Samsung released a brand new line of powerful, sleek, and stylish cameras at the Consumer Electronics Show held in Las Vegas earlier this month. Each camera is designed with the consumer in mind, packing a powerful punch in a compact and easy to use design. The new cameras displayed at CES included the pocket sized L73, S850, and S1050. Each point and shoot camera has it’s own special features that makes it unique.
the L73 is ideal for photographers that want something small and easy to carry, but doesn’t sacrifice any quality because of it’s compactness. This bad boy boasts a 7 mega pixel image sensor and a precision 3x optical zoom lens and has features that you would normally find in a camera that costs twice as much. Samsung’s ASR image stabilization system helps to reduce image blur and camera shakiness when it’s hard to keep your arm still. With shutter speeds that reach up to an effective 1/2000 sec, users will be able to take advantage of the L73’s high resolution in any situation. Whether it be capturing the sunset or getting a shot of a fast paced sports game, you can do it with this camera. the L73 also includes the Wise Shot, which automatically takes two consecutive pictures, one with ASR stabilization and one with the flash. After you’ve taken the shot you can choose which one you like best.
At just $249.99, the S850 is a great camera that provides all the features you want at a very reasonable price. It even includes a 10 second voice memo so you can add an audible comment to any picture you want. There are also several special effects that can be enabled. Photo Frame allows users to chose one of several frames to border an image. Highlight will sharpen the foreground while softening the backround, and the Screen Split option can combine multiple images into a single file. the S850 also has the ASR stabilization feature, and a shutter speed of 1/2000 sec. This camera also has the ability to resize, cut, and rotate images within the camera itself. This way you don’t have to load them onto your computer first.
The flag ship of the S series, the S1050, comes with a premium quality 10.1 mega-pixel image sensor coupled with a super-sharp 5x optical zoom lens. This combines Samsung’s trademark ease of use with all the advanced hardware that photographers demand. Some of the settings include the dedicated Effect button, which lets users quickly access a host of powerful in camera image effects, including sepia-tone, black-and-white and RGB color effects. View all your pictures as a slide show if you want to on the 3.0″ LCD screen. The S1050 can be powered by an optional high-energy rechargeable Ni-MH battery, or the everywhere-available AA battery.
All of these beauties include a USB 2.0 cable, camera cradle, and CD-ROM containing Samsung’s Digimax Master software (compatible with Windows 98/2000/ME/XP and Macintosh OS X 9.2 through 10.4.) This will get even beginning photographers up and shooting right out of the box. These will be available later this spring with prices ranging from $249.99 to $349.99 MSRP.
