Samsung Electronics America, Inc., the fastest growing consumer
electronics brand, expands its innovative digital camcorder
line with the new SC-D557 Samsung DVD
camcorder. The compact
camera sets a high standard for convenience and ease-of-use,
enabling consumers to capture their most important moments
as DVD movies that last a lifetime. The SC-D557 DVD Camcorder
will be on display during CES 2005 in the Samsung booth,
#11024 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center
from January 6th - 9th.
The SC-D557 features a robust package of audio and video
capabilities that let users create top-notch DVD home movies.
A 1.3 Megapixel CCD ensures superior video capture quality
and the 12x Optical Zoom lens gives users plenty of shooting
flexibility. Dolby AC3 Audio provides precision sound recording.
Users can map the perfect shot through the color viewfinder,
and the 2.5" LCD screen provides ample space for video playback
and editing.
"With the addition of the SC-D775, our first entry into
the DVD Camcorder market, Samsung now offers consumers a
full suite of camcorder options that includes our compact
Mini-DVs as well as our innovative DuoCam and Sports Cam
models," said Claude Frank, Director of Marketing for the
Digital Audio/Video Products Division of Samsung Electronics
America. "The SC-D557 offers customers DVD video production
capabilities with the quality and value they have come to
expect from Samsung."
Elegant design and a compact size make the SC-D557 the perfect
option for busy families. The camcorder offers DVD-R and
-RW support and produces movies that are compatible with
most DVD players. Users have the choice of recording standard
DVD video or extending their recording time by capturing
footage in MPEG4 format. The SC-D557 supports PC connectivity
via USB 2.0 cable or standard IEEE1394 fire wire. A remote
control allows users to operate the unit from a distance.
The SC-D557 incorporates Samsung's most popular camcorder
options, such as a Multi-language display and smooth GUI
for camera setup and feature navigation, while introducing
some improvements that place it firmly in the "most user-friendly" bracket.
Samsung has replaced the previous 3-bar graphic battery indicator
with an arc style time indicator that allows users to see
exactly how many minutes of playing time and recording time
remain on the battery. An Instant-ON feature brings the device
to ready in less than a second, so no important memories
are lost while waiting for the camera to warm-up. And a versatile
Multi Card Slot allows users to choose the type and size
of flash memory that best suits their needs.
The SC-D557 DVD Camcorder will be available in July 2005
with an MSRP of $799.99.
