Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, a global leader in digital media and digital convergence technologies, has announced the launch of its W200 Pocket Cam and its compact, stylish and feature-packed ST93 on April 20, 2011 in Seoul, Korea.

 

 

 

W200

 

The WB200 is designed so it can be taken anywhere to capture brilliant videos in the toughest conditions, particularly underwater, thanks to features such as a 5-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and F2.2 Bright Lens. Created for those whose active lifestyles demand both durability and quality, it houses Samsung’s leading imaging technology in a shock, water and dust-proof rugged body.

 

The W200 is built to withstand the elements to produce high-quality videos in almost any circumstances. It is waterproof up to three meters and thanks to specialized functions, it makes taking underwater videos easier to achieve than ever.

 

The W200’s anti-water drop coating allows the LCD screen to stay free of condensation, even in damp conditions, so you can film without wiping the screen. The lens also features an anti-fog coating that lets steam disperse so you always have clear, blur-free videos and pictures even straight after coming out of the pool.

 

The W200 also includes an Aqua Mode setting, which automatically sets the ideal parameters for the bright and clear underwater video to make capturing amazing underwater footage simple. Despite its slim and compact design, it is also shockproof and dustproof making it the perfect addition to a backpack for any trip and robust enough for worry-free family vacations with young children. It also comes with a built-in USB arm to make it easy to share your adventures.

 

In addition to delivering high-quality video, the W200 makes it easy to both manage your video files and be creative with them too. With Samsung’s Record Pause feature, users can pause briefly during filming and then resume from the exact same moment. When filming is complete, footage will all be in the same file, removing the need to merge them, and making uploading and sharing hassle-free.

 

Mr. Hyun-Ho Chung, Executive Vice President and Head of the Digital Imaging Business, Samsung Electronics, said, “The W200 is the ideal pocket cam for anyone who wants to experience life to the fullest and share those experiences with friends and family. It’s tough enough for filming a backpacking trip or vacation with small children and light enough to carry around with you every day so that you never miss a moment. We’ve used the latest in Samsung technology to make sure that you’re able to capture a faithful memory of your experiences wherever you go. The W200 is the pocket cam that you’d never want to leave at home; it’s reliable and easy to use on whatever adventure you’re setting out on.”

 

ST93

 

 

The ST93 is the latest addition to Samsung’s ultra-slim, stylish ST range with enhanced optical performance through Dual Image Stabilization, 16-megapixel picture quality, and 26mm wide angle and 5x optical zoom lenses. The ST93 also boasts a Smart Filter feature for users to be creative with their snaps. The latest launch reinforces Samsung’s ambition to produce fashionable and portable cameras that maintain a premium and high-quality feature set to guarantee great images.

 

 

 

The ST93 features a market-leading Dual IS capability, combining Optical Image Stabilization with traditional Digital Image Stabilization technology. The Dual IS guarantees clear and sharp images in any environment and prevents blurring, which allows customers to enjoy their camera experience to the fullest and enhance their individual creativity without the worry of blurry images.

 

Measuring just over 17.5mm, you can slip the sleekly designed ST93 into your pocket or handbag and take it wherever you go. The ST93’s Smart Filter lens and color options ensure straightforward capturing for both still shots and movie recordings. Advanced options include miniaturized capturing, a Vignetting effect, and a Soft Focus function for atmospheric photos. In addition, the camera’s innovative Panorama Shot feature ensures every wide-angled vista is captured for seamless and stunning images.

 

Mr. Hyun-Ho Chung, Executive Vice President and Head of the Digital Imaging Business, Samsung Electronics, said, “Today’s launch reinforces Samsung’s ability to balance our consumers’ style and design needs, whilst maintaining category-leading innovative and high-performing features such as Dual IS. We know our customers are passionate about sleek compact designs and the latest technology advancements. Now, following the global success of the ST95, ST90 and ST65, we are offering even more powerful optical performance to meet these demanding requirements. The design of the ST93 has been carefully considered to ensure it meets the requirements and usability needs of our customers for the best camera experience at an affordable price.”

Samsung WP10 Waterproof Digital Camera Review

Gary Wolstenholme takes a look at Samsung’s waterproof WP10, which can resist water to a depth of three metres.

Samsung’s WP10 costs around £120 and is a water resistant camera capable of depths of up to three metres, which should make it ideal for use by the beach, swimming pool or even for a bit of snorkelling. It’s the only water resistant compact Samsung currently make, but is priced so that it is not out of reach of those on a budget.

Samsung WP10: Features
Within the sealed waterproof body Samsung have provided a 5x optical zoom lens, covering a range equivalent to 35-175mm on a 35mm camera, and a 12 megapixel sensor for recording images. HD video can also be recorded at resolutions up to 720p and HDMI connectivity is included for seamless integration with your television set.

The usual array of detections found on modern digital cameras is included, such as Face Detection, Blink Detection, Scene Recognition in the Smart Auto Mode and Smile Detection, so that you can take a step back and leave the technical stuff to the camera. A variety of automatic scene programs are also available, including the Aqua mode, which optimises the camera for underwater shooting. Digital image stabilisation is provided to help iron out camera shake, which is a welcome addition, although a mechanical solution would be more effective.

Samsung NX11, sprigiona la tua creatività

“Professional images and a design that is versatile and easy to use: the NX Series has been enriched with the addition of the NX11.”

– Megamodo, Italy (30th March 2011)

Immagini professionali in corpi macchina versatili e facili da utilizzare: è la Serie NX di Samsung, arricchita dall’ingresso nel mercato dell’ultimo modello NX11 e presenta un modo tutto nuovo di intendere la fotografia, all’insegna della qualità e della massima semplicità d’uso. Le fotocamere della serie NX offrono, infatti, tutte le funzioni necessarie per scattare in modo facile e intuitivo foto davvero indimenticabili. Il segreto? L’unione di un formidabile corpo macchina “mirrorless”, privo cioè di specchio e pentaprisma, di un sensore CMOS di dimensioni APS-C e di un sistema di ottiche intercambiabili, in grado di garantire tutta la flessibilità e le prestazioni tipiche delle tradizionali fotocamere reflex, ma con dimensioni e pesi decisamente più contenuti.

Inoltre, uniche sul mercato, le fotocamere della Serie NX sono compatibili con le lenti i-Function, lenti intelligenti che consentono di impostare i principali parametri di scatto direttamente dall’obiettivo, in due semplici passaggi.

Il meglio del know-how tecnologico Samsung e la continua ricerca nell’innovazione prende forma, quindi, in tre corpi macchina mirrorless – NX11, NX100, NX10 – in grado di combinare le funzionalità più smart e un set di accessori personalizzabili, tra cui lenti intercambiabili, flash e sistema GPS, in grado di rendere la fotografia digitale davvero versatile ed adattabile ad ogni esigenza di scatto, per un risultato d’eccellenza garantito.

Pur semplificando la struttura della fotocamera rispetto ad un sistema reflex tradizionale rendendola estremamente portatile, il sistema NX integra il sensore CMOS in formato APS-C da 14.6MP, il principale elemento responsabile della qualità d’immagine tipica di un sistema reflex e cuore tecnologico della serie. In grado di catturare più luce e maggiori dettagli rispetto ai sensori normalmente impiegati delle fotocamere compatte, questo sensore è capace di ridurre il “rumore digitale” che tende a compromettere la qualità delle foto scattate con le fotocamere digitali compatte soprattutto in condizioni di scarsa illuminazione.

Vero e proprio sistema creativo a portata di mano, la serie NX di Samsung coniuga massima ergonomia, comodità e leggerezza alla possibilità di scegliere di volta in volta la lente giusta a seconda della scena inquadrata e alle esigenze di ogni utente. Grazie alle ottiche intercambiabili e alle lenti i-Function, che permettono di impostare i principali parametri di scatto direttamente dall’obiettivo con una sola mano, fare foto di qualità non è mai stato così facile! Sarà presto possibile scegliere tra ben 10 obiettivi diversi, ciascuno pensato per un utilizzo specifico: dal panorama al ritratto alle riprese macro, nel sistema NX c’è sempre l’obiettivo che fa per te!

Infine, l’intera gamma di fotocamere NX si presenta equipaggiata con un ampio display da 3” che sfrutta l’innovativa tecnologia AMOLED per una visualizzazione luminosa anche sotto la luce diretta del sole e una riproduzione di colori perfettamente naturali e brillanti. Si aggiungono tempi di risposta eccellenti: il nuovo display AMOLED della serie NX di Samsung è 3.000 volte più rapido di un tradizionale schermo LCD, senza dimenticare che ciò comporta consumi decisamente più ridotti e, di conseguenza, una maggiore durata della batteria.

Ultima arrivata nella famiglia di fotocamere digitali NX, Samsung NX11 unisce prestazioni di altissima qualità e lenti intercambiabili in un corpo macchina leggero e portatile: un vero e proprio strumento creativo a portata di mano completo di un vasto sistema di accessori in grado di renderlo flessibile e adattabile a ogni esigenza di scatto. Ergonomica e versatile, la nuova mirroless Samsung NX11 prosegue con successo lungo la strada dell’innovazione inaugurata dalla NX10, cui aggiunge alcuni miglioramenti in termini di grip e di ghiera i-Function. Gli innovativi obiettivi i-Function, attraverso i quali è possibile modificare i principali parametri di scatto semplicemente premendo un pulsante dedicato presente sulla ghiera dell’obiettivo, possono essere usati anche sulla NX10 previo aggiornamento firmware scaricabile dal sito Samsung. .

Samsung NX11 rappresenta, inoltre, la fotocamera perfetta per tutti coloro che vogliono dare espressione alla propria vena artistica: scegliendo tra i tanti effetti a disposizione – quali Miniaturing, Vignetting e Fish-eye – è, infatti, possibile personalizzare facilmente le proprie foto modificando la prospettiva delle immagini, creare composizioni in forte contrasto o divertirsi con l’effetto distorsione. Per catturare con una sola foto l’emozione che si prova davanti a uno spettacolo di natura, invece, basta utilizzare la modalità Panorama Shot, che consente di ottenere splendide immagini unendo automaticamente più foto, raccogliendo fino a 180° di panorama, utilizzabile sia in orizzontale che in verticale. La nuova NX11 si caratterizza, infine, per il mirino elettronico integrato, il flash e uno schermo AMOLED LCD da 3” in grado di ridurre il riflesso della luce permettendo di vedere sempre le proprie immagini in qualsiasi situazione.

Vero gioiello d’innovazione, Samsung NX11 presenta in dotazione uno zoom i-Function 18-55mm F3.5/5.6 OIS e supporta gli obiettivi iFunction e l’intera gamma di lenti Samsung. Tra questi ricordiamo uno zoom 20-50mm F3.5/5.6 i-Function e un obiettivo 20mm F2.8 i-Function leggero e dalle dimensioni contenute per riprese panoramiche perfette, l’ottica pancake 30mm F2.0 ideale per scatti in condizioni di scarsa luminosità, , un’ottica tele 50-200mm F4.0/5.6 completa di stabilizzatore ottico.
