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 camera is the result of a multi national collaboration. The body was designed in Italy, the workings by Samsung in Korea, the lens by Schneider Kreuznach in Germany and then it was all put together in China. It is a complex and quite expensive camera but it is no Ferrari. The body has been forced into a curved shape which is awkward to hold, and the flash hangs like an eye that has fallen out of its socket. It has a large LCD which is illuminated brightly when the settings are changed. It was sold with a fabric case decorated with gold coloured thread.
