Now that the weather is warming up, camera manufacturers are bringing us their latest waterproof digital cameras and camcorders. Samsung's new W200 Pocket Cam records video in full HD at 30fps, has a 5 megapixel BSI (Back Side Illuminated) CMOS sensor for digital stills, and touts a F2.2 Bright Lens. All of this is housed in an ultra-rugged shock, water and dust-proof body.
Waterproof up to three meters, the W200 features an anti-water drop coating keeping the 2.3-inch LCD screen condensation-free, and an anti-fog coating on the lens allows for blur-free videos/pictures. Recording underwater video is easy too - the cameras' "Aqua Mode" setting automatically sets the ideal parameters.
Additional features include "Record Pause," which allows you to pause during filming then resume where you left off, with the footage kept in one file so you don't have to merge them when finished. Two Smart Filters are also on the device: Vignetting fades the edges and Fish-Eye gives your footage an arty, distorted feel. A handy built-in USB arm is included for easy uploading.
The Samsung W200 will be available in May for $159.
