Introduction:
Now amplify you image capturing field to underwater! The new Samsung AQ 100 is a highly stylish and eye-catching model with all the implementation abilities of an ultra-modern camera. Moreover it offers you freedom to move underwater for capturing stunning images. The 12.2 megapixel images captured by AQ 100 present you with immense details of the captured sceneries.

Details:
The Samsung AQ 100 is blessed with the ability to survive underwater to a depth of 10 feet. However this ability has not came at the cost of its normal ease of operation. At a price less than $ 200, the new Samsung AQ 100 present us brilliant feature-combo.

The camera design is intended for acquiring a compact body structure that can be handled comfortably. The camera is slim with the left side elevated slightly, just above the lens, which looks like “an eye with raised eye-brow”. The camera is made available in four striking color tones for effortless recognition of controls below water.

The 2.7” LCD screen fixed at the back side is immovable and thus assists the camera design in maintaining its slenderness by saving the extra needed space. The LCD also helps the user by choosing appropriate brightness in the picture. In a sense we can call the Samsung AQ 100 really smart image capturer. One rarely comes across a waterproof camera that has ability of HD video recording. It is more difficult to find such a camera with ultra-compact body design. The new Samsung AQ 100 has managed in combining all of these in it.

If we are using a camera underwater, it is obvious that we are more vulnerable to camera shaking while capturing images or videos. Even under normal conditions, beautiful images may be spoiled due to simple reasons such as shaky hands, slight rattle, etc. The manufacturers of AQ 100 have already thought of these difficulties and provided it with, OIS (optical image stabilization) mechanism accompanied by advanced DIS (digital image stabilization) algorithm. This ensures your amazing and rare images do not get blurred or distorted just due to a slight shake.

With the new AQ 100 imaging is not done only by capturing a scene as it is! The smart filter lens effect in AQ 100 can put some identity effects into the images to appear them absolutely striking. It also offers few innovative effects such as miniature, vignetting and fish eye, which simply enhance the original impact of the image.

Finally the price of the device! Samsung AQ is priced around $ 200. One can easily find ultracomapct, feature rich cameras in the high price range. However, we see, that the new Samsung AQ has been offered at a price that is “not so high”!

Bottom Line:
Samsung AQ 100 is not just another slim and stylish camera. It manages combining most of the contrasting pairs such as price-quality, performance-slimness and so on. Built with 5X optical zoom lens, the Samsung AQ 100 delivers 12.2 megapixel image resolutions. It also features 2.7” view LCD screen and 720p HD video mode. Most importantly, the camera is dust free and waterproof up to 10 feet depth. With inclusion of so many features, the camera is surprisingly priced at around $ 180-190.

The overall rating for the camera is 4.5/5.
