Audio Features
The Samsung HMX-R10 has a paltry offering in the audio department. There's a stereo microphone on the bottom of the camcorder, but no headphone or microphone jacks. The R10 doesn't offer a zoom mic or focus feature, but it does allow you a tiny amount of microphone control—the user can set the mic level to high, medium, or low. This is a  miniscule step up from the HMX20, though that model at least carries a mini-microphone input. Lastly, Samsung tacks on a Wind Cut feature, though it won't do you much good in even a gentle breeze, let alone strong winds.
