Samsung’s tiny 1080P camcorder

A few weeks ago Samsung announced its SC-HMX20C handheld camcorder that can record in 1080P resolution.  However, we never got around to playing with the gadget because Samsung’s booth was mobbed by drooling fans (heck we can’t blame them).  Fortunately, our redemption is at hand and here is our hands-on video from the PMA convention in Las Vegas.

Panasonic shows off two insanely small camcorders

While the PMA show in Las Vegas is primarily meant for photographers, Panasonic and other companies have taken the opportunity to show off their upcoming camcorders.  At the pre-show DigitalFocus event, Panasonic reps lets us handle two of their smallest camcorders, the water-proof SW20 and the insanely tiny S7.

Look mom, no hands! We play around with the wireless picture transmitting Eye-Fi card.

If you are tired of connecting USB cables or using card readers to transfer photos from your digital camera then Eye-Fi has the perfect solution for you.  The card fits in any SD card slot and has 2 GB of internal memory along with a 802.11 b/g transmitter.  Simply shoot a picture and the file is instantly beamed to your PC or Mac.
