Remember those huge VHS camcorders in the early 90's that you would rest on your shoulder? Well, technology has come a long way since then and now you can take much higher resolution videos on camcorders that fit in your pocket. Heck, even cell phones can record videos, but for those who want the ability to capture several hours of high quality video, something other than a phone might be in order.

Geeks.com offers a variety of digital camcorders, and they have sent over one of their more popular units for us to check out. The unit we are reviewing today is the Samsung SC-MX20EL digital camcorder which records at resolutions up to 720x480 and takes the weight off your shoulders โ€" weighing in at less than one pound.
