Well, it looks like Samsung has learned a thing or two from all those KIRF cameras we've seen over the years, with its new 9-megapixel PL10 model packing a number of "multimedia" functions in addition to the usual picture-taking abilities. While there doesn't appear to be an e-book reader or any games to speak of, the camera will apparently handle your MP3s and video files with relative ease, and even let you whip up a quick slideshow set to the cheesy tune of your choice right on the camera. As for the camera itself, you'll have to make do without such niceties as an optical zoom, but you will get some face detection and digital image stabilization, as well as a decently-sized 2.7-inch LCD and, of course, your choice of five different colors. Look for this one to hit the UK in April for £179, or roughly $260.
Not a bad deal, now hopefully it comes in different colours.. or else people will start asking about my sexuality.
anyone who attaches a colour to sexuality is a child
It DOES have 3X Optical zoom, if you see the picture of it
i'm still waiting on the HX10W to be available :(
I suppose as manufacturers find it hard and harder to push the megapixels and zoom ranges any father, they're going to rely more and more on gimmicks to keep people "updating" their cameras regularly.
Big Whup. This was a lousy idea six years ago with the original Casio Exilim S1 "Card Camera."
They look cute :))
