Medion's approach to the pocket camcorder market is to go rough and tough with the launch of the Medion Life S47000 at IFA in Berlin, Germany.

The new model will come weight 85grams, come with a 2-inch screen and able to take a beating thanks to its rubberized exterior which in hand feels strong and sturdy.

Costing £99 the camcorder sports 720p HD recording resolution, a maximum aperture of F2.8 with a focal length of f3.99 mm and shutter speed of 1/2000 in a considerably smaller device than the other pocket camcorders on the market

Splash water-resistant other features include an MP3 player, the ability to take still camera shots and HDMI and USB connectivity.

Video is stored on the rather disappointing 90MB of internal memory or more usefully an SDHC card.

  • Do you think you'll be posting a full review - this looks interesting (and unlikely to generate the same online interest as the Kodak Zi8 and Sumsung HMX-U10) Posted by Terry, UK
  • Terry - we almost certainly will be reviewing this camcorder Posted by chrishall, United Kingdom
  • I was trying to gather information about this great piece of technology and ended up on this website, too. I too would like to see a review of this cam. As far as I can say this device is being manufactured in Taiwan by DXG Technology Corp. and they call it the DVS-126 (pic & fact sheet here: http://www.dxgtech.com/product_jpg/DVS126_b.jpg). I hope to see this device in German shops soon, I'd import it from the UK if it was available though. Posted by Andreas, Germany
