Samsung Digimax i8

The Samsung i8 is a multimedia digital camera supporting various functions other than shooting, such as watching movies through the PMP, MP3 music playback, travel information and text viewer. The design inspiration was a smooth round pebble, and hence you want to feel it in your hand.

A Samsung i8 is as ultra small as a business card, but it provides excellent camera capabilities. 8 Mega pixels with a high definition image sensor is fitted, and the optical 3x zoom inner lens method enables one to get shooting ready without any sound when turning on the power. A 2.7in (6.86cm) high definition LCD is also used, and shows images which have been shot.

 SVGA size video recording is possible, and the optical zoom can be used while recording. When video recording, useful functions such as pause, shot continuity and partial file extraction are provided and are handy for making UCC’s.

This product has optimized camera shake correction using an enforced image processing technology. Shaking is minimized in shooting situations where there is a poor light source, through the support of the ISO 1600, which is high speed sensitivity shooting. The DIS (Digital Image Stabilization) function, Samsung’s unique technology, can display natural colours in a dark environment without using the flash.

A variety of further functions are provided: A Photo Style Selector function enables one to shoot various selected styles of pictures as they are in preview mode. A Colour Filter function turns unwanted areas into a black and white tone. A Smart Tools function can achieve various fun pictures in an environment without a PC and satisfies the creative nature of photography. An easy menu configuration with a flash animation GUI method and a multi-slide show function, which enables the users to enjoy pictures while listening to background music, are also installed. The Samsung  i8 supports a built-in 195MB memory card, MMC, SC and SDHC memory cards. The size of the product is 90.7 X 58 X 19.9 mm.
