The Samsung HMX-M20SN is a compact, high-definition camcorder designed for both amateur videographers and professionals seeking portability without compromising on quality. This versatile camcorder boasts a sleek design, lightweight body, and a range of features that cater to various recording needs.

One of the standout features of the HMX-M20SN is its capability to record in Full HD at 1080p with a frame rate of 30 frames per second.
