Samsung Introduces New Digimax A6 Camera

The A6 is the first member of the Digimax "A Series", and one of several new compact, digital point and shoots introduced in the U.S. market by Samsung in advance of the holiday season.





Offering superb image quality, an extremely robust feature set and a highly-intuitive graphical user interface (GUI), the A6 combines all the best features that digital imaging has to offer in a sleek, compact and stylish package. With an approximate street price of just $349, the A6 puts all of these features well within reach of even the most budget-conscious consumer this holiday season.

The Samsung Digimax A6 is a midrange point and shoot in price only, as it comes equipped with a wide range of the most technologically advanced and cutting-edge features available on the market. In combining a 6.0-mexapixel CCD sensor with a Samsung High-Definition (SHD) lens, the A6 delivers images of unsurpassed quality. Users are presented with 10 different scene modes (Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow and Text) from which to choose in creating the perfect shot, as well as a choice between fully automatic, aperture priority, shutter priority and fully manual shooting modes. The 4cm Macro setting allows for extreme close-up photography for those wishing to explore the artistic properties of surfaces, textures and other subject matter.

The Samsung Digimax A6 also features an innovative Power Movie Clip function that allows users to shoot high quality VGA video clips. Power Movie Clip provides unmatched flexibility and creative control in allowing the user to shoot at either 30 FPS or 15 FPS of VGA quality video.

In addition, the camera enables users to shoot and store video clips in one of three different sizes (640x480, 320x240 and 160x120). Finally, Power Movie Clip offers the ability to pause, fast forward and/or rewind the video right on the camera.
