Samsung's SCW62 is a perfect package for the person looking for a quality video format, but isn't ready to go digital. Sporting a 22x optical zoom lens, the Hi8 camcorder also features backlight compensation to prevent those nasty, dark silhouettes common in outdoor settings.
Unusually, this camcorder also features the ability to output PAL video, which is quite unusual for any video camera. This unique feature makes the SCW62 ideal if you spend time traveling between Europe and the United States.
The guts of the SCW62 include a six-mode autoexposure for shooting in just about any situation. Additionally, you also get eight built-in digital effects for adding a little flair to your movie. With the 0.3-lux minimum illumination you'll be able to shoot in a number of low-light conditions without losing video quality, and there's a built-in video light, just in case. Included in the package are a lithium-ion battery, AC adapter, AC cord, A/V cable, shoulder strap, and lithium clock battery.
