Design, function, and innovation best describes Samsung’s latest ultra compact point and shoot
camera, the Samsung MV800. This black beauty has just debuted at IFA 2011 and what makes
theSamsung MV800 stand out from the pack, is that it isn’t just your average point and shoot camera.
It features a 3.0” wide flip-out capacitive touchscreen display, that is ideal for taking pictures when you
find yourself in precarious situations and unable to take that great shot. The flip-out screen allows you
to get a whole new visual perspective, which is especially great at concerts or other types of events,
that sometimes leaving you shooting your camera aimlessly just hoping to get a good pic.
Tilt the flip-out screen and get the money shoot you wouldn’t have usually gotten with a traditional
digital point and shoot camera. Samsung’s DualView technology is also included in the MV800 for
taking pictures of yourself or friends without having to ask strangers in the street to take pictures of
you. Now you can be in the front and the back of the lens and see everything on the 3.0″ screen.

2. But besides for its cool design aesthetic, the Samsung MV800 camera features 16.1 megapixels , a
5x optical zoom and a 26mm wide-angle lens. The icing on the cake is the Smart Touch 3.0 user
interface. That’s right, the same great user interface you love on your Samsung Smart TV is now
being presented here on the MV800. Drag and scroll through menu options to launch features with
only the touch of your finger. It doesn’t look exactly like the Samsung Smart TV interface, but its ease
of use and approachability is very similar.
We spent some time with the MV800 and one thing is for sure, Samsung might have struck gold with
this camera. Its petite size and excellent picture quality along with ease of use should make it a
winner among many consumers. It’s pretty light in the palm of your hand and the brushed steel black
body makes it the perfect compliment for a night out on the town. The addition of the smart apps just
adds the perfect touch to an all around compact, yet powerful camera.
Pricing and availability is TBD.
