One strange feature of the camera is the world tour Guide function that provides travel information on 4500 regions in 30 countries.
This information is supposed to help you plan a trip, personally I don't see someone going to the camera for information on an area they are traveling in unless a computer is no where to be found. The i85 measures in at 3.74” x 2.42” x 0.8” and carries an MSRP of $349. Via Samsung and I4U News

The New Samsung GX-1S
LetsGoDitial has reviewed the new Samsung GX-1S, a new 6.1 megapixel digital SLR.Quote: "Samsung have taken a wise decision by keeping the bayonet identical to that of Pentax. As a result, the Samsung can also be equipped with Pentax lenses, even the very old ones, although it should be said that this will cause a slight loss of functionality, which means you will eventually lose out on a certain degree of user convenience."
"The Samsung GX-1S is delivered as a kit with a Schneider Kreuznach D-Xenon 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens, which looks suspiciously much like the kit lens that comes with the Pentax models. Either way, it offers an attractive range, which is the equivalent of 28-84mm with a 35mm camera. The focal length multiplier is 1.5x, which is the same as that of the Nikon digital SLR cameras. We had the opportunity to submit the Samsung GX-1S to some extensive testing during a longer period of time. The results can be read in the following Samsung GX-1S digital SLR review. "

Three New Samsung Cameras
Samsung recently announced their three newest cameras, all in the NV series. All black, sleek, and in the multi-hundred dollar zone, these cameras are sure something to catch your attention. First up is the NV7 OPS (pictured), with a 7x zoom and 7.2 megapixels. The NV7 has such increasingly-standard features as optical picture stabalization and shake reduction. The NV7 has a price of 299 pounds ($550).Sporting a wider gap between zoom and resolution, there's the NV10, a 10 megapixel camera with only a 3x zoom. It has nearly all the same features as the NV7 and carries a retail price of 279 pounds ($512). Finally, the other new Samsung camera is the NV3, the cheapest of the bunch at 229 pounds ($420). It's got a fairly respectable 7.2 megapixels, but what's special about this one is that it has a built-in music and video player, giving the viewfinder screen a much needed functionality facelift.
