Samsung DV300F Preview
Samsung announced today its latest incarnation in their DualView camera series, the sleekly designed DV300F. It features a 16.0 Mega-pixel, 1/2.3" CCD, a 5x optical zoom lens (a 35mm equivalent of 25-125mm), a 3.0" rear facing LCD viewing screen, a 1.5" front facing LCD screen, and Wi-Fi connectivity. That smaller, front facing screen has a couple new features to help self portraits, including a visual Self Timer as well as a Child Mode, which "displays an animation to keep little ones focused."
Built-in Wi-Fi enables access to the usual social media suspects (Facebook, Flickr, Picasa, YouTube), as well as allowing you to save images directly from your microSD card onto your PC (via Auto PC Backup) or Cloud services like Microsoft SkyDrive or Samsung's own AllShare Play.
If creatively altering pictures is your thing, you'll enjoy a host of in-camera apps to customize your images. Magic Frame includes 12 background templates for creating "poster-quality" art. Picture-in-Picture mode allows one image to be inserted into another, or into a video clip for uploading on YouTube. Split Shot allows users to merge up to three different images and the pics don't even have to be taken with your camera. Funny Face has 8 different modes for adding crazy facial features to portraits. Artist Brush turns any video or still image into a color or black & white "sketch" as if an artist had painted it. Lastly, the all new Motion Photo app allows DV300F owners to "freeze time around a moving subject for dramatic effect."
