Yesterday we saw a couple of new cameras from Samsung, like the new Samsung TL500. Today, we have another new model, the Samsung AQ100, although this new model is a little different as it is waterproof.
The Samsung AQ100 can be used in up to ten feet of water, and it features a slim design with a body just 0.78 inches thick. It is designed to take photos in low light, so I guess it would be ideal for taking photos underwater, and it features a built-in ‘Aqua Mode’.
Advanced Features for Underwater Photography
The Samsung AQ100 features a twelve-megapixel sensor, which ensures high-resolution images, capturing fine details even in challenging conditions. The camera also boasts five times optical zoom, allowing users to get closer to their subjects without sacrificing image quality. Additionally, it has built-in digital image stabilization, which helps to reduce blur caused by camera shake, a common issue when shooting underwater.
On the back, there is a 2.7-inch TFT LCD display, which provides a clear and bright view of your shots, making it easier to frame and review your photos and videos. The display is designed to be visible even in bright sunlight, which is particularly useful when shooting outdoors or underwater.
Versatile Video Capabilities
The Samsung AQ100 is not just for still photography; it is also capable of recording HD video in 720p at a frame rate of thirty frames per second. This means you can capture smooth and high-quality video footage, whether you are above or below the water. The camera’s Smart Auto technology enhances its versatility by automatically recognizing different scenes and adjusting the settings accordingly, ensuring optimal results in both movies and still photos.
For those who enjoy snorkeling or diving, the AQ100’s Aqua Mode is a standout feature. This mode optimizes the camera’s settings for underwater photography, enhancing color and clarity to produce vibrant and sharp images. Whether you are capturing the vivid colors of coral reefs or the intricate details of marine life, the AQ100 is designed to deliver impressive results.
The Samsung AQ100 Compact Digital Camera will go on sale in the spring of 2010 for $19.99, and it will be available in a range of colors. This makes it an affordable option for those looking to explore underwater photography without breaking the bank. The camera’s compact size and lightweight design also make it easy to carry around, whether you are traveling, hiking, or enjoying a day at the beach.
In addition to its waterproof capabilities, the AQ100 is also designed to be durable and rugged, able to withstand the occasional bump or drop. This makes it a great choice for outdoor enthusiasts and adventure seekers who need a reliable camera that can keep up with their active lifestyle.
Overall, the Samsung AQ100 offers a compelling combination of features, performance, and affordability. Its waterproof design, high-resolution sensor, versatile video capabilities, and user-friendly features make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to capture stunning photos and videos both above and below the water.
