Samsung announces the world’s first 64GB SSD full HD camcorder




Samsung has just announced the H-series camcorders. Doug and I love Samsung’s camcorders and I think I’m ready to trade my SC-HMX10C for one of these.


The HMX-H106 has the distinction of being the first camcorder equipped with a 64GB SSD. The HMX-H105 packs a 32GB SSD while the HMX-H104 is half that with a 16GB SSD. Bringing up the rear is the HMX-H100, which is sans SSD and requires an SD/SDHC memory card. The switch to SSD is the big thing here.


But they all shoot in full HD and use H.264 video compression. A Schneider lens takes care of the visuals with a 37mm wide-angle focal length. There’s a built-in flash so you can take 4.7-megapixel stills and view them on a 2.7-inch touchscreen LCD. Like the SC-MX20, the H-series features the time lapse mode but in HD. The H106 will be available in April while the others will hit the street in March.

Reviewed by Crunch Gear: Here’s that Samsung YouTube camcorder



In addition to having TVs as far as they eye can see, Samsung has that YouTube camcorder, the SC-MX20, on display at IFA 2008. I understand that PR folks are there to tell you how great everything is, but if Robet Scoble’s producer can come away with the impression that it’s a useful little camera—we all walked the show floor a bit together, yay—, then I’m sure it’s good enough for most of us.


As you already know, the camcorder records video at 720×480, and is able to record in an optimized YouTube mode. Basically, it records at a native YouTube resolution and FPS, so nothing is “lost” when you upload the video. That’s useful for, well, people like us, grabbing quick video clips of odds and ends and then uploading them from the floor of an airport or something.
She uses H.264 compression, and everything is wrapped up in an AVI container. Samsung only wants $280 for this, which is more than reasonable, I think.
