Samsung Launches New Budget Digicam

Samsung seems to be on a roll with its digicam releases this year, the latest of which is the new Samsung S750.

This 7.2 megapixel budget digicam sports all the predictable features like 3x optical zoom, Pict-Bridge, scene modes, etc. This is what LetsGoDigital has to say about the camera:
Convenient features like auto mode and scene programmes like Auto, Program, Manual, Scene, Movie, ensures the entry-level photographer hassle-free digital photography without the need to worry about settings like aperture and shutter speeds. And due to the high resolution of 7.2 Megapixels the user has enough digital information to post process the image or print it large format.


Doesn’t seem like it has anything revolutionary, but then again none of the lower-end cameras do. No pricing announced as yet, but you can head over to LetsGoDigital for more information.

New 9MP Entry-level Digicam From Fujifilm

Fujifilm U.S.A. recently announced the launch of the 9 megapixel FinePix A920. Designed specifically for the first-time digital camera buyer and consumers seeking an affordable, easy-to-operate upgrade to their current digital camera, the camera incorporates Fujifilm’s signature Super CCD sensor technology, a 4.0x optical zoom lens and features a 2.7” LCD.

To make it easy for consumers to achieve blur-free results, the FinePix A920 features a “Picture Stabilization” mode in the dial setting. This easy-to-identify setting automatically chooses the correct light sensitivity and best-matching shutter speed, producing high quality digital pictures without blur and the noise often associated with high sensitivity photographs.

In addition, the FinePix A920 shoots with light sensitivities of up to ISO 800 at full resolution.

The FinePix A920 will debut in the US by September 2007 with a retail price of $199.95. No information on the Indian launch or pricing.
