Samsung has long since been a backer of HDTV, being one of the first few companies to truly embrace the standard. With the
HD-DVD vs. Blu-ray battle out of the way, it appears that
Samsung made the right call with their backing of the Blu-ray standard. Now that the playback issues are mainly sorted out, it’s time to think about how to record our lives in HD quality.
Samsung started off the flash based HD
camcorder race with the original SC-HDX15, originally announced at CES 2006. This flash based camcorder featured HD recording at 720p and 4 GB’s of built in flash storage. Based on the form factor made famous by Samsung’s Extreme Flash Camcorders like the
SC-XL210 and the first generation,
SC-X105L, the SC-HDX15 was hindered by a ridiculous $1799 price tag.
