Samsung MV800

Samsung continues to create innovative consumer products, like their Dual-View cameras. Samsung has taken the ideals behind their Dual-View cameras and created the all new MV800. MV stands for Multi-View, and that’s the idea behind this sweet little pocket camera.

While the Dual-View cameras continue to be some of the most popular Samsung has made, the MV800 takes a slightly different direction. While still offering the ability to see yourself and your friends when pointing the camera towards you with one hand, instead of having to frame with a small LCD on the front, you now can use the huge flip-up 3.0-inch LCD display from the back of the camera. This unit tilts up only, giving you a nice, easy to see display for framing. The Dual-View cameras are handy none the less, however due to the lens on the front of these cameras, Samsung is always limited with the size of the front screen due to a lack in real estate. With the MV800′s design, that’s no longer an issue.

Other important features on this camera include a 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD display, an all metal body, App style GUI (similar to a modern day smart phone), 16-megapixels of resolution, a 5x optical zoom lens, Dual IS (optical + digital), additional shutter button on the rear when the 3.0-inch display is facing forward, etc.
