Samsung D815 Photos Spotted
Posted by Jason Dunn in "HARDWARE" @ 02:30 PM
"The Samsung Digimax Pro 815 is grabbing quite a bit of attention, thanks to its Schneider-Kreuznach Varioplan lens, which features a whopping 7.2 - 108mm 15x optical zoom. The widest focal length of 28mm equivalent should prove very useful, but we'll reserve judgement on how useable the lens is at its 420mm equivalent telephoto, since the company has not mentioned image stabilisation, and we don't currently know the maximum ISO sensitivity. Other websites have speculated that the camera features an eight megapixel imager (based on the model number), and we can confirm based on information direct from Samsung that this is indeed the case. We believe the sensor is a 2/3" CCD type. Other features include a 3.5" TFT LCD display - said by Samsung to be the biggest on a digital camera - as well as what Samsung says is the highest capacity proprietary battery, a 1900mAh 7.4v type."
Samsung hasn't made much of a splash in the digital camera market since entering the market a couple of years ago, but they seem to be getting serious: an 8 MP CCD sensor, 3.5" LCD screen, and a whopping 15x optical zoom. Some photos have just surfaced on this new camera, and it looks quite interesting indeed!
