Samsung’s got some minor camera updates before CES-the WB700, a skinny point and shoot with a gigantic lens that’s a sequel to this camera , and the NX11, a successor to Samsung’s Micro Four Thirds fighter, the mirrorless, lens-swappable NX10 .
The NX11 is solely like Samsung’s last camera -the specs are identical, with 14.6-megapixel sensor, 3-inch AMOLED display and 720p video-but moves all of image control buttons directly to the lens, which Samsung thinks is more logical. It’s $650.
The WB700 tries to drag off the trick of being tiny while packing an 18x zoom lens and shooting 16-megapixel photos and 1080p video-not bad for a $300 compact camera. [ Samsung ]
