“As with most industries producing consumer goods, digital camera companies will often make the most of their investment in research and development by launching several very similar models, reusing the same basic design and sharing most of their components and features, but differing in a few details to produce a range of distinct products. Sometimes the result can be surprising. For example the Panasonic TZ3 differs from the TZ2 only in the size of the monitor screen and an extra megapixel of resolution, but the result is a significantly better camera. However sometimes the surprise works the other way. Samsung has two very similar cameras in the 8.1-megapixel NV8 and today’s camera, the 10.1-megapixel NV15, but in this case adding more megapixels has not produced the desired effect.”
Samsung today announced the launch of two new entry-level digital cameras - the 7.2 mega-pixel S760 and the 8.1 mega pixel S860. The two new models extend the range of Samsung’s S-Series, which sets a new standard when it comes to today’s user friendly point and-shoot digital cameras.
The camera’s performance is adequate, but not particularly brilliant. It starts up in just under two seconds, which is acceptable for a camera in this class, and the autofocus is reasonably quick in good light. Despite the presence of a seemingly adequate AF assist lamp however, focusing in even slightly low light is very unreliable, usually simply announcing “Low Light!” with a big banner across the monitor. It will still take a picture in this situation, but it may not be focused correctly.
Samsung today announced the launch of the super slim 7 mega pixel L77 digital still camera. In combining a sleek compact body less than one inch thick with an impressive 7x optical zoom lens, Samsung has once again set new standards in style and technology. The L77 offers an extremely compact and elegant design, combined with a host of advanced features and functionalities, making it the ideal camera for those looking for the latest in sleek design and premium digital compact camera performance.
Samsung Cameras today launches the S830, a fully featured digital camera with an advanced feature set including an 8.0 Mega-pixel image sensor and a 3x optical zoom lens (35 - 105mm, 35mm equivalent) to ensure superb digital images time and time again.
Samsung Cameras today launches the S1030, a high performance camera that scores ten out of ten with its features which include a 10 Mega-pixel sensor and a 3x optical zoom lens for pin sharp pictures with every click of the shutter.
