DXG have announced the immediate availability of their new DXG-569V HD Ultra Compact Camcorder which, apart from offering video capture at resolutions up to 1280 x 720 at a fluid 30fps also sports a 5 megapixel CMOS sensor allowing still imagery capture at resolutions up to 8MP - and all for a startlingly low price point of a mere $170.
Coming in either black or silver, and featuring the same pistol grip style design as seen on the previously featured Sanyo Xacti E1 and Xacti DMX-HD1000 camcorders, the DXG-569V HD Ultra Compact Camcorder records video in either H.264 or MOV format to standard SD or high capacity SD memory cards (the device itself comes with a mere 32MB on onboard capacity), comes with 3” flip out, pivoting TFT screen and 2x digital zoom and, certainly considering the low price point, whilst not especially brimming with high-end features, boasts specifications that are far removed from what you would expect at this particular budget.DXG-569V HD Ultra Compact Camcorder Features:
