When HD meets SSD . . . high-performance recording
We really don't know where to begin with Samsung's HMX-H106 digital camcorder. You want to capture every detail in high definition clarity? Check. You want a fast, secure, and efficient memory system? Check. Thanks to its combination of high-definition 1080p video recording and Solid State Drive flash memory, the HMX-H106 delivers the performance you require for any shooting situation. Facilitating the capture of stunningly detailed high definition 1920 x 1080 resolution video, the HMX-H106 enlists the aid of a powerful 1/4.5" CMOS sensor and 37mm Schneider lens. Further, by using a Solid State Drive (SSD) flash memory system, the HMX-106 is able to offer a level of performance not attainable with standard hard-disc drives (HDDs). Because flash memory has no moving parts, it is both able to record with greater speed and reliability and to keep your data safer. No moving parts means there's a dramatically reduced risk of damage from minor impacts. SSD memory is even more efficient, consuming only 15% the power used by hard disc drives. However, should you happen to use all of the HMX-H106's 64GB of SSD memory on your next outing, this Samsung camcorder supports SD, SDHC, and MMC memory cards.
Steady, now . . .
Your son or daughter's hockey team has made it to the championship game and there you are, down against the boards right behind the battered and cloudy plexiglass, camcorder in hand. Your kid intercepts a pass just inside the center line and breaks away toward clear ice. Crossing the opponent's blue line, they begin to charm the goalie with some fluid stick work and then . . . well, whether from the excitement of the break away or the creeping cold of the stadium, you're hands begin to shake, and you're no longer recording your kid's MVP play, but a blurry collage of ice and jerseys and skates. Thanks to its optical image stabilization technology, however, Samsung's HMX-H106 digital camcorder lets you write a different ending to this story. Built-in gyrosensors allow the HMX-H106's lens to shift slightly in response to shaky hand movement, giving you the ability to shoot clear, stable video footage, no matter how caught up you are in the moment. In combination with 10x optical and 100x digital zoom, optical image stabilization converts the HMS-H106 into a powerful tool for filming distant subjects.
Double duty
There are no limitations with Samsung's HMX-H106 digital camcorder. For example, you aren't limited to shooting full HD video. That's right, the HMX-H106 doubles as a digital still camera. The next time you're out with friends or on a wilderness adventure, snap a few 4.7-megapixel JPEG photos to pass around while you're playing your HD footage back at home for guests.
Chemistry 101 — your HMX-H106's ionic battery
Because your new Samsung HMX-H106 digital camcorder is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, it brings you more than just incredible power. First, because lithium has the third lightest atomic mass of any element, lithium-ion batteries are some of the lightest batteries available. Second, Lithium-ion batteries have a lower loss-of-charge rate overall in comparison with other battery types and they do not suffer from 'memory loss' or a decline in total energy capacity. The lithium-ion battery featured on your HMX-H106 brings you light-weight, long-lasting and reliable power for your digital photography needs.
Advanced connectivity
Bringing you the absolute best in connectivity, Samsung's HMX-H106 features one mini HDMI connection. HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is the only interface in consumer electronics that can carry both uncompressed high-definition (HD) video and uncompressed multi-channel audio in all HD formats including 720p, 1080i and even 1080p. Your incoming media content comes in a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, and with that in mind, HDMI systems automatically configure to display that content in the most effective format. Since HDMI carries all channels on video and audio, there is only one cable to plug into any HDMI-enabled source and display device. No more complicated cable set-up when installing your home theater system, and no more ugly cable mess behind your components. HDMI supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel digital audio on this single cable. Also, HDMI is fully backward-compatible with DVI. (Please note that a physical adapter, sold separately, is needed to make the conversion from HDMI to DVI.)
