Editors' Comments
The
H205 sits in the middle of Samsung's mid-range HD camcorder lineup for
2010.
It's the exact same camera as its brothers, the H200 and H205, just in a 16GB configuration. The current spec
sheet indicates that it's
only capable of recording 1080i at 60fps; we'd really like to see 1080p
at 30 or even 24fps, and Samsung's website indicates that specs are
subject to change before launch--we shall see. Also of note is an HD time lapse mode
in 720p, which we'd like to know more about. As it stands now, there
are better deals available among last year's models than the H204, but
that might change when the final pricing is announced.
