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 probably one of Samsung's more expensive cameras of the period. It has a very small LCD screen with even smaller icons, almost unreadable in low light. It has a 'B' setting which is uncommon in automatic cameras, and a date back which reverts to 1/1/98 when a battery is put in. The lens has about nine focal lengths which are shown on the LCD.
