Housed in a compact, lightweight and durable body, both the new 16-megapixel WB850Fwith 21x optical zoom and in built GPS as well as the 14.2-megapixel WB150F with an 18x optical zoom, make the perfect travel companions. ST200F also boasts 16-megapixel and 10x optical zoom.

The DV300F builds on the success of Samsung’s popular Dual-View line and includes a 1.5-inch LCD on the front of the camera to deliver stunning self-portraits, or keep children focused while capturing memories, thanks to colourful animations to draw their attention. It’s also the first model in the Dual-View line to integrate wireless technology.From any Wi-Fi hotspot, users can email photos, or share them on social networks such as Facebook, PhotoBucket and Picasa or post videos to YouTube in a few simple steps. 

The entire range of Samsung cameras is equipped with Beauty Shot. This feature is like having your own make-up artist, right in your camera. It automatically identifies imperfections and retouches them so that faces appear brighter and smooth. And with different level settings, you can control the amount of retouching that takes place, it’s that simple!

“All of these cameras take such impressive pictures that people will want to share them immediately – and with integrated wireless features, they’ll be able to do just that,” said Chuck Ofoma, Product Manager, Digital Imaging, Samsung Electronics West Africa. “Now, photographers don’t have to compromise. They get the benefits of a great digital camera – including optical zoom, high quality image sensors, true flash and image stabilization – along with the connectivity they expect from Samsung.” 

The new Smart Cameras also interface with Samsung’s line of Smart TVs, PCs, tablets and smartphones, creating a truly unique and integrated ecosystem. These 4 models support Remote Viewfinder features, allowing users to remotely control the camera’s shutter, zoom and flash from the palm of their hand, using any android based Smartphone or tablet. 

Samsung TV Link lets you tap into your home network to wirelessly stream content from your camera to your HDTV. 

The Samsung Mobile Link application makes it a snap for users to transfer photos from the camera directly to any Android Smartphone, iphone or tablet, using a free app available for download from the Android marketplace.

Wi-Fi Direct technology for peer-to-peer transfers with any Samsung Galaxy device – no wireless router required. 

With Auto Backup, you can wirelessly transfer content to your PC, even if the computer is turned off. No need for clumsy USB cables or fumbling with memory cards. 

Microsoft® Sky Drive® Cloud services are also integrated into the new models– so photos can be accessible anywhere, and from any connected device. Additionally, the in-camera editing feature allows users to edit images directly on the camera prior to sharing them, eliminating the need for a PC to make adjustments. 

Samsung’s Smart Auto setting analyses, identifies and automatically selects the most appropriate of its scene modes to provide users with the best possible result every time. From a brilliant fireworks display to a dimly-lit party environment, scene detection technology identifies the shooting conditions and automatically tailors the settings to help achieve standout results. For users seeking more control over their photo-taking experience, the WB150F allows them to explore their own photographic skills with the Full Manual Control setting, while also taking advantage of the camera’s dual image stabilization (DIS). 

The Live Panorama function featured on all models, allows consumers to capture even more of the action, facilitating wide panoramic shots which doesn’t miss any of the detail, from sprawling mountain peaks through to large groups of friends. By simply holding down the shutter button and sweeping the camera across the subject users want to capture, the camera can seamlessly stitch together a dynamic scene.

With Split Shot, camera users can divide the screen into three separate shots and create up to three different photographs by simply blending them together to create a whole new view of their travels. Using Magic Frame they can also position their target in the middle of a fun background – either choose from one of the many pre-designed backgrounds like movie billboards or posters or erase part of an existing picture to get even more creative! Or use the Picture-in-Picture feature to insert a photo – whether an eye-catching monument or personal portrait into another image or video so users can combine their favourite shots to make a memorable collage. Finally, users can also bend, stretch, and warp pictures of friends and family for big laughs — with the Funny Face feature. Simply press the 5-direction key to enlarge heads or noses, or create hilarious distortions. When they move the camera, Face Tracking preserves the funny looks just the way they want them. 

The Samsung Smart Cameras are now available from authorized Samsung retailers.
