It might seem weird to come out with a standard-definition (SD) camcorder, but that one is no ordinary camcorder: while most have a 10X optical zoom, Samsung has managed to put a 34X optical zoom in the MX20 (we mentioned that camcorder when Samsung showed its new Camcorder platform). We have not seen what it can do in the real world, but that is impressive on paper. whether you are mainly creating web videos, trading HD resolution for optical zoom might not be so poor, although one has to wonder why

Samsung could not integrate both – let me guess: cost.

Highlights

• SD card storage (up to 32GB)
• 3 hrs of battery life
• Face recognition
• Youtube and iPod friendly presets
• Launches in September in Japan
