Samsung's drops six new digital cameras on us

They're more about cameraphones than cameras, but Samsung does actually have a line of proper standalone,
you-can't-make-a-call-with-them digital cameras, and word that they're adding six more to their line up has leaked out in advance of the big Photokina trade show which starts a few days from now (anyone going and want to send us back a field report?). Here's the dirt:

The flagship is the new seven megapixel Digimax V70, which has a 2.0-inch rotating LCD screen and can record MPEG-4 video clips.

The five megapixel Digimax A5 and six megapixel Digimax A6 (pictured above) are their new mid-range models. Both have 1.8-inch LCD screens and optical zoom lenses, though the press release we saw didn't mention how much zoom you're getting yourself into with either one (we assume, as always, 3x).

The four megapixel Digimax A400 (pictured at right) is their new entry-level camera, which has a 2-inch LCD screen, 2.8x optical zoom lens, and all the usual basic stuff.

The Digimax U-CA 505 (pictured at right) and the Digimax U-CA 501 both have a resolution of five megapixels, a 2.0-inch LCD screen, and can record video clips for as long as you have space on your memory card. Downside: no optical zoom lens, at least not as far as we can tell; the main difference between the 505 and the 501 seems to be in that the 505 has a silver casing and the 501 has a white casing. But we could be wrong.
