Samsung just dropped a ton of digital cameras and here they all are. The S-series includes two entry-level models, the 7.2-megapixel S760 and 8.1-megapixel S860. Both feature a 3x optical zoom, Samsung SDH lens and Digital Image Stabilization as well as face detection and self portrait mode. Also featured is a special effects button, “E”, that lets you resize, rotate, adjust brightness, contrast and saturation levels, red eye fixin’, and the ability to change color schemes. Movies are shot in 320×240 or 640×480 at 30fps in AVI.
The S860 retails for $179 and the S760 is $169. They’ll both be available this month.
The NV-series also added two new models with a 8.1-megapixel NV30 and 10-megapixel NV40 with Smart Touch UI and DRIM engine image processor, which means it’s fast and image quality is good. Both have 3x optical zoom Schneider lenses with a combo of optical image stabilization and digital image stabilization. An added feature is a secondary Photo Style Selector dial allowing you to add effects from seven different color profiles, including Soft, Vivid, Forest, Retro, Cool, Calm and Classic.
