I have covered the affordable video camcorders from DXG before, such as the DXG-567V and DXG-569V. Now, there is the DXG-579V, an upright digital camcorder with 720p video capture and shoot still pictures up to 8 megapixels.

The DXG-579V is a vertical form factor with a 2.4 inch rotation screen. It records H.264 video, or MOV file format, at up to 1280 x 720 at 30 frames per second. The user has the option of using High Capacity SD cards.

I regularly use the DXG-569V, and I find it simple to use and easy to upload videos to YouTube. The DXG-579V looks to be a step up from the 569V, and it looks like it has some sort of weird gauge where the SD card is inserted.

DXG is offering the DXG-579V in a full holiday pack. It comes with a portable tripod, 2 GB SD card good for 2 hours of HD video, the ArcSoft TotalMedia Extreme video editing software, protective pouch, rechargeable batteries, and AV cables of viewing on the television.

This deal begins on Novemeber 28 (Black Friday) and runs until New Year’s Eve. The Holiday pack from DXG-579V will be available at Kohl’s in midnight black and classic silver, but my source did not have a price.
