Samsung
announced the launch of new Smart Cameras, which include the WB250F/WB200F,
theWB800F, WB30F, DV150F and ST150F.
Samsung today introduced another nine new models
to add to its stable of compact shooters.
Samsung WB250F
Similar to the
previous year, Samsung continues to tout Wi-Fi as the key feature in its latest
range of smart cameras. Six new cameras (WB250F/WB200F, WB800F, WB30F, DV150F
and ST150F) will sport the Smart Camera 2.0 feature which adds improved
Wi-Fi-enabled functionality such as Auto Share for quick uploading (or backing
up) of images from the camera to a smartphone as well as support for the Smart
Camera app (for both Android and iOS smartphone users). The app is said to be
designed for users to control, share and back-up images shot using compatible
Samsung cameras.

Also unveiled at the
company's CES press conference are three new non-Wi-Fi cameras--the WB2100,
ST72 and ES95.
Camera users, who appreciate the simplicity of
the panoramic shooting mode on the iPhone, will be pleased to find a similar
feature called Live Panorama on some of the latest offerings such as the ST72
and ST150F.
Quick summary of Samsung's new cameras:
*. WB250F - A 14.2-megapixel (CMOS) camera with
18x optical zoom, 24mm wide-angle lens and a hybrid (touchscreen and buttons)
user interface.
*. WB200F - Similar features as the WB250Fexcept
that it comes with a 14.2-megapixel CCD sensor instead.

Looking at the avalanche of new cameras from
Samsung, we can't help but feel that while the company clearly believes in
offering a wide range of choices for users, it can certainly do better to
simplify and align the model names of its cameras.

Samsung cameras will make their way to Asia.
