Memorex MyVideo & MyVideo HD camcorders squeeze into crowded market

, Oct 16th 2009 Discuss [0]

Memorex obviously reckon there's a gap in the market - seriously, where? - for yet another point-and-shoot camcorder, and so they've announced not one but two of the little devils.  Looking somewhat curvier than what's on offer from Flip, Creative and Kodak, the Memorex MyVideo (MCC221) and Memorex MyVideo HD (MCC225) each offer an integrated USB port, digital zoom and 2-inch LCD display, with the MyVideo capturing up to 2hrs of VGA quality footage to its 2GB of internal storage, while the MyVideo has 4GB for up to 1hr of presumably 720p video. Each also grabs still shots - the MyVideo at VGA resolution, the MyVideo HD at a presumably interpolated 5-mexapixels - and has onboard software to make uploading to Flickr, YouTube and other sites straightforward.  Memorex quote up to 5hrs of battery life for the low-res model and half that for the HD version.

I guess that is to be expected when the device comes from a company that makes pedals and other gear for musicians. Read The Full Story
