Samsung launch the WB110 bridge camera, 20 megapixels with 26x optical zoom

Samsung's recent fascination with mating consumer cameras with Android, isn't coming in the way of its regular camera lineup. The company just unveiled WB110, a mainstream high-zoom point-and-shooter. It succeeds last year's WB100 by tossing out the 16-megapixel sensor for a 20.2-megapixel CCD one; but retains the 26X optical zoom, which the 22.3 mm ultra-wide angle lens brings to the table.

Sensitivity of the WB110 caps out at ISO 3,200, the camera features OIS and DIS image stabilization. As a point-and-shooter, it lacks a viewfinder, but offers a 3-inch LCD display with 480 x 320 pixels resolution. All images are written in the JPEG format (with quality settings), while videos, which are captured a 720p, are written in common MP4 (MPEG4, AVC/H.264). The camera features AV (composite) and HDMI 1.4a outputs. Data is stored on SDHC/SDXC, a maximum of 64 GB is supported. The camera needs four AA-type batteries. Measuring 114.48 x 79.26 x 86.45 mm, it dry-weighs about 385 g. Samsung didn't reveal pricing.
