How cheap can cheap camcorders get?
If you need to spend less than $300 on an HD camcorder, Samsung is among the companies that'll show you the way.

I've been reviewing hardware and software, devising testing methodology and handed out buying advice for what seems like forever; I'm currently absorbed by computers and gaming hardware, but previously spent many years concentrating on cameras. I've also volunteered with a cat rescue for over 15 years doing adoptions, designing marketing materials, managing volunteers and, of course, photographing cats.

LAS VEGAS--Samsung is helping hit a new low price for 1080/60i video.
There isn't much to say about Samsung's minimalist camcorder announcements for CES this year. There's going to be one entry-level model in two flavors: a $349 Wi-Fi-capable one, the QF20, and a bare-bones uncommunicative one, the Q20.
An update to the Q10, with its somewhat gimmicky rotating "switch grip" that's graduated to Switch Grip II, the Q20/QF20 doubles the zoom range to 20x and adds an Art Time Lapse effect.
You'll be able to get these babies in March.
