Samsung's new SMX-C10 compact camcorder makes it easier than ever to record and upload videos to the internet and share them with your friends.
Besides being super-compact and lightweight, the SMX-C10 comes with a number of built-in features optimised for online video. It uses the H.264 compression format - the standard for YouTube - which helps pack more recordings into smaller files, making it easier to upload but without losing the quality.
For processing your video recordings, the SMX-C10 comes loaded with Samsung's play-edit-sharing program, intelli-studio. You plug the SMX-C10 into a PC and the applications load from the camcorder, not from the PC, letting you edit your recordings directly on the device. You can also merge and split up video files.
Once you have fixed up your video, there's a pre-installed, one-button upload to YouTube.
Unfortunately the SMX-C10 isn't high-definition, although the maximum resolution of 720 x 576 pixels should be good enough for most online sites.
The hardware configurations are a 0.8 megapixel sensor, a 10x optical zoom lens (with a sensitive aperture starting at F1.8), and a 2.7-inch swivel display. The SMX-C10 doesn't come with any memory and works on SD/SDHC cards.
