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 is a remarkable little camera. It has every feature of the period including multiple flash modes, spot focus, two frames on timer, continuous shooting, interval shooting, remote release, portrait zoom, continuous sports focusing, step zoom, viewfinder adjustment, snap (fixed) focus, panorama feature, infinity focus, a date back and captions; it does not allow multiple exposures on one frame and it doesn't make coffee!
Unfortunately the zoom has a mind of its own and is a little difficult to control. It has 10 focal lengths identified on the LCD, but some intermediate positions also seem possible.
