Samsung CL80 Digital Camera Revealed

Tweet

Samsung has shown off their new CL80 digital camera, which is WiFi enabled. The camera will be in the middle-to-high end gadget market, and will carry a 14-megapixel sensor. On the back, the camera comes with a large touchscreen, and the CL80 is even WiFi enabled.

The touchscreen measures out to 3.7-inches, and the other features of the CL80 include optical image stabilization, 720p HD video recording (in H.264), and 7x optical zoom. As for the connectivity, you have either a microSD slot or a USB port. A HDMI port enables the transfer of the HD video to a larger screen.

With the WiFi, if you are in a hotspot, your camera can automatically publish your pictures to Facebook, Flickr, Photobox or Picasa, or to YouTube, regarding video. It would be nice if the pictures would automatically beam themselves to your home hard drive – but the photosharing sites are practically the same thing these days. No information pricing or a release date, with more information expected to surface at CES next month.
