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 Digimax S500 is an entry level camera of the time. It has a zoom range which is a couple of degrees 'wider' than many of its competitors at 35 mm (equivalent), and a 'manual' mode which allows the user to change most of the parameters of the photograph, except the auto focus. In particular it enables the shutter speed to be set in 1/2 stop intervals between 8 seconds and 1/1500 second, and a choice o two apertures, 2,8 and 7,1. It offers only one frame shape, 4:3.
