avinersan, 29 Sep 2009 They plan to become the top digital camera maker by 2010 a... moreweak ? Samsung was the 1st to put a small screen on the front panel to take a precise snapshot of yourself or with someone in that matter. how can you say Samsung is weak, they out took Sony as the largest consumer products maker few years ago. may i remind you Samsung is the worlds largest LCD and OLED maker, Worlds largest flash memory maker, 2nd largest semi conductor, 2nd largest consumer product maker and not only that, Samsung has other sectors which are construction of skyscrapers and weapon technology.

            It sure does have a scary lookalike to the SE Satio which was announced long before this one, and i'm quite sure Samsung ripped of the Satio design, but anyway, good work Samsung with the digital zoom, always a pioneer.

                        this is very cool but i would not carry around this brick. I preffer a smartphone AND a slim decent, and more important, REAL camera with real adjustments and all the good stuff + more battery. 5MP carl zeiss is enough for casual photos.

                                      Where is Samsung Dig, 29 Sep 2009A perusal of one top camera review site under their 5 star ... moreLOL. Market share doesn't count on what digital camera review web sites are 'reviewing'. It's the sales volume that matters. In 2008 Samsung had 10.4% market share which makes them ranked 3rd next to Sony. In 2009 they are hoping for 12.5% market share. For your kind information, Canon's market share is 20% and Sony's, 17%.
                                      In 2006 Samsung more than doubled its digital market share and was fifth-best-selling digital camera maker (after Canon, Sony, Kodak, and Olympus). In 2007 they managed to grab the 3rd place leaving behind Olympus and Kodak. They plan to become the top digital camera maker by 2010 and Reuters have reported that big names like Canon and Nikon are worried about Samsung’s big push into the digital camera market. So lets not underestimate them.
