Photokina report
The Samsung booth drew quit a lot of attention and especially the new NV-series were quite appealing to a lot of the visitors. Of course the new 10 Megapixel Samsung GX10 made people curious and a lot of them wanted to find out what the deal is between Samsung and Pentax. Somehow it surprised me to see that Samsung did not introduce a real 100% Samsung-only DSLR. This new model seems to be the first end-result of the cooperation between Samsung and Pentax and we were promised that we may expect more to come…
Samsung Pro 815 - DIWA Award
Among the new stylish Samsung NV-series the Samsung Pro815 was showcased behind the glass. This model was awarded with a DIWA Gold award and is still quit unique in its own way. Built around a fast 15x Schneider-Kreuznach Varioplan zoom lens equivalent to 28-420mm f/2.2-4.6, with a 3 cm super macro performance, the Samsung Pro815 holds the world record in terms of zoom power in a digital camera. It is also the first camera in the world with three LCD viewfinder solutions. The Samsung Pro815 back is dominated by a gigantic 3.5" LCD-screen, supported by an electronic viewfinder, both with a resolution of 235K for detailed image rendering.
