The SMX-F34
The SMX-F34 is Samsung’s next generation YouTube™ compatible compact digital camcorder. Building on the success of the well received SC‑MX20, the SMX-F34 offers users battery life of up to three hours, world‑class Schneider optics, as well as added features and functionality including built-in memory, digital still photo capability, and Samsung’s 42x Intelli-Zoom. Significantly more reliable than a standard digital zoom which reduces the quality of an image, Samsung’s new Intelli-Zoom allows users to go beyond the camcorder’s 34x optical zoom without sacrificing image quality.
The SMX-F34 features a memory card slot for SD/SDHC and 16GB of internal flash memory. Thanks to H.264 compression, users can record up to eight hours of standard definition video when using the 16GB built-in memory.
The SMX-F34 offers a high-performance CCD sensor that delivers a resolution of 720x480, and features a Web & Mobile shooting mode that allows users to record in the exact format and resolution required by YouTube™, resulting in faster upload times to the Web when sharing video with friends and family online. An additional feature that separates the SMX-F34 from its SC-MX20 sibling is its ability to capture digital still photos. A dedicated Photo mode allows consumers to use the SMX-F34 camcorder as a digital camera, snapping 800x600 resolution images.
