Chronology of cameras Samsung 

Already present in the photography market since the late 1980s, the Samsung Group also had significant expertise in the consumer electronics sector by 2000. Consequently, Samsung quickly ventured into the development of digital cameras.
Unfortunately, the brand lacked recognition among photographers and was unable to generate significant interest in its camera models. Efforts to collaborate with established camera or lens manufacturers failed to achieve the desired results, as Samsung remained too focused on its own approach. Despite offering cameras with innovative features, sales never took off. In 2015, Samsung withdrew from the camera market, shifting its focus to smartphones (in addition to more traditional markets like home appliances).

This was known as the Ibex 3X in the USA. It is a large, high end camera with a wide variety of flash and shooting modes like the 'Slim' series of the early 1990's.

It also has a large LCD screen, the 'panorama' function, and date imprinting. The focal length in use is displayed on the LCD in 5 mm intervals
