Samsung PL90

The 12.2 megapixel Samsung PL90 features a built-in USB connector allowing you to capture images and upload them to your computer without the need for cords or cables. By simply plugging in your Samsung PL90, images can easily be uploaded, tagged and shared from anywhere in the world. Additionally, the Samsung PL90 automatically recharges when connected to a computer via its in-built USB, so no need for a battery charger to be taking up precious room in the suitcase!

The Samsung PL90 also features Samsung’s new Smart Auto (Still & Movie) technology, so whether you’re at a rock concert or the beach, the camera will automatically adjust its mode to instantly match the shooting environment and capture the perfect shot. In addition to this, the Samsung PL90 also features Samsung’s Perfect Portrait System. By tracking your face and alerting you with audible noise when you’re in frame, you can be confident that when you step out from behind the camera you’ll be the star in every shot.

Samsung ST80

The 14.2 megapixel Samsung ST80 features in-built Wi-Fi, High Definition (HD) video recording and a 3” LCD touch-screen that allows you to share all your images and videos with a few simple touches of the screen. The perfect companion for the savvy social networker, the Samsung ST80 lets you upload all your photos and videos directly to your favourite social networking sites such as Picassa, Facebook, YouTube or Photobucket by simply logging into a local network. Or, if you simply want to share your memories with a select few friends, you can scroll through your camera’s address book to email your special memories directly!

The intuitive Samsung ST80 also features Samsung’s AllShare™ technology, so you can effortlessly stream the pictures stored on your camera directly to DLNA compatible devices around your home, such as HDTVs and digital photo frames, adding an extra dimension to the photo sharing experience.  The Samsung ST80 takes cropping in a new direction with Smart Crop. This innovative feature lets you snap photos on an angle and then crop them in camera so that they are level. Simply select four points on the image and the Samsung ST80 adjusts the image accordingly.
