Release all your home video on DVD

With your previous digital camcorders, you've always had to deal with a variety of extra steps between actually shooting video footage and watching that footage on your TV. For example, once you'd shot your video, you'd have to transfer the footage from the camcorder's hard drive to your PC from where you could finally transfer it to DVD. Samsung has a better idea: record all your home video to DVD in the first place with the SC-DX205 DVD digital camcorder. Not only do you not have to worry about filling a fixed hard drive capacity, but you're instantly ready to share your latest shots on your TV using your DVD player. And, what's more, the SC-DX205 doesn't shoot just "any old" video footage either. First, an advanced 1/6" CCD image sensor is able to capture up to 680,000 pixels of resolution, while an incredible 34x optical zoom lets you capture footage of distant subjects without sacrificing clarity. Second, the SC-DX205 records MEPG-2 video using H.264 video compression, delivering virtually lossless compression for dramatically improved image fidelity and realism. Finally, a built-in Hyper Digital Image Stabilizer works to reduce the effects of camera shake for sharp, blur-free images, especially when zooming in.

A joy to compose

Take full control of your video-shooting experience with the SC-DX205's combination of an LCD viewscreen and joystick controls. First, the large, 2.7" color LCD viewscreen equips you with a bright, clear view of whatever you're filming — ideal for composing, reviewing, and sharing footage. And because the LCD display rotates up to 270°, you have a clear view even when shooting from various angles or heights. And then . . . offering fast and simple navigation of the camcorder's menus, the SC-DX205 sports a five-way joystick mounted right onto the LCD display's frame. Control all of the SC-DX205's features with just your thumb.

Sidekicks and shutterbugging

The SC-DX205's DVD drive isn't alone in the world of data storage; it's got some serious back up. Diversifying your video-storage options, the SC-DX205 offers media slots for both SD/SDHC and MMC+ memory cards. Use the built-in media slots to supplement your DVD media, or to take advantage of the SC-DX205's still-image capture capability. That's right, the SC-DX205 shoots digital photos, too! But remember, digital photos can only be saved to memory card media.
