The new model optimizes the video quality with a high-performance 680K-pixel CCD sensor.

On video quality, it is packed with powerful technologies such as 3-D noise reduction technology for smooth video, Samsung’s own edge filter technology for stunning video details and clarity, and color control technology for original and natural colors. The new MX20 is the first to apply H.264 CODEC to SD camcorders. In the “fine” mode, Samsung’s MX-20 camcorder can record up to 4 hours of footage using an 8GB memory card, 8 hours using a 16GB memory card, and up to 16 hours using a 32GB card. Users can easily import the video to iTunes and play it on iPod or other personal media players supporting H.264 without having to transcode the files.
