Samsung's two-headed monster camcorder
January 6, 2005; 2:21 p.m.
 The product: Itching for some double-barreled photography? Samsung's SC-D6550 offers separate, dedicated lenses for digital video and digital stills, with a 680,000-pixel CCD backing up the 10X optical zoom on the former and a 5-megapixel CCD grabbing images from the 3X optical zoom on the latter. As the third generation of Samsung's DuoCam line, it offers a smaller, less clunky design than its predecessors. The spec rundown:
The prospects: We've seen enough combo device failures to appreciate Samsung's admission that video and still photography require different sorts of lenses to work well. The dual-lens design also adds a bit to this camera's wow factor; if the SC-D6550 can overcome the image quality issues of previous models, it may become the all-in-one solution that many amateur photographers crave.
