Samsung Korea has announced the launch of VM-HMX20 a progressive HD flash-based camcorder. Packed with a 6.4-megapixel CMOS and electronic image stabilization so even the most action packed scenes come through with clarity. It features a full HD and a1080p mode with 30 fps recording capability. With the unique feature of high speed capture and super slow motion playback, the HMX20 allows consumers to record fast motion at 300 frames per second for up to 10 seconds and then drastically slow down the playback of the recording. Samsung's proprietary swivel hand-grip makes it possible to record in multiple angles, including regular and low-angle shots. It has a 2.7inch LCD which makes on the fly editing a breeze.

The Samsung VM-HMX20 supports Anynet+ connection to HDTVs and other devices which allows consumers to control the camcorder though their HDTV remote while viewing movies. Suggest pricing for the unit is 899,000 KRW ($ 900). No news on when it will make it to the West.
