Samsung HMX-U20 Flash Memory Card Camcorder Black

The Samsung HMX-U20 Camcorder (Black) provides you with 1920 x 1080p high definition recording and 10MP still image capture. And whether you're capturing video or still images the U20 records to SD/SDHC memory cards. In addition to recording functions the camcorder also features an ergonomic design that lessens strain - from your wrist all the way to your back. This comfortable 7-degree shape allows for longer shooting and less fatigue.

The U20 has a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor at its heart that's helped along by 3x optical zoom, a 2" LCD display, and HDIS image stabilization. When it comes to sharing on the big screen the camera features a Component output for your HDTV and a Composite output for analog televisions. Animated Thumbnail, Time-Lapse Recording, and Intelli-Studio software all enhance your recording and sharing experience as well. Other important features include HMX-U20's compatibility with Windows and Mac, a built-in USB arm, and one touch upload to social networking sites. 

3x Optical Zoom
The compact and ergonomic Samsung HMX-U20 is equipped with a 3x optical zoom that gets you closer to the action.

Just What You Had In Mind
You see the image you want in your head. You point the HMX-U20 and Smart Auto sees it too. This Smart Auto technology actually chooses from 6 different settings ranging from landscape to portrait automatically, then adjusts for the optimal recording whether it's catching your friends during a night on the town or a waterfall off a mountain. What you get is exactly what you had in mind. Smart auto is applied to both video recording & still image capture.

Capture the Beauty of Full HD
Video recorded in HD resolution can be played back with incredible detail on an HDTV or HD monitor. HD images are saturated with rich, natural color and deep, dramatic detail, making them more enjoyable to shoot and more satisfying to share .

Sharing at the Touch of a Button
With one-touch uploads to YouTube or Facebook, the Samsung HMX-U20 gives you the freedom to share your life more completely than ever before. Simply connect to a PC, choose the file, select the site, and press the direct upload button .

So Much Technology, So Little Space
The HMX-U20 wasn't merely designed to fit in your hand, it was designed to fit in it comfortably. The compact point & shoot type HD camcorder features an ergonomically advanced 7-degree body shape for the perfect grip. The HMX-U20 lets you shoot video without putting awkward stress on your shoulder and arm.

Built-In USB Arm
The Samsung HMX-U20 is made for your mobile lifestyle. With its built-in USB arm it gives you the freedom to enjoy quick, convenient USB data transfer without the inconvenience of ever having to carry an extra cable.

USB Battery Charging
In addition to standard DC adapter charging, the Samsung HMX-U20 can be charged via USB to give you more options on the move. Simply connect it to any USB port and its battery will begin to charge.

High Resolution Photo
The depth of color and detail delivered by the Samsung HMX-U20 gives you digital photos that are of the highest quality, so you can shoot and share still shots that capture the true beauty of the moment.

Record the Passing of Time
The Time-Lapse recording feature is fun and easy to use. By taking still frames at preset intervals and then putting them in sequential order, the Samsung HMX-U20 is able to create a video file that condenses hours of recording, such as sunset or sunrise, into minutes of viewing .

Animated Thumbnail
The Interactive Thumbnail feature allows you to see what is in the file without having to enter full playback mode, making file management and selection more intuitive and enjoyable .

Intelli-Studio
For the modern mobile lifestyle, the Samsung HMX-U20's Intell-Studio software is built-in, giving you the freedom to play, edit and share files on any PC. As soon as the Samsung HMX-U20 is connected to a PC via USB, Intell-Studio runs automatically.
