Samsung´s new champion – the U-CA5 5MP with MPEG4 video

Samsung’s Digimax U-CA5 is one fantastic piece of engineering – it is a 5 mega-pixel digital camera that encodes video into MPEG4 @ 30 fps in 640 x 480 VGA resolution. The video file is limited only by the size of the SD card inserted. Its voice recording functions are also handy for those who need to record quick notes. A 512MB SD card can hold up to more than 12 hours of digital voice recording. It is reported to be extremely easy to use due to the excellent UI, and sized comfortably. Definitely a winner in our books! (specs below)
