Samsung's new camcorder offers slow-motion video

Samsung has launched their newest high-def camcorder that takes high-resolution pictures and shoots slow-motion at 300 frames per second. In January the company already showcased the prototype of the released HMX20 and delivers 1080p full HD and 8-megapixel images. A nice feature is that it can take pictures while recording video.

The most important feature is the slow-motion shooting mode that tapes video at 300fps. Normally video is recorded at 30fps and becomes jumpy when slowed down. At 300 frames per second you don't have this problem and get a home made 'hollywood production'. All your content is saved on 8GB flash memory and can be extended with an SD or MMC memory card.

For now only the Koreans can enjoy the camera and will have to pay $857.

@ 300fps on an 8GB card even in 720P that's not gonna give you much footage. Mind you it only needs to be very short scenes anyhow I guess.
wont' be long before this becomes the Homer Simpson "star wipe" effect and everyone will be sick of it.

How many times will people really use THAT feature?
Can't wait to film me and the missus at 300fps. That's why that feature was invented, right?

Either you are very fast or very small (hamster). There will be zoom shots right?
I drink a lot of Red Bull, so I'm very fast in bed. Not Superman fast, but still pretty fast.

:p
