Samsung has rolled out two new digital cameras to their S Series with the addition of the Digimax S700 and S1000. The two new models join the S500, S600 and S800 in the line.
The 7-megapixel S700 and the 10-megapixel S1000 are full featured models said to be designed to deliver maximum value, style and performance for digital photographers of all skill and experience levels. Offering features useful to the entire family, both models boast a crystal-clear 2.4-inch LCD and a 3x optical zoom in both still and movie modes.
Both models feature seven scene modes including: Landscape, Close-Up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks and Beach & Snow. And, for the ultimate in creative control the S series models also feature a Special Effects Hot Key, putting several special effects at the user’s fingertips. These effects include: Color Effect, offering a variety of colors, including B/W, sepia, blue, red, green or Negative depending on your photographic settings; Highlight, which keeps the subject in sharp focus while putting the rest of the image into soft focus; Photo Frame, allowing the shooter to choose from nine different types of photo frames to shoot their subjects in; and Composite Shot that allows the user to take two-to-four, and save them into a single file.
All Samsung digital still cameras feature a built-in image editing function allowing users to edit a variety of images without the use of a PC.
For recording movies while on the go, top-of-the-line model S1000 supports MPEG-4, the high-compression, high quality video format that can record for up to 3-4 times longer than traditional video formats commonly used in other digital cameras. The S700 supports MJPEG video recording. The S1000 can even record more than one-hour of high quality VGA (640×480) video at 30 fps when using a 256MB memory card.
For steady recording, built-in movie stabilization is said to automatically detect and correct lateral and vertical camera movement caused by the shooter’s unsteady hand. All three models also enable users to take advantage of the 3x optical zoom even while in the movie recording mode.
Equipped with 16MB of built-in memory, these models allow shooters to save pictures without a memory card while the Copy to Card function allows users to transfer images saved in the internal memory to external memory.
Both models will be available in August with the S700 retailing for $249.99 and the S1000 for $349.99.
