On the lookout for a new hi-def camcorder? Then you might want to take a look at Samsung’s latest release, dubbed the SC-HMX20 Full HD camcorder. It’s got a 6.4-megapixel CMOS sensor, 10x zoom and also functions as an 8-megapixel still camera, capable of capturing photos in super slow motion at 300 frames per second. As it belongs to Samsung’s HMX20 line, you can expect it to be of top-notch quality.

The Samsung Full HD camcorder also features a 2.7-inch touchscreen LCD so you can easily navigate through the menus and photos, and it accepts SDHC cards through a built-in card slot in addition to the 8GB of internal memory. Just 2.4 seconds is all it takes to activate the camera, and battery life is improved thanks to the use of flash memory. The package will include a cradle with a built-in charging port, USB and of course a TV-out cable so you can view all your photos and videos in high definition glory. It’s a little bit on the heavy side, at 456 grams, but rest assured that the Samsung Full HD camcorder is well worth its weight.

The price? Just 899,000 South Korean Won or about $850 USD for you, my dear.
