'anon's new XL2 camcorder offers an evolutionary design and new professional features - including a choice of 60i, 24p or 30p frame rates, 4:3 or high resolution 16:9 aspect ratio, new 680,000 pixel progressive scan CCDs, and a full line of customizable controls for cine-looking results'
'The new Samsung HMX-H205 top of the line HD camcorder comes with a beefy 32GB of solid state storage for stashing your videos on, as well as an SDHC card slot to bolster that further, but it’s the promise of a new BSI CMOS sensor on the Samsung HMX-H205 that has us excited. '
