Two Headed Monster

The gibe on video camcorders that take digital still pictures has been the circuitry was geared towards video. Enter the Samsung SC-D5000 DuoCam, a fully featured mini DV digital camcorder that literally flips its lid and becomes a full fledged 4- megapixel digital camera with 3X optical/6X digital zoom, plus flash. Both cameras are built-in to the same housing. Film some action then twist the frame and voila! It’s a camera. $1400; www.samsungusa.com
