Description

Samsung seems to resolve the camcorder kingdom by combining a fine MiniDV video digital camcorder with a 5 megapixel still camera into one compressed device. This is certainly a must-have device for any family to use at home or on trips to another place from home. Still images reach a maximum resolution of 2592x1944 for making talented prints or Internet image files. While videos are stored on approved MiniDV tapes, stills may be stored on your choice of memory card (it accepts MemoryStick - MemoryStick Pro - SD SecureDigital formats). There's also a USB haven to facilitate still image transfer and an IEEE1394 Firewire seaport for rapid video transfer to your home computer (Windows or Macintosh). An 8-footstep camera function key (shutter, iris, manual, auto, tenebrousness scene, custom set, MPEG rec., play, etc.) gives you several options for adjusting the camera's abilities. It's a robust imaging tool that's remarkably easy to use and own. When weighing the choice of getting a camcorder or a digital-camera for you and your one's nearest, Samsung SC-D6550 means you don't have to make any compromises to have both in one compact unit.
