jtval 0 #1 April 7, 2005 ok I saw the thread where ppl were talking about the new samsung camera. pro's and cons etc. but I didnt notice anyone saying that it is a best buy/samsung ad. had Parachutist had its first OUTSIDE the industry company advertise in our magazine? that may be a a good thing as far as the money that will come into the USPA but Im afriad we'll end up like MAXIM. ( you know, they have more ads then articles) I dont think Ill be buying the camera anytime soon but its kinda cool to see some outside interest in taking our money!

blackdog 0 #2 April 7, 2005 the first main CON is that no one has the camera even Samsung. Has anyone been able to ACTUALLY see it? I work in a related industry and am trying like hell to get a demo model from my studio. I have emailed Samsung as well; no love so far. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amanduh 0 #5 April 7, 2005 Isn't this it (Looks like it to me...just doesn't have the headband mount thingy in the picture..that is probably an extra) http://product.samsung.com/cgi-bin/nabc/product/b2c_product_detail.jsp?eUser=&prod_id=SC-X105L%2fXAA Says it's available soon.

Laurel 0 #6 April 7, 2005 JVC has a camera that is one part (unlike Samsung's 2-part camera) and works off a memory card, too, but it isn't flash so it isn't suitable for jumping. (not enough memory and a moving part that may cause your filming to skip). As soon as flash cards with that large of memory capacity come down in price, you will see all cameras going towards flash cards.

Paige 0 #7 April 7, 2005 They did have a first real advert until they fucked up the date on the cover. I wouldn't pay any comapny for ad space if they screwed up that bad.

haniel32 0 #10 April 7, 2005 Just looking around for prices on this camcorder and stumbled onto this. http://www.cnet.com/4520-10602_1-5618778-1.html Face first landing YET again! "I thought I flared" Grass tastes great!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanduh 0 #11 April 7, 2005 The product: It's time to take digital video to the extreme! Well, sort of. The Samsung SC-X105L's sports camera module allows you to hook it to your helmet or harness for hands-free recording, giving it instant cachet among extreme sports enthusiasts who long for an unobtrusive way to capture their gallivanting and roughhousing. With its water-resistant, rubberized body and tapeless recording system, this camcorder looks like it can take a pounding. Its vital statistics include: 680,000-pixel CCD for capturing MPEG-4 video 10X optical zoom 2-inch LCD screen Electronic image stabilizer Still image capture at 640x480, 800x600 Water-resistant, rubberized design Sports camera module for hands-free shooting 512MB of internal memory, plus Memory Stick slot The price: Can you put a price on being totally extreme? Yes. When the SC-X105L ships in April, it will cost $649. The prospects: Somebody who'll pay $3,000 to jump out of an airplane won't bat an eye at this camera's sticker price, but for the rest of us, $650 looks like an awful lot for a camcorder whose recording capacity will be limited by its tapeless design. The SC-X105L's still-image-capture resolutions also look paltry; they'll be suitable for e-mail and for posting to the Web but not for printing. But if you're into the sort of filming that requires resistance to water, this may be the camcorder for you. LOOKS LIKE APRIL!!!!! I WANT ONE I WANT ONE!

Thunderbow 1 #14 April 9, 2005 I downloaded the users manual at the Samsung site. It comes with the extra lense even though it may not show it on some sites that are reviewing it. It sure looks like it would be fun to play with. I think I could come up with a mount on one side of my Havok where the audible goes. Amazon is showing it at $599 and says it will be available in 7 days.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Lord, let me be the person my dog thinks I am.
