Still Features
The HMX-H105 will probably fair fine in the still photo department, but its not the true hybrid that Samsung's HMX-R10 is designed to be. Performance is, of course, the ultimate deciding factor, but the HMX-H105 just doesn't offer the array of manual features and resolution options that you'll find on the R10. The two sizes are even less impressive than what was offered on last year's HMX20. The H105 has separate video and still modes—as controlled by a button on the back of the camcorder.

All of the manual image adjustments available to videographers are there for still photography as well. There is a paltry supporting lineup of the 10-second self timer and continuous shot—far fewer options than will be available on Samsung's HMX-R10.
