Wi-Fi connectivity is to technology as bacon is to food -- almost everything's better with it. Fully aware of this, Samsung has announced the 1080i HMX-S16 and HMX-S15 wireless camcorders, which let you quickly upload your footage to the Web, and stream to a DLNA-certified PC or hi-def TV, without faffing around with cables.
With a 10-megapixel CMOS sensor, HDMI port, 15x optical zoom and 89mm (3.5-inch) touchscreen display, the two models shoot H.264-compressed MPEG-4 files and differ only in the amount of storage they offer. The HMX-S16 has 64GB of internal flash memory, while the HMX-S15 offers 32GB. Both models also have an SD/SDHC card slot, so you can boost the storage capacity by 32GB.
Colour us moderately excited, Crave fans. The wireless tech in Samsung's ST1000 compact camera impressed us mightily, so we hope we're in for more of the same with these camcorders.
But, wait -- that's not all! Samsung also announced the HMX-S10, which is the same as the other models except it lacks the wireless support and has no internal memory. These camcorders are set to launch in May or June, for a currently undisclosed price.
