Samsung SMX-C200 Allows Consumers to Shoot and Share in Style

Samsung Electronics Philippines Co. (SEPCO), has announced their new, stylish and ergonomically-designed compact digital camcorder which comes fully equipped with an array of useful features. This is the new SMX-C200, and it utilizes Samsung’s built-in 25 degree Active Angle Lens. Samsung’s innovative Active Angle Lens allows consumers to hold the camera more naturally, and has earned Samsung design awards and accolades from all over the world.

Record in Style and Comfort
The new SMX-C200 adds a level of style and beauty to shooting home videos. It offers Samsung’s signature ToC design, which features a hint of color that is naturally blended into the deep black body of the camcorders to create an attractive crystalline appearance. To make shooting home videos more comfortable, the SMX-C200 boasts Samsung’s Active Angle Lens design. Unlike traditional camcorders that force users to hold their arm up at a 90-degree angle while recording video, the Active Angle Lens design, exclusive to Samsung, allows users to hold the camcorder in a more relaxed and natural position due to the fact that the lens is angled downward by 25 degrees. This more natural recording position reduces the overall stress on the wrist and elbow and also removes the LCD screen from the user’s line of sight, enabling them to always keep an eye on their subject while recording.

Record High-Quality Video & Digital Still Images
Whether it’s documenting an unforgettable vacation or simply capturing the day to day antics of family and friends, Samsung’s new SMX-C200 provides the perfect solution. The camera offers remarkable standard definition video recording at a resolution of 720×480 pixels. In addition, it offers the ability to quickly and easily capture still images at a resolution of 2.0 mega pixels.

SMX-C200 utilizes H.264 compression, which allows you to record longer than camcorders using the typical MPEG2 format. The new Samsung SMX-C200 comes with impressive 10x optical zooms, paired with Hyper Image Stabilization. Ideal for recording events from a great distance, the camcorders’ impressive optical zoom allow you to get in close to the action no matter how far away you may be. Access to such a powerful optical zoom can come in handy for any number of scenarios, ranging from recording your child’s soccer game from the sidelines, to the sights and sounds of a trip to the city. Additionally, Samsung’s Hyper Image Stabilization gives you the ability to capture clear and stable video as it prevents dizzying footages or blurring due to shaky hands while recording.

Smart Features for Editing and Sharing
The SMX-C200 comes equipped with Samsung’s play-edit-sharing program called Intelli studio. The built-in Intelli-studio software gives users the ability to connect the camcorder to any computer via USB to edit and play your video without having to install supporting software. The built-in Intelli-studio software also helps simplify the way users upload and share their footage using today’s popular video sharing Web sites. For added convenience, a one-touch “upload” button, available directly on the camcorders, provides a direct connection to YouTube™, taking the hassle and confusion out of uploading footage. In addition, the SMX C200 also provides options for basic on-camera editing, including the ability to merge and split video files. This can be done directly on the camcorders using their 230K-pixel, swiveling 2.7-inch wide LCD screens.
Samsung also enhances the video recording experience for end-users thanks to several unique features, including time-lapse recording, animated thumbnails and its versatile charging system. Time-lapse recording allows users to program the camcorder to record at a pre-set interval of one image every one, three, five, 10, 15 or 30 seconds. Time-lapse recording is especially useful for condensing extremely long events, such as rolling clouds on a sunny day, into a short, easy to-view video.

Samsung’s animated thumbnail feature simplifies the way users search for video clips on the SMX-C200. Each video clip saved on the camcorder is represented by a small thumbnail on the LCD screen. When scrolling through one’s videos, each thumbnail will provide a short playback of the video file when highlighted by the user allowing them to quickly preview each clip without having to view the entire shot. The camcorders also feature a versatile charging system. Users can either recharge the battery by connecting the camcorder to the supplied AC adapter or via USB while the camcorder is connected to a computer.
