The Samsung L73 is the latest digital camera on the block and boasts of a comprehensive feature set! The L73 is a pocket-sized point and shoot featuring a 7 mega pixel image sensor and a precision 3x optical zoom lens. For enhanced performance, Samsung has also incorporated Smart Touch technology which uses two sets of pressure sensitive buttons to quickly access the camera’s controls.

The L73 is outfitted with a 2.5” TFT LCD screen and is housed in a black or silver finish. Samsung has also thrown in their proprietary Intelligent Face Recognition Technology, which is known to "detects the subject’s face, automatically adjusts auto focus and auto exposure to ensure better composition and image quality in portraits, and other shots featuring people."

For combatting the dreaded camera shake, the L73 sports the Samsung’s proprietary ASR image stabilization system which reduces image blur during longer exposures. The Wise Shot feature also kicks in and can take two consecutive pictures in rapid succession - one with ASR image stabilization enabled, and one with the flash.

The now mandatory Movie Mode is also seen on the L73 and the camera is capable of recording footage one of four resolutions, from 320x240 to 800x600, at up to 30 frames per second in AVI (MPEG-4) format. Those interested in high-speed photography should be happy to know that the L73 has shutter speeds of up to 1/2000 sec. The camera includes a built-in microphone which allows a 10-second voice memo to be attached to any still image and the on board Motion Timer can take a self timed picture.

The Samsung L73 comes bundled with applications like; Samsung’s Digimax Master software (compatible with Windows 98/2000/ME/XP and Macintosh OS X 9.2 through 10.4), and has an internal memory of 19 megabytes. No word on pricing or availability.
