Shoot videos for posterity — or posting online

From birthday parties to YouTube™ antics, camcorders let you capture moments you can share with friends and family, or the world at large. Most newer camcorders save your videos to built-in digital memory or a removable memory card. Some models come with a built-in hard disk drive that gives you much more storage. For maximum portability, check out our smaller cams that fit into a pocket or purse. For high-def videos that look awesome on your HDTV, go for a slightly larger model with a better lens and image sensor.

Our take on the Samsung QF30

by Woody Sherman

Live and local

Your company's about to make a major announcement — but two-thirds of the top brass are away at a conference. Your public relations director would love for them to be able to see it as it happens. Can you help?

Turns out, you can. It seems your Samsung QF30 HD camcorder is good for more than just birthday parties and family gatherings. With a little help from USTREAM'S webcasting site (a basic account is free), this camcorder's live streaming mode will put your press event online in short order. The CEO is happy, the Communications Director is happy, and that's probably going to trickle down to you being happy. All because you had a feeling about the right camcorder for you.

It was born smart

Samsung calls the QF30 a "smart camcorder," and sets out to prove it with features like Wi-Fi® assisted streaming to your compartible smartphone. Check in on the baby's nap — or make sure your new puppy's behaving while you visit the neighbors. Auto-backup transfers your captured video to your PC or Mac, without wires, and without any fuss after initial setup. You'll rest easy knowing there's another copy of that once-in-a-lifetime shot living on your computer's drive. Plus, you can link directly to online social and image sharing communities like Facebook, YouTube™ and Picasa™.

Samsung QF30 camcorder

The Samsung QF30 camcorder is designed to help out left-handers and right-handers alike

Left-handed compliment

Over ten percent of the world is left-handed, so it's about time someone invented a camcorder that can be rotated at 180 degrees to accommodate this unjustly ignored segment of the population. The "switch-grip II" feature senses the change in the camcorder's orientation and flips the picture upside down, so everything's just as it was for the right hander in your family. Not only that, the Samsung QF30 shoots in portrait mode as well, and locks in place at the 90 degree mark as well, so you can take pictures of scenes that have dynamic action along a vertical axis.

Creative director

A powerful 20X zoom lens will get you up close to the action as your granddaughter gets face to face with a curious giraffe. Optical image stabilization makes sure those tight shots won't bounce or shake. And sophisticated time lapse and Art Film modes set your imagination free to explore your new-found creative impulses.
