Samsung Electronics America, Inc., which pioneered true digital
imaging convergence with the award-winning Samsung DuoCam
family of integrated digital camcorders/still cameras, is
making a great idea smaller than ever with the introduction
of the ultra-compact SC-D6550 DuoCam digital camcorder. The
palm-sized SC-D6550 features Samsung's groundbreaking dual-lens
system, which can switch modes effortlessly to produce sharp-as-life
digital video or high-resolution still images. Samsung's
newest DuoCam will be on display throughout CES 2005 in the
Samsung booth, #11024 in the Central Hall of the Las Vegas
Convention Center from January 6th - 9th.
Samsung's DuoCam successfully merges both still and video
functions to offer consumers a complete digital imaging package.
The latest DuoCam SC-D6550 from Samsung upholds a tradition
of video excellence with a 680K CCD lens and 10x Optical
Zoom/ 900x Digital Zoom that delivers hi-res video images
with vibrant color resolution and detail. For still photography,
the five Mega Pixel CCD still lens delivers 2592 x 1944 pixel
image resolution, enabling consumers to create large size
prints with maximum picture sharpness and color accuracy.
"The new 3rd generation Samsung digital DuoCam reflects
Samsung's continuing commitment to providing innovative solutions
to meet consumer's needs," said Claude Frank, Director of
Digital Audio/Video Products, Samsung Electronics America. "Consumers
no longer have to choose between top quality stills and superior
digital video - they can now get both with one easy-to-use,
palm-sized device."
In fact, the 3rd generation of Samsung's DuoCam represents
a 40% reduction in size from its predecessor. Designed with
an ergonomic hand-grip, the SC-D6550 is the ultimate in portable
imaging versatility and convenience.
In addition to producing top-notch video and stills, the
DuoCam is packed with all the features consumers expect from
a digital camera. The Instant ON feature means the camera
is ready to go less than a second after the power button
is pressed, while a new battery indicator displays the actual
playing time and recording time left. Images and video can
be played back on the built-in color LCD screen, and a playback
zoom feature allows viewers to focus on a small section of
an image.
A host of options ensures the highest quality image capture
and display. Slow Shutter and Nite Pix options allow users
to compensate for poor lighting conditions. Digital Image
Stabilizer and a built-in flash keep stills and video bright
and sharp. Program AE (auto-exposure) modes provide built-in
recording optimization, automatically selecting the best
combination of aperture and shutter speed for superior results.
The DuoCam also offers top-of-the-line digital device compatibility.
The built-in Multi-Card Slot allows consumers to store and
transfer their files using Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro,
Secure Digital Cards or Multi-Media Cards. The high-performance
PC interface surpasses traditional camcorders with USB 2.0
compatibility that provides quick, smooth data transfers
to PC hard drives. And Samsung's PictBridgeä printing
protocol allows users to connect the camera directly to a
compatible printer via a standard USB cable.
The SC-6550 Compact DuoCam digital camcorder will be available
in May 2005 with an MSRP of $799.99.
