Samsung comes with a competitor for the ultra-compact segment, the Digimax i5 priced at 250 pounds.

The thickness of this camera is only 17.3mm, a serious competitor for the slimmest digital camera on the market. With a resolution of 5 megapixels and a 3X optical zoom plus a 5X digital zoom, this camera is intended as an alternative for your holiday pocket camera. The case of the device comes in several colors: silver, black, red and shades of blue. Considering that this is the first ultra-slim model, Samsung did a pretty good job. Among the camera specifications, we mention: the SHD lens system which ensures sharp photos and the CCD that employs a primary color filtering technology for an accurate reproduction of colors.

The results can be viewed on the 2.5 inch LCD which offers enough space for framing, viewing and editing of the images and movies.

One of the vital functions of the camera is Safety Flash, a solution that deactivates flash triggering when the picture is taken inside eliminating in this way the "red eye" effect.

The camera can shoot VGA movies in MPEG-4 format at 30 frames per second. With a 256MB memory card, one can record maximum 2 hours and 10 minutes of movie with sound.
