Description:

Hi8 may have been overlooked as of late because of the digital revolution, but it is still tops in the analog world and provides outstanding performance and value for price-conscious buyers. Samsung's SCL770 packs a punch with its 2.5-inch LCD screen, 22x optical zoom, 10 digital special effects, picture-in-picture, and video light. Most unique is the worldwide AC adapter and multisystem output, which means you can charge your battery at any power outlet and playback your video on either NTSC or PAL systems.

Lens
The optical zoom magnifies up to 22 times, while the digital zoom, which works by electronically enhancing the optical image, reaches up to 880 times. The zoom toggle is pressure sensitive so you can control the speed of your zooms. The SCL770 has video effects that you can apply to your video, like sepia, black and white, negative, mirror, art, mosaic, wide, and 16:9 cinema.

Digital Stills
When set to the snapshot mode, a still image is captured and recorded onto the tape for six seconds. You can transfer these photos to a PC with the USB interface. Also included is MGI's PhotoSuite so you can easily edit your photos and share them with others over the Internet.

Inputs and Outputs
The standard RCA input-output and cable is included so you can hook the camcorder to a TV for convenient viewing or a VCR for dubbing to regular VHS. The USB connection can be used for transferring your video onto your PC for movie editing or allowing the SLC770 to work as a PC camera.
