The Samsung Digimax L55W on paper is an impressive camera, with a wide-angle 4.8x optical zoom lens, a wide-aspect ratio photo mode and an impressive wide-aspect ratio 2.8″ screen the camera is very appealling.

However, image quality was generally slightly disappointing, especially when it came to the high levels of purple fringing when photos contained trees or other high contrast areas.

Samsung Camera widens its range even further with the release of the Digimax L55W a 5 mega-pixel, 4.8x zoom digital camera with wide-angle capabilities

Samsung Camera has announced that the company will release a 5 mega-pixel, 4.8x optical zoom digital camera (model name: DIGIMAX L55W) later this year marking Samsungs entry into the market for compacts with a high zoom.

Wide angle -get the whole picture
Most regular compact digital cameras have a 3x optical zoom, the DIGIMAX L55W has a 4.8x optical zoom offering a focusing range of 28mm-135mm (35mm equivalent). The 28mm wide-angle lens provides a far wider field of vision than a regular camera, allowing you to capture sweeping landscapes or to fit a group of subjects into just one frame. The DIGIMAX L55W is a unique advanced digital camera that supports both 28mm wide-angle and 4.8x telephoto zoom, extending the range of options available to the photographer.

Wide view - see your shots bright and sharp
For the first time ever, a 2.8″wide TMR LCD is adopted by Samsung Camera for the DIGIMAX L55W, enhancing your photography with a wider and larger display. This 2.8″wide LCD allows you to view in 16:9 and 4:3 aspect ratios. The LCD display of the DIGIMAX L55W uses TMR (Transmissive with Micro Reflective) technology to maintain balanced light, even in bright outdoor environments. The 160 degrees of wide viewing angle LCD display delivered by the DIGIMAX L55W provides a more comfortable image-viewing, and sharing, experience. With its high contrast ratio the TMR LCD display offers a clearer and brighter display image. Colours are represented better by the LCD’s ability to reproduce 16.7 million true colours.
