Samsung Shows Off H-Series HD Camcorders with 64GB SSD


Samsung has just unveiled the new H-series HD camcorders. The new HMX-H106 is the first HD camcorder that has 64GB SSD (Solid State Drive).

The HMX-H105 model comes with a 32GB SSD while the HMX-H104 is half that with a 16GB SSD. All of the new camcorders are full HD capable and use H.264 video compression technology.
There is even a built-in flash so that you can take still photos. You will also find a 2.7 inch touchscreen LCD for easy photo viewing and navigation. At full-HD resolution and when set to fine mode, users can record up to three hours directly to the 16GB HMX-H104, six hours to the 32GB HMX H105, and an unparalleled 12 hours to the 64GB HMX-H106. Producing a high-quality image starts at the lens, which is highly regarded as one of the most important components of a camcorder.
Precision optics are paramount in helping produce inspiring video and Samsungs H-Series camcorders underscore this assessment by incorporating world renowned Schneider optics.
The camcorders Schneider Kreuznach Varioplan HD lens features a 10x optical zoom and is paired with Samsungs new Optical Image Stabilizer to help reduce the blur found in footage as a result of vibrations and hand shake.The Schneider lens also features a 37mm wide-angle focal length. Unlike other camcorders offering a typical angle of view of 40~50mm, the H-Series 37mm wide-angle Schneider lens allows users to fit more of their desired scene into the frame, making the camcorder ideal for recording large groups of family or friends, breathtaking landscapes or even capturing all the action at sporting events.
This new series of high-definition digital camcorders clearly speaks to Samsungs commitment to providing todays consumers with the most advanced and highest performing digital imaging technology, said Tony Sorice, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Digital Imaging at Samsung Electronics America. Our ability to leverage the synergies that exist across our various businesses in the design and manufacture of digital camcorders and cameras, allows us to better meet customer demands and bring higher-performing digital imaging solutions to market faster and more efficiently.
At the heart of Samsungs new H-Series of full-HD digital camcorders is a high performance CMOS imaging sensor. Measuring 1/4.5 inches, the CMOS sensor boasts 2.2 mega-pixels and yields impressive light sensitivity helping enhance the overall imaging experience for the end-user.
The camcorders also feature a HD Time Lapse recording mode that will give consumers the ability to experiment with their creativity. When shooting in the Time Lapse recording mode, the camcorder will record a single image at an interval pre-selected by the user, either 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, or 30 seconds, and will save each image as one single movie file.
