Samsung’s new pocket camera comes with a USB-plug. Not a pathetic little mini or microUSB-plug either, but a full-sized connector which folds out, Flip-style, and hooks into your computer for both charging and image transfer. You should even be able to plug it straight into any USB-charger, meaning one less thing to carry on vacation.
Specs=wise, it comes in at the “pretty good” level, especially considering the $150 price-tag. You get a 29-116mm equivalent zoom, running from ?2.8-6.5, which is frankly excellent for this class of camera. The 2.7-inch screen has a lowly 230,000-dots, the movie mode manages just 640 x 480 pixels and the sensor has far too many pixels, counting 12.2MP.
The camera is obviously for the point-and-shoot customer, and includes face detection, a self-portrait mode which detects when your face in in frame and in focus. It even caters for those people who never even upload their pics to a computer, and will sort pictures into smart albums depending on date time and color.
Available September. It would make a great gift for mom.
