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).
__________
The Vega 290w is a versatile little camera that demonstrates how much Samsung had learned from the 'slim zooms' of a few years before. The lens has about seven focal lengths which are not identified. It has a powerful flash which varies in angle with focal length.
The LCD is on the back cover and provides modes for full auto, infinity focus, continuous shooting, spot focus, portraits, step zoom, snap focus (one zone), 2 second delay, and bulb. There are a range of flash modes, a choice of one or two frames on timer, the panorama feature and a date back with seven captions. The viewfinder is adjustable. The date back reverts to November 2004 when a battery is inserted. A note on the base reads "Made by Samsung" but does not say where.
