SYDNEY, NSW: Samsung Australia has unveiled an extensive line-up of new digital cameras. Seven new product ranges will be available from April, with models to suit both amateur and professional photographers.
“You can never anticipate a great moment but Samsung’s new digital still camera range ensures you will have the right product to capture it when it does occur,” said Sagar Dave, Digital AV marketing manager, Samsung Australia.

The new line-up from Samsung includes:
