Samsung announces compact digital camera with 24mm lens



Samsung has announced the HZ10W, a pocket-sized 10.2 MP digital camera that boasts a 10x zoom lens that starts at a wider-than-usual 24mm (35mm equivalent). Designed primarily for snapshooters who shoot groups in small spaces and travellers who want more impressive landscapes, the HZ10W also offers manual shutter speed and aperture settings, which might capture the interest of more advanced shooters. The camera can capture 720p high-definition video at 30 fps. Other features include 13 scene modes, face detection, Smile Shot (automatically triggers the shutter when the camera detects that people are smiling) and Blink Detection (camera fires three shots if the camera detects that someone's eyes are closed). The camera will cost around $299.99.


Samsung Introduces 24mm Ultra-Wide Angle Mega-Zoom


New HZ10W Offers HD Video and Addresses Need for Wider Focal Length and Longer Zoom


Samsung's new HZ10W is a compact, 10.2 mega-pixel digital camera that takes wide-angle to a new level. Featuring an ultra-wide angle 24mm Schneider lens, the HZ10W goes beyond the 28mm wide-angle focal length offered by other manufacturers while adding a powerful 10x optical zoom with telephoto capabilities of 240mm (35mm film equivalent).


Opportunities to enhance one's creativity thrive thanks to the wider focal length offered by the HZ10W's ultra-wide angle, 24mm lens. With the ability to fit more of a desired scene into the shot, users no longer have to worry about asking a group of people to stand closer together to make sure everyone is in the photo. Users can also capture even more impressive landscape images, communicating the full beauty of a mountain range or even cityscape, as they see it, without having to decide what to exclude when pressing the shutter button.
