Medion Life S4700 HD Sport Camera a Little Late to the 720p Party

Medion Electronics brings a new entry into their electronics lineup with the Medion Life S4700 HD Sport Camera‏. This rugged little pocket camcorder shoots 720p videos into H.264 format. This iPod friendly format is fast becoming a mobile video standard, but is far from new anymore. Rugged, but not completely water resistant, this splash resistant video recorder should be able to go with you anywhere you go. Capable of 1280x720 still images as well, this should be a good replacement for any would-be cell-phone photojournalists. Unfortunately, the video components don't offer much more than most cell phones, and definitely no features or specifications that would set it apart from any more mainstream vendor's offerings.

Beyond the core features, the Medion Life has USB 2.0 connectivity for transferring movies and images off of the measly 90MB included memory, or off of any SD/SDHC cards that you want to add to it. It does have the ability to output directly to HDMI for recording or display if the 2" LCD display isn't quite enough for you. Available for the not quite competitive $166 now at MedionShop.
