Samsung Debuts Two New Ergonomic Camcorders

Samsung Debuts Two New Ergonomic Camcorders

Samsung has brought the "Touch of Color" (ToC) design motif from its flat-screen HDTVs to its camcorder line, with its new "ergonomic" SMX-C14 and SMX-C10. The new camcorders feature 10× optical zoom, hyper image stabilization, a swivel-out 2.7-inch LCD display, and Samsung’s Active Angle lens. The camcorder is also designed to be held in a more relaxed manner that reduced stress on a user’s wrist and elbow while keeping the LCD screen out of the user’s direct line of sight, making it easier to keep an eye on a subject.

"The SMX-C14 and SMX-C10 are truly unique camcorders, starting with their eye-catching ToC design," said Samsung Electronics America’s senior VP of a/v and digital imaging marketing Reid Sullivan, in a statement. "In addition to being ultra-compact, ergonomic, and stylish, these camcorders offer a host of advanced, yet easy-to-use capabilities that encourage consumers to integrate video recording into their everyday digital lifestyles."

Although Samsung hasn’t published full specs for the new camcorder, but the C10 will record directly to SD/SDHC media, while the C14 will boast 16GB of internal memory in addition to an SD/SDHC card slot. Both cameras will also feature time-lapse recording and animated video thumbnails, along with a charging system that will enable users to recharge the batter via an adapter or USB. The units will also both feature Samsung’s intelli-studio editing feature: users will be able to connect the camcorders to a PC or notebook using USB, and edit or play their video without any additional software. Each camcorder will also feature a one-touch upload button for pushing video directly to YouTube.

Samsung expects the camcorders will be available from retailers in July; no pricing has been announced.

I went hands-on with Samsung’s two best new QLED TVs, and one of them stunned me
Samsung N900C 8K Neo QLED

I recently flew to New Jersey to go hands-on with Samsung’s top three 2023 TVs. I measured. I viewed. In the end, one of them floored me.

During my one-day visit, I was able to get hands-on with the 65-inch Samsung QN95C Neo QLED, a 75-inch Samsung QN900C 8K Neo QLED, and the much anticipated 77-inch Samsung S95C OLED — aka QD-OLED TV.

Samsung debuts Premiere 8K UST projector at CES 2023 with images up to 150 inches
Samsung Premiere UST Projector.

Samsung might not be the first company to produce an ultra short throw (UST) projector that can display a native 8K resolution image, but it claims that its new Premiere 8K is the first of its kind to display that image at a size of 150 diagonal inches. The company revealed the Premiere 8K at CES 2023 but did not immediately provide pricing or announce the projector's availability.

Until now, 8K UST projectors have been limited to image sizes of 120 inches. And while 120 inches is pretty big, especially when compared to existing 8K TVs, it's hard to argue that bigger isn't better, so now buyers can fill even more of their home theaters with 8K goodness.

Samsung shows off the first two 77-inch QD-OLED 4K TVs at CES 2023
Samsung S95C QD-OLED 4K TV.

Samsung was the first company to show off a 4K TV based on QD-OLED technology at CES 2022, and now, at CES 2023 it has unveiled two new QD-OLED models -- the S95C Samsung OLED and S90C Samsung OLED -- and each will be available as 77-inch models. Both will also be offered in 55- and 65-inch sizes.  The news came one day after Samsung Display confirmed it would show its next-gen "QD-OLED 2023" panel at the show in a 77-inch size.

When QD-OLED-based TVs debuted in 2022, Samsung and Sony revealed the first two 4K TVs models within hours of each other: the Samsung S95B and the Sony A95K. Both TVs proved to be absolutely stunning in terms of picture quality, leaving our reviewer no choice but to award them a rare 10/10 rating. But the TVs themselves weren't especially large; only 55- and 65-inch sizes were introduced.
