RCA announces EZ209HD, their slimmest Small Wonder camcorder ever

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Cameras, CES, CES 2009, Handhelds, HDTV, Movies, Portable Audio / Video

We are loving just how prevalent small HD cams are becoming, and the RCA EZ209HD looks to be an impressive unit when it comes to that category. This is the company’s slimmest and “sexiest” (their word, not mine) Small Wonder camcorder ever, and captures high definition video while sporting a 2-inch display. Even better, though, unlike some of the other handheld HD flash camcorders we’ve seen, the EZ209HD even has an HDMI port, so you can plug directly into a television to watch your home movies. The rechargeable battery lasts for two hours, which is also nice, and the camera even supports a 60fps Sports Mode for fast action. Once your recordings are done, you can easily upload them to YouTube and Box.net. You’ll be able to get your hands on an RCA EZ209HD by the end of this quarter, and it’ll sell for $119.99.

Full press release available after the break, which includes details on the EZ207 as well.

RCA is banking on their new Jetstream, a 1 GB MP3 player that comes with FM tuner/record with 20 presets and wireless earphones, to make it to your wishlist this Holiday season. The S2501’s coverage is about 30 feet so when your boss tells you not to play your music during working hours he/she won’t know you have stashed the PMP in a drawer and are secretly listening to “Born to Be Wild” while waiting for the clock to strike 5:00. Look for the Jetstream’s release to be sometime this month at a cost of ~$139.00.
