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 very well made plastic camera. It is of interest for two reasons; (a) it was one of Samsung's first cameras, and (b) It has an early version of 'panorama' using a mask inserted into the film plane. The viewfinder has bright line frames for 36 x 24 mm and 36 x 13 mm. The flash and the timer are turned on by buttons on the front. The lens is lightly colour coated.
