DuoCam marries the best in digital photography and video-recording technologies for no-compromise pictures or films

Dubai, October 03, 2004: Samsung Electronics today reiterated its leadership in digital convergence innovation with the launch of its second-generation DuoCam VP-D6050i. The latest DUO-camcorder combines the best technology from DSC (digital still photography) and Mini-DV (digital video) to create no-compromise images and record high-quality digital video.

The new DuoCam VP-D6050i improves on the swivel lens design by incorporating dedicated DV and DSC lenses in one body. The new design offers a more compact package, similar in size to other Mini DV camcorders, but packs all the features consumers have come to expect from individual DV camcorders and DSCs.

"The DuoCam VP-D6050i is a testimony of Samsung's commitment to develop convergence products that are technologically advanced, easy to use, and bundled with great value," said Mr. Ashraf Sajid, Marketing Manager, Samsung Gulf Electronics. "The DuoCam VP -D6050i is unsurpassed in the market for its ability to combine the highest quality video in any lighting conditions, with sharp, clear, high-resolution still photography. It's the perfect solution for consumers who want to spend their time enjoying the moment, not fumbling with a camera while trying to capture it."

With the DuoCam VP-D6050i consumers can switch between a 5.25 megapixel DSC and a DV Camcorder at the push of a button - for no-compromise images that can be saved on a variety of flash memory cards or record high-quality digital video on standard Mini-DV tapes. The VP-D6050i's 800,000 pixel CCD and lens system deliver high-quality video and a 10x optical zoom for precision control over what is being filmed. It also utilizes Samsung's Power Night Capture technology for filming low-light video.

For truly brilliant digital still pictures, the DuoCam VP-D6050i features a 5.25 mega pixel CCD (2592x1944 resolution), 3X optical/12X digital zoom, and a built-in pop-up flash. Furthermore, the DuoCam also supports use of Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, Secure Digital Cards and Multi Media Cards, putting consumers first by allowing them to choose the flash they prefer.
