The usual disclaimers apply here. Photos were taken handheld under non-scientific conditions. All I can say is that you should look at the EXIF data for some comparisons on sensitivity. I found the sensitivity to be very good but image clarity/sharpness a little lacking. Obviously I can’t draw any conclusions with a 30 minute hands-on but I’m posting the images for you anyway.
Originals have been uploaded to Flickr where the EXIF is easier to read.
Hands-on video and more here.
Samsung just presented their new range of Windows 8 devices. You’ve already seen the new Series 7 Slate and the Series 5 Touch but Samsung also announced that the Series 9 will get WIndows 8. No surprises there. The disappointing news is that it won’t have a touchscreen.
Samsung also say that the system has been re-optimised, something that you’d expect anyway when a new OS is available.
It’s no surprise that we’re seeing the first next-generation smart camera from Samsung today. Announced just minutes ago the Samsung Galaxy Camera is everything you imagine. Android powered, 3G/4G capable and offering F2.8 minimum F-stop, 16mp sensor and an amazing, 21x zoom lens.
The Android system is fully powered too with a quad-core procesor running at 1.4Ghz, 8GB of internal space and 4.8” touchscreen. To top it off, the Galaxy Camera will run the latest version of Android – 4.1 Jelly Bean.
Thanks to all that turned up for the live review yesterday evening. We spent 2hrs testing the Samsung Series 9 15” and got some good work done. We’ve found some good stuff, and some not so good stuff. Videos and summary below.

Session is over. Information and videos available here.
Tonight, at 2100 CEST (your timezone here) I’ll be testing the Samsung Series 9 15” ultrabook with the new Ivy Bridge upgrade. It’s a stunning bit of kit but will it stand up to two hours of scrutiny? You can join in, watch the stream, chat and guide the review process by joining us here or via the ‘live’ tab up top.
The Samsung Series 5 has always been a well-priced, well balanced Ultrabook and it’s soon to be available in an Ivy Bridge variant. Later in the year we’re going to see Windows 8 upgrades and, according to reports from the show floor at Computex, with a touchscreen.
Laptopmag have had hands-on and there’s a video below. We’re told that it booted from cold in 8 seconds! See below.
