Samsung ships QF20 camcorder with WiFi, toughened-up W300 pocket cam

Samsung‘s CES blitz included a tease of five new camcorders , but precious little in the way of launch details. Some of the mystery has ended, as two of the camcorders — the QF20 and W300 — are at last hitting US stores. The QF20 caters to the Internet crowd and, for $350, will let you upload your 20x-zoomed 1080p videos straight to Facebook, Picasa or YouTube without thrusting a computer into the process.
