Samsung digital cameras

Samsung – does not disappoint yet again with a slew of new product announcements this CES, and among them are the CL80 and TL240 digital cameras. Both of them feature 14.2-megapixels of shooting goodness, and are armed with a wide range of features without looking out of place. While the CL80 comes with built-in Wi-Fi connectivity alongside a 3.7′ WVGA AMOLED touchscreen display, the TL240 will have a smaller 3.5′ touchscreen. You will find that both cameras are able to fit into your pockets pretty nicely, measuring just 0.77′ thin. While we do not have pricing details on both digital cameras, we do know that the Samsung CL80 will be released in spring, while the TL240 has a more definite February roll out date.

2010 Subaru Impreza WRX STI Special Edition

2010-Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI-Special-Edition-Front-Angle-View-588x441
The 2010 WRX STI Special Edition suspension is adopted from the Japanese domestic market WRX STI spec C model, which adds a 1-millimeter thicker rear stabilizer bar, stiffer rear sub-frame bushings plus upgraded and retuned springs. The front springs are 16-percent stiffer, while the rear shocks have been stiffened by 29-percent. Available in early Spring of 2010, the first 125 units of the 2010 WRX STI Special Edition will be painted in exclusive Aspen White, set off by the charcoal-colored 18 x 8.5 in. 14-spoke alloy wheels from the JDM WRX STI spec C. The WRX STI Special Edition will then become a regular production model later in 2010, available in standard colors. Compared with the standard 2010 WRX STI, the WRX STI Special Edition features halogen rather than HID headlights; a single-disc CD player / 4-speaker audio system instead of the 6-CD /10-speaker system; manual air conditioning in place of automatic climate control, and body color side mirrors. All other aspects of the WRX STI Special Edition remain as on the standard model, including the 305-horsepower / 290 lb.-ft. turbocharged/intercooled Boxer engine, 6-speed manual transmission and a high level of driver-selectable powertrain- and dynamic handling-control systems. The car’s bulged fenders and rear quarter panels, rear gate-mounted spoiler and aerodynamic ground effects give the WRX STI a direct link to Subaru competition cars. The hood scoop, brake-cooling air intakes and engine heat outlets are all functional.

The Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) version of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive, which remains exclusive to the Impreza WRX STI, offers three selectable automatic performance modes in addition to six manual center differential locking settings. The WRX STI is in addition equipped with limited-slip front and rear differentials. The Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) stability and traction control system features three driver-selectable positions. On all WRX STI models, the 18-in. wheels are fitted with Dunlop SP600 245/40R18 tires. The Brembo Performance Brake System employs ventilated 4-wheel Super Sport anti-lock (ABS) disc brakes with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD). Side-curtain airbags and front seat side airbags are standard. The Incline Start Assist feature can momentarily prevent the vehicle from rolling backward when being driven away from a stop on an incline.

Samsung NX10 digital camera

pma-09-samsung-nx-concept

Samsung attemps to light up CES 2010 with another digital camera offering in the form of the NX10, where despite coming in a sleek and compact body, it is able to offer users optimum image quality to help you capture creative shots without any compromise in portability. Being this effective is made possible thanks to a fast and decisive auto focus (AF), 14.6-megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor and a special, large 3.0” AMOLED screen, enabling avid shutterbugs to view their images easily despite being under bright sunlight. Sometimes, however, photos don’t tell the whole story (or have a thousand word limit according to tradition), which is why video recording comes in handy as well, with the NX10 being full well capable of handling HD movie recording without missing a beat. Boasting one of the fastest AF in its class on the market, this claim is made possible courtesy of Samsung’s new DRIMe II Pro engine and advanced AF algorithm. Basically, the Samsung NX10 might look like a standard digital camera on the outside, but within it lies the heart of a DSLR, thanks to a successful integration of the APS-C size CMOS sensor with a mirrorless interchangeable lens which results in a sleek, lightweight camera that can be carried around anywhere and everywhere without spraining that shoulder of yours.

All HD movie recording will be performed in the H.264 codec for a wider range of playback compatibility. Other features available on the Samsung NX10 aim to help you be a better shutterbug thanks to its integrated technology, featuring in-depth manual controls, a Smart Auto function that is capable of selecting the best shooting mode, a Smart Range feature which lets you express bright and dark areas simultaneously within the same frame, and a Supersonic Dust Reduction system that prevents dust particles from impairing the image.
