Until recently, if you had a digital camcorder, it took low-quality still images. And, while most digicams can shoot video clips, the quality isn't always that great. Well, finally, a product promises to do both very well! Today we'll review Samsung's DuoCam, a compact camcorder and a decent 5-megapixel digital camera. Let's take some snapshots of this cool camera's features.
In the end, here's what we think:
Pros
- True hybrid device
- 10x optical zoom for camcorder
- Small form factor
Cons
- Video quality looked better outside than inside
- Battery life not as good as other cams
- Image stabilizer not as good
