Samsung Pro815 Review
Digital Photograpy Review looks over the Samsung Pro815, an SLR-styled super zoom digital camera.
The Pro815’s designers obviously decided that the key to success was to take the successful formula established by the likes of Panasonic with its FZ series and ’super size’ it in every way possible. Thus we have the world’s biggest zoom range, world’s biggest LCD screen, world’s highest capacity Li-Ion battery and a list of features as long as your arm - all in a single camera.
On paper the Pro815 offers an intriguing and compelling mix of features, but can it compete with its direct competitors, never mind the ever-increasing number of affordable SLRs on the market today? It certainly outdoes the Panasonic FZ30 in sheer feature terms, it has better controls for those who really like to play with settings, has bigger screen and a better electronic viewfinder. But there are a couple of areas where the Pro815 falls down seriously, even compared to the hardly perfect FZ30. One is focus speed and shutter lag, important if you like to grab shots quickly.
Pentax helps Samsung with a Digital SLR
Seoul, Korea - October 12th, 2005: Samsung (CEO Lee Joong-Koo, www.samsungcamera.com) announces an agreement with Pentax to jointly develop Digital-SLR cameras.
The partnership between Samsung and Pentax will be based on sharing their respective competencies to enhance competitiveness in digital cameras.
Samsung holds superb digital image processing technologies, digital convergence technologies and world-wide brand recognition in digital appliance markets. Its partner, Pentax, has developed SLR cameras using Penta Prism technology. Pentax possesses a wide range of high-performance interchangeable lenses as well as cutting edge technologies for high precision cameras.
It is estimated that the world-wide digital camera market will continue its growth with unit sales of 82 million for 2005 and 89 million for 2006. The digital SLR market growth rate will exceed the overall digital camera growth rate with over 4 million unit sales for this year and over 5 million unit sales for 2006.
Samsung announced its vision of “becoming a top-class Digital Camera manufacturer” in May 2005. Since then, Samsung has seen strong success and rapid sales growth through the launch of innovative products and strong marketing.
Samsung has the No. 1 market share in Korea with a share of around 30%. Globally, Samsung is one of the fastest growing brands in digital cameras. Market share has doubled in the last year and this growth is set to continue.
Most recently, the Samsung Pro815, an advanced All in One digital camera, has generated massive interest. The Pro815 will provide the ideal platform for expansion into solutions for enthusiast and advanced photographers.
Samsung Digimax i5 Review
Camera Town reviews the Samsung Digimax i5 digital camera, and they come to the conclusion that if you are looking for a pocket-thin camera that balances features and image quality, then the Samsung i5 should be on your list.
“Announced in May, the Digimax i5 is Samsung’s smallest digital camera and is housed in a stylish, stainless steel body that will be available in silver, black, and red. The camera is about the same width (3.53″) and height (2.35″) as a credit card and only .68″ thick - or should I say thin. Samsung has definitely designed the camera to be simple to operate by reducing buttons and confusion on the camera body itself. The clean, simple design will make it very comfortable for almost anyone to pick up and use. The Digimax i5 features a internal 3x optical zoom, which means that the lens doesn’t extend out like it does on many small cameras. This keeps the camera thin and compact even during use. Other features include a whopping 50MB of internal memory, full screen video (640×480, 30fps) mode with sound and zoom capability, and a bright, large 2.5″ TFT color display.”
