The multinational corporation Canon Inc. headquartered in Tokyo, Japan, is a leading manufacturer of imaging and optical products such as cameras, camcorders, photocopiers, steppers and computer printers. The benchmark of quality in their products is set quite high by the market leader. Canon products are high on style and performance and are examples of innovative creations. With each new product, Canon creates a new standard which are religiously followed by their competitors for future creations.
One such product is the Canon Legria FS19 which is an SD camcorder. It has a dual flash memory and an internal memory of 8 GB that provides a whole lot of space for storing your memorable moments. Optical zoom is the most essential factor in a camcorder since when you move the lens the optical zoom magnifies and maintains an incredible image quality. Fortunately the Canon Legria FS19 comes with 37 times magnification that delivers amazing image results and puts it above many rival camcorders. The 2.7 inches LCD screen provides sufficient view of the object while recording or photographing and getting an immediate playback of the latest recording. The digital zoom of the latest Canon creation is the 1800 times that takes you more close to the subject. The minimum light level required by the SD camcorder is 1.5 lux.
The CCD Image sensor provided in the camcorder helps in getting perfect images with detailed capturing. The integrated microphone captures sounds with the utmost clarity. With the help of the Dolby Digital 2ch (AC-3 2ch), the recorded movies are played with amazing sound effects.
To its long list of impressive camcorders Samsung Electronics has recently added another remarkable product Samsung SMX-C10. The first thing that strikes about this compact digital camcorder is its sleek design and cool looks, thanks to Samsung’s Touch of Color™ finish, but there is lot more to it that make its worth a shot.
Samsung SMX-C10 is a perfect companion for the people who really want to capture their lives to convert them into memories forever. The Samsung camcorder offers an impressive f/1.8-2.4 10x zoom lens, which allows you to record distant views in a better way, thus making the ground distance irrelevant. One of the common issues with taking long distance shots is that a slight movement of camcorder spoils the whole video. To account for that Samsung has provided Hyper Image Stabilisation feature which works towards eliminating blurry images and frames.
To make it more user friendly it features a 230,000 dot swivelling LCD screen which due to its 2.7 inch size gives a better view of what is being captured and allows it to be captured from any position and every angle.
Moreover, to make sure you can watch the movies and images captured by Samsung SMX-C10 camcorder on your laptop or PC without hassles Samsung has provided it with intelli-studio. The built-in program is a kind of play-edit-sharing application which ensures that a simple connection through USB is good enough to allow the user to edit or play the videos. It rids the user of the need to install some supporting software or anything. Though the camcorder is good, yet the Samsung SMX-C10 does lack in some desirable features. It doesn’t feature any internal memory and you’ll have to use SD/SDHC media to store whatever you plan to record. This really is a significant drawback except that in any case for sufficient storage space you always end up using the SD/SDHC media. Overall, Samsung SMX-C10 is a gadget that can be bought.
The pocket-sized Flip camcorder has already been making waves in the camcorder market for its extra compact size and high quality recording capabilities. Of course, few expected Flip’s dominance to go unchallenged, and perhaps the most serious threat to the company’s popular Flip Ultra and Mino HD camcorders has arrived in the form of the Kodak Zi8 HD.
The tiny Kodak Zi8 HD can be accommodated in your pocket, shoots HD quality videos, is quite inexpensive, and uses SD memory cards for storage. In fact, the new camcorder models takes the already well-received Kodak Zi6 HD camcorder, and improves upon it with more features, an improved design, improved recording resolution, and a sharper screen. But, most people are wondering, how does it stack up head to head with its ever so popular Flip Ultra HD rival? As already mentioned, it essentially matches the Flip in terms of price and video resolution, though it’s not quite as pocket-able; however, this Kodak HD camcorder clearly has the Flip model beat with its extra impressive image stabilization. The Flip Ultra HD completely lacks any image stabilization whatsoever, whereas the Zi8’s image stabilization is not only present, but also remarkably effective.
Though each handheld HD camcorder has their respective strengths and weakness, the Kodak Zi8 has clearly established itself as one of the most formidable players in the market and as a great option for anyone looking for convenient, easy and cheap HD recording.
