping back and forth between the SD800 and the A710. And, your pics are now making me lean towards the A710. Two must-haves for my first digital camera are a view finder and image stabilization. Just one question for you, cjw333. I noticed that a couple of your motion shots were blurry. Was the stabilizer on? Thanks for sharing your photos. They're awesome.

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/909705-REG/Samsung_hmx_f90bn_xaa_HMX_F90_Flash_Memory_Camcorder.html was one I had looked at a while back cheap but the reviews were awesome and I love samsung products. I also found this link http://hardcoreoutdoor.com/new-gear-alert-ipad-optics-adaptor-from-larue-tactical/ don't know if that would help and this one http://www.scottcountry.co.uk/watching-ufo-wildlife-and-hunting-with-Yukon-Ranger-Digital-n1031.htm I was just googling the question you asked. Hope it helps

Dear Stan,I just purchased the S10 as a replacement camera and generally love it. However, the lack of an eyelevel viewfinder is a huge drawback. I spent a week in Mexico at the beach and just couldn't for sure see what I was shooting. The good news is that I shot anyway and got some really awesome action shots of sea birds and ocean wildlife. I've learned to view from the side so I don't see a bright reflection of myself in the LCD. I'm sure it does not help that I need reading glasses (the I generally don have on outside) to see close objects so that blurs the LCD too.

I see your post from a few weeks back. Great question. Have you made a purchase yet? I am also seeking a quality camera for indoor sports events without flash.

It's sort of the reverse...Adobe is no longer updating Flash for newer versions of android.

you are spot on with your reply... this is exactly why I am confused...all the features you mentioned are from the new D300. and I love them... however... I still need the advance features on the D80the ability to trigger SB600/800 remotely, bracketing, Mirror-Lock (for extra VR), DOF and some more others.I just wish there is a new upgrade to the D80... D90 maybe!The D300 is too big for me and too advanced and expensive for an amature like me and for a hobby.

I just perchased the H20. I'm use to having a view finder. I thought there may be a way torig some kind of sighting device. The camera already has a means of sighting in. Looking fromthe rear of the camera, there is an elbow formed to the left side of the flash "hump". If youbracket your subject in this elbow it'll pretty much end up dead center of your shot. Hey, it'snot hi-tech but the method works.

No flash. Good phone but camera so so. In sun day good photo, in darkness bad photo.

To the best of my knowledge, Samsung would have to choose to include that in a future patch/update. I'd call customer service and, if nothing else, let them know that it's a feature their customers want. If enough of their customers want it... Power to the People, and stuff. :-)

Thank you. I have the problem of horribly overexposed photos with the flash. On Christmas day about half of the photos were washed out with the flash, in Auto mode. When we turned off the flash, some photos were ok, but others were blurry. I tried other rooms with different lighting, with and without flash, and again the problem of washed out subjects. Any suggestions? thank you.
