Press release
Samsung Electronics America, Inc., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, added a 12 megapixel point and shoot to its digital camera lineup for 2010: the waterproof AQ100. The AQ100 grants peace of mind and allows you to focus on taking the perfect shot, rather than worrying about damage to the camera.
Offering extraordinary capabilities, the slim (0.78″ thick) AQ100 was developed for use in up to 10 feet of water and thanks to the camera’s exceptional low-light performance, it’s capable of taking bright images at that depth. Whether taking photos of friends and family in the pool or a school of fish while snorkeling in the ocean, users will benefit from the AQ100’s dedicated Aqua mode, which will optimize camera settings for the best possible underwater photos.
A powerful camera on land or in water, the AQ100 boasts an ample, 5x optical inner zoom lens complete with Digital Image Stabilization to help reduce blurry images. Additionally, the AQ100 features a bright, 2.7 inch TFT-LCD screen for framing and reviewing images.
The AQ100 will be available in spring 2010 for $199.
In addition to taking beautiful still images, consumers can also record impressive 720p HD video above or below the water. The AQ100 offers image stabilization while recording video and for complete simplicity, it has Smart Auto (Still & Movie) scene recognition technology which fine tunes both video and picture settings for the best possible results. All the users have to do is point and shoot.
