New Samsung camera

It seems Samsung has listened to my cries for "cameras which look like machines", they are releasing a camera with two analogue gauges! The gauges give an approximate readout of remaining battery life and card capacity. Looking at them I'd say quite approximate, but hey, they look kool.

  1. I like Samsung's camera designs. This one also has a rare 24mm wide angle and world's first OLED megapixel display (super-extra bright and consuming much less power than LCD). Too bad Samsung can't make nice pictures with those cameras... (yet)

  2. ¿Did I buy my digis too early?

  3. 1999 was too early. The Coolpix I bought then (700) was crap. A sub-1MP camera, even per pixel it was crap. And a dynamic range like an octogenarian on a cold morning.

  4. Whats about a flash-back to a Full-frame-Sharp-Eyed Camera from Analogsistan-1993, the Nikon 35TI I've shown here:

    It's the same nostalgic idea from 16 years ago with Captain Nemo's futuristic design :-)

  5. Ah yes, I remember lusting for that camera so badly back then. Unemployed at the time though.

    The similar Contax models were also wonderful.
