Samsungs S-Series, part of its Designer family of digital cameras, has set a new standard when it comes to todays entry-level point and shoots. With an array of advanced and fun controls, S-Series digital cameras give the entry-level photographer the ability to experience features commonly associated with higher skill-level cameras.
With the launch of the 8 mega pixel S85, Samsung takes the S-Series a step further and again expands the options for beginners looking for a digital camera that is innovative, easy-to-use and stylish.
Powered by two common AA alkaline batteries, users can rest assured that theyll always be able to find a replaceable power source wherever they go, without having to worry about forgetting a battery charger at home. The S85 features Samsungs SHD lens and brings a 5x optical-zoom (35mm film equivalent: 38~190mm) right to shooters fingertips. With a focus range that starts at 1cm, the S85 also allows users to experiment with macro photography and get close up with subjects, such as flowers, and capture crisp, clear images with super detail. For fast-action photography, the S85 offers a maximum shutter speed of 1/2,000 sec. as well as a motion capture feature that allows users to take up to seven pictures a second.
With Samsungs proprietary ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction) image stabilization system and Wise Shot technology, the S85 gives users the ability to minimize the effects of hand shake and ensure that the best shots are captured even in dimly lit conditions. Wise Shot automatically takes two consecutive pictures in rapid successionone with ASR image stabilization enabled, and one with the flashand prompts the user to review both and keep the preferred version of the picture. Furthermore, the S85s Face Detection technology also makes taking pictures of family and friends a snap. Samsungs Face Detection feature detects up to nine faces and automatically adjusts focus and exposure to ensure better composition and image quality.
