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).

 

__________

Samsung didn't arrive in the French photo market until the end of the 1980's, provoking questions about the quality of its cameras.

This nice well finished model has a double self timer and a delay interval of 1, 10 or 30 minutes.

There are two liveries for this camera, one predominantly black, more masculine, and one more feminine in ivory with gold trim.

It has a number of modes including two exposures on timer, continuous shooting and a 'B' setting. This one also has a date back which may have been standard.
