functioning as both video- and digital camera, the 5-megapixel ‘hmx p100’ features a snap-out usb port, usable for both file uploading and battery charging.

sharing preferences can be preselected in the camera, so that once the device is connected to a PC, videos will upload automatically to the desired blogs or social networking sites.

the use of microSD cards keeps the camera small and portable

a BSI (backside illuminated) sensor reduces image noise and distortion, even in low-light environments. the newly designed ‘smart pause’ feature permits momentary pauses in filming before continuing to record in the same file, making it easier in post-production to edit footage.

the camera also benefits from auto focus and smart auto adjustment, digital image stabilization, and a 2.3″ LCD screen with an 80° viewing angle, permitting greater flexibility in shooting and viewing. a half inch in depth and measuring 4″ x 2.2″, ‘hmx p100’ utilizes microSD cards to keep its dimensions small.
