The third camera Samsung release today is the L74 Wide. If you like an entry level camera with quality and cool features this one is for you. A partial press release is below:
“The L74 Wide digital camera, equipped with a 3.6x optical zoom and 28mm wide-angle lens support for wider images, its ideal for tech savvy consumers looking for a high quality easy to use camera to take with them on their travels. The L74 Wide is equipped with a convenient Tour Guide function which provides travel information covering 4,500 regions in 30 countries– helping users to plan trips and find their way while on the road. Equipped with 450 MB of internal memory, the L74 Wide can store all the information travelers need to get them where they’re going safely and on time.
The L74 Wide, with a 3.0-inch Touch Screen LCD, includes Samsung’s Face Recognition AF & AE, which detects the subject’s face, automatically adjusts auto focus and auto exposure to ensure better composition and image quality in portraits and other shots featuring people. The AF function instantaneously recognizes the faces of subjects and accurately focuses on them. The AE function then takes over, setting the appropriate exposure to ensure the highest image quality. Also the touch screen LCD perfected with Samsung’s original Flash GUI (Graphic User Interface) enables the user to access the diverse function intuitively and easily.
The L74 Wide also features Samsung’s proprietary ASR image stabilization system which helps to capture the best possible images even in dimly lit conditions. Combined with the ability to capture in MPEG-4 SVGA quality the L74 Wide can take compelling moving pictures and once taken the camera allows for pictures to be edited rather than the user having to wait until they sat at their computer.”
If you want the L74 Wide, you will need to wait till about May 2007 and be ready to shell out about $350.00 USD.
