Samsung L74 Wide

Lots of compacts are billed as travel cameras, but the 7MP Samsung L74W is uniquely qualified: Its Tour Guide feature provides travel info and photo ops for 4,500 regions in 30 countries, accessed through the 3-inch touch-screen LCD. A soon-to-arrive GPS pocket module (price not available) will let you add latitude, longitude, elevation, and time to the picture file using the charger port. Also vagabond-friendly: wide-angle 28-100mm 3.6X zoom, Face Recognition AF. ($350, est. street; www.samsungcamerausa.com)
