Samsung S1050: 10 mega-pixel compact digital camera under $200

The Samsung S1050 is one of new digital cameras that launch on the market in 2007. The Samsung S1050 a point-and-shoot digital camera with a premium quality 10.1 mega-pixel image sensor combine with a super-sharp 5x optical zoom lens and also some more features that set it apart from the competition with cost around $200

The S1050 includes Samsung’s Intelligent Face Recognition Technology, which detects the subject’s face, automatically adjusts auto focus and auto exposure to ensure better composition and image quality in portraits, and other shots featuring people. The AF function instantaneously recognizes the faces of subjects and accurately focuses on them. The AE function then takes over, setting the appropriate exposure to ensure the highest image quality.

In addition the S1050 has a feature that Samsung calls “ASR” or advanced shake reduction which helps to reduce camera shake and image blur during longer exposure shots or in lower light conditions. But once again this uses higher ISO settings to compensate for camera shake. Users will be able to take advantage of the S1050’s speed and resolution in any situation - from taking landscape photos at dusk to shooting fast action sports photography.

For maximum versatility, the S1050 can be powered by an optional Samsung rechargeable Ni-MH battery system, as well as available-everywhere AA alkaline batteries, making it the perfect choice for travellers and power users alike.
