Keeping up the torrent of digital imaging announcements, Samsung has now updated pretty much every cam in its range, and we've picked out the highlights for you:

The C20, C24 and M20 are a trio of ultra-stylish handhelds, carrying on the C-series lineage (http://www.engadget.com/2009/04/29/samsung-intros-drop-dead-gorgeous-smx-c14-and-smx-c10-camcorders/), which regrettably means a scant 720 x 480 resolution to go with your Touch of Color (http://www.engadget.com/tag/touchofcolor). The less fashion-conscious M20 gets a CMOS sensor that stretches all the way up to 1920 x 1280/60p, while all three share Samsung's famed Active Angle Lens.
The F40, F43 and F44 bring a super duper 52x optical zoom, but again record at a disappointing 720 x 480. Really Samsung?
The H200, H203, H204, and H205 offer 1080/60i credentials and HDMI output, augmented by SSD choices (up to 32GB) on the higher models and 20x optical zoom. Optical image stabilization and a 2.7-inch touchscreen LCD make these appealing, particularly if you expand the internal storage with a few jumbo-sized SDHC cards.
The S10, S15 and S16 collectively occupy Samsung's top tier, sporting a backside illuminated (http://www.engadget.com/tag/bsi) 10 megapixel CMOS sensor outputting 1080/60i video. Built-in SSD storage stretches up to 64GB, and there's also a 15x optical zoom, WiFi connectivity, and a 3.5-inch touchscreen running a 3D GUI.Most of these new shooters will be landing in February and March, with the S-series joining them later in the spring. Slide past the break should you wish to learn more.
