Samsung HMX-Q10 Camcorder with Switch Grip

[CES 2011] The HMX-Q10 is a mid-range Full HD camcorder featuring a 5 MP BSI CMOS sensor delivering improved low-light performance, and a  Schneider-Kreuznach Varioplan-HD F1.8 10x optical zoom lens with OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). Aside the regular specifications one would expect from a camcorder, the unique feature of the device is the Switch Grip technology with Easy Operation: the G-magnetic sensor integrated in the HMX-Q10 recognizes the angle and turn the LCD display accordingly for ease of use, allowing users to shoot video in difficult positions. Easy Operation means that all controls are accessible from the 2.7″ touch screen. The Samsung HMX-Q10 records video in 1920×1080/60i full HD and captures 4.9MP still photos, it will be available in February 2011 for $299.
