Six Samsung Digital Camcorders Unveiled: 64GB Internal SSD Makes Debut


The Computershopper.com posted some Samsung's digital camcorders as below.

This year's CES is seeing the usual high volume of digital imaging announcements.
Samsung's lineup for the first half of 2009 includes a hearty six new digital camcorders. An H-series lineup (HMX-100, *104, *105, and *106 - shown below) due out in the first four months of 2009, the SMX-F34 which should be seeing store shelves this spring, and finally the HMX-R10 which is expected this summer.



The HMX-100 is the baseline "H-series" model. It is the only model to not offer an integrated SSD, using only SD/SDHC cards instead. The other three models offer progressively larger SSDs in addition to SD/SDHC support. The H104 carries a 16GB SSD, the H105 a 32GB SSD, and the H106 a massive 64GB SSD, which is an industry first as of the company's announcement, though it's only a matter of time before we see 64GB SSDs in other models from any number of different manufacturers of course.


The H-series camcorders all feature a 1.4.5” 2.2M pixel CMOS, !-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } -->Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan HD lens, 2.7-inch touch panel LCD, Optical Image Stabilization, Full HD (1920x1080/60i) 16:9 resolution (as well as 1280x720/60P and 720x480/60P), H.264 compression, HD time lapse recording, HDMI/component/composite output, a strobe flash, and a remote control. All models but the H106 should be out in March. If you want the top of the line with 64GB SSD it will be available in April.




While the HMX-R10 will be a bit of a wait, Samsung hopes to capture the interest of hobbyists with the all-in-one capabilities of the camera. Not only does the ergonomic unit film in Full HD, it also has the ability to shoot clear 9 Megapixel still images. The camcorder features a 1/2.33” 9 Mega-Pixel CMO, 5x Optical zoom, 2.7-inch LCD Touch Screen, support for SD/SDHC memory, and HDMI/component/composite outputs.


Finally, the SMX-F34 is specifically designed for
YouTube filmographers. With the SC-MX20 as an example to live up to, the F34 offers tons of great features such as a 3 hour battery life, Advanced Image Stabilization, 720x480 resolution filming, 34x Optical Zoom, 16GB of internal flash memory and SD/SDHC memory support, and the ability to shoot 800x600 stills. Spring should be a good time for amateur filmmakers to grab a new camera that is perfectly tuned for web video content creation.
