The SMX-F50 series includes three models, the SMX-F50, F53 and F54, all of which provide 720 x 480 60i
video recording capabilities and are only differentiated by the amount of memory they provide (no internal memory for the F50, 8GB max. for the F53 and 16GB max. for the F54.

Additional features include Auto Focus, Face Detection, Smart Auto, Time Lapse Recording, Record Pause, Smart Playback, USB Charging, and a 2.7-inch 230K LCD screen, while carrying these camcorders around shouldn't prove to be much of a challenge, since they measure 53.9 X 56.4 X 119.0 mm.
