Samsung MV900F

Samsung MV900F (Preview)

The Samsung MV900F is a compact point-and-shoot camera featuring full touchscreen controls, an rear LCD that articulates to face completely forward, and advanced features such as built-in WiFi and gesture controls. The MV900F follows up on last year's MV800, featuring a very similar design and user interface. The camera also benefits from a new, improved lens design, coupling a 5x optical zoom with a fast maximum aperture of f/2.5. The ultra-thin camera is set to debut in August for an MSRP of $349.99, with North America receiving white and black colors at launch. Side-by-side, the MV900F and last year’s MV800 are not all that different. Both are sleek, thin little pocket cameras that are light on physical controls (and weight), can travel with you just about anywhere, with modern, minimalist designs. Most importantly, the MV900F retains the key feature of the “Multi View” series, which is the ability of the rear LCD to flip out from the back of the camera up to 180 degrees, facing forward toward your subject. Compared to the MV800 the screen is now a slightly larger (3.3 inches vs. 3 inches) WVGA AMOLED display, but otherwise retains similar specs. The MV900F (and the MV800 that preceded it) both are a continuation of the DualView design that Samsung pioneered in their older point-and-shoot cameras.
