While more and more people are using their smartphone cameras in place of a dedicated point-and-shoot devices -- Apple’s iPhone 4 has become the most popular camera on photo sharing website Flickr -- there is still a big market for such cameras, especially for devices that provide advanced on-board features, sharing and editing options.  Samsung is hoping that the ability to directly upload pictures to photo- and video-sharing sites such as Facebook, Picasa and YouTube will convince consumers to opt for its new DV300F.
The DV300F point-and-shoot camera slots itself into Samsung’s 2View/DualView range (which also includes the PL170, PL120, ST600 and ST700) but is the first 2View model to offer WiFi connectivity.
Spec-wise the camera features a 16 Megapixel resolution, a 5x optical zoom, a 1.5” front-facing display and a 3” display at the rear, and 25mm wide-angle lens. There are also plenty of built-in editing options including ‘Magic Frame,’ picture-within-a-picture, Funny Face modes, Split Shot, Artistic Brush, and Motion Photo (freeze frame around a moving subject while everything else remains still) effects.
The DV300F is just one of many products Samsung will unveil during the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January. The camera is expected to arrive in March for $199.
