Photos: Samsung thinks Santa in summertime

This Samsung camera is compact, but it packs a nice punch. Not only does it have touch-screen controls and a nice swivel handle, which allows easy, lower shooting angles, but it shoots video in 720p. Samsung says it went with progressive (the "p" in 720p) instead of interlaced (720i) for its first high-definition camcorder to allow better slow-motion replay of home movies. The camera also has 8GB of flash memory built in, along with an SD card slot. The camera should go on sale in early October for $795.
