Samsung Electronics has announced at least 5 new digital cameras at CES 2007 including the flagship model of its prosumer S-Series, the Samsung S1050, a "chart topper in both resolution, quality and style."

The camera boasts of a 10.1 megapixel image sensor, 5x optical zoom and a 3-inch LCD, higher than most standard digital cameras of late. It also supports shutter speeds of up to 1/2000 sec and ISO of up to 1600.

Other features include image stabilization, Wise shot (camera will take two consecutive pictures in rapid succession with different settings and will allow you to choose the best one), a dedicated effects button, and various shooting modes (Children, Backlight and Portrait). Video capture isn't that spectacular with only VGA resolution at 20fps.

One great feature however is its versatile options for powering the device. The S1050 runs on AA alkaline batteries or an optional Ni-MH rechargeable battery. It would be best to purchase the optional battery and then carry along a set of alkaline batteries as backup.

The S1050 has 45MB of Internal memory and can accept Secure Digital (SD) cards of up to 4GB.

This digital camera will hit stores in spring of 2007 and will retail for $349. Samsung says they will make it available in silver or black.
