State-of the-art and the best of the breed SMX F34 offers some wonderful additional functionality and features that customer would find irresistible. They come integrated memory, digital still photo capability, and Samsung’s 42x Intelli-Zoom.

Boasting of the SMX F34, the company claims that its latest image processor is capable of reducing power consumption, hence, longer life for battery, which allows consumers to record up to three hours at a stretch of uninterrupted video. Samsung is first to apply H.264 compression to standard definition video enabling its users to record up to eight hours of standard definition video directly to the camcorder’s internal flash memory.

As its reviews, the SMX F34 camcorder also boasts of leaving a standard digital zoom way behind in reliability quotient.

Boasting of the camcorder’s user friendly attribute Tony Sorice, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Digital Imaging at Samsung Electronics America, was quoted as saying, “This is a camcorder that anyone can pick up and use without feeling intimidated, and which offers a full suite of features that would typically demand a higher price tag. Without breaking the bank, Samsung gives consumers the ability to leverage high-performance optics and imaging technologies that will enhance their overall digital imaging experience and encourage them to explore digital video for all that it has to offer.”

The SMX-F34 is expected to be made available in spring 2009, but there is no info as to its pricing.
