Introducing the “S” Series of Point & Shoot cameras.
‘S’ series point and shoot digital cameras to be launched
- 5, 6, and 8 megapixels, all with 3x optical zoom
- Easy and quick operation
- Ergonomic design with camera grip
- Large and Vivid TFT LCD (2.4 inch)
Samsung Cameras (CEO: Lee Jong-gu), has announced the release of the point and shoot ‘S’ series.
The ‘S’ series is great for family use and for anyone wanting ease and convenience. Purchasers can choose from a variety of models: 5, 6, and 8 megapixels in Silver or Black shades.
The ‘S’ series comes with an Effect Key allowing the user to adjust the colour of the photos being taken and also add various creative effects. The range also has an easy mode dial that allows the user to move between portrait, night pictures, and movies, swiftly, depending on the situation.
The ‘S’ series has a larger LCD screen for clearer picture quality. Printing out pictures is easy via PictBridge which enables an image to be printed directly to a connected compatible printer - without a PC.
‘S’ series, a digital camera range for the entire family, features video capabilities (MPEG4, VGA, 30fps) which means it can even double as a camcorder. Advanced features allow “in camera” movie editing and a pause function during recording.
Samsung’s ‘S’ series cameras are expected to hit the market in early 2006.
CNET reviews the Samsung Digimax S800 and gives it a rating of 5.2 out of 10 writing - 'Samsung categorizes its S-series cameras as point-and-shoots on its Web site, but with the controls included in these models, they have the potential to reach beyond the majority of simple snapshot cameras. Unfortunately, a not so intuitive set of menus and less than stellar image quality keep the 8.1-megapixel Samsung Digimax S800 from reaching its potential. Measuring 3.9 by 2.4 by 1.1 inches and weighing just 6 ounces, the Digimax S800 should fit comfortably in a jacket pocket, and its curved grip makes it easy to hold. The sparse, silver-and-gray look won't turn any heads but isn't ugly either. Its 3X optical, 35mm-to-105mm (35mm equivalent), f/2.8-to-f/5.1 zoom lens extends outward from the camera's front when powered up and retracts when turned off. '
