LAS VEGAS -- Judging by the pushing and shoving to get into the Samsung Press conference this afternoon at CES 2009, something big was going on, and we weren't disappointed. Samsung took a hosepipe and metaphorically sprayed us to the back of the room with the amount of new products it announced.
The camera lineup consists of both camcorders and still digicams, although the differences between them appear top be shrinking as the stills cams can shoot video, too. In fact, the major differences appears to be the shape, with the movie cameras coming in sleek cylindical form.
Along with a couple of feature-bumped compacts from the SL range, the standout new camera is the TL-100, seen above. Mostly it's just sexy and slim – 16.6m (0.65 inch) thick – but the 12.2 megapixel, 3X zoom camera has a new feature called Smart Auto, which picks the exposure mode for you depending on what the camera sees in front of it. So a picture of a person switches in the portrait exposure mode and... you get the picture.
It also comes with dual image stabilization, which shifts the lens and the sensor to stop things getting shaky. The price hasn't yet been announced, but it will be available in Spring.
