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 little camera came in several colours, and the silver version is particulary attractive. It has the unusual option, in an entry level compact, of a 'manual mode' to set the full range of shutter speeds at half stop intervals, and a choice of aperture at 2,8 or 8,9. (It also has the usual exposure compensation) Unfortunately, it has so many 'features' that it becomes a little complex to navigate them all. It is a pity it was not provided with a wide angle lens/sensor combination. The original battery is an SLB-10A.
