Samsung has announced two new entry-level cameras in its S-series line, the S760 and S860, offering resolutions of 7.2 and 8.1 megapixels, respectively. Both models offer digital image stabilization, face detection technology (which, in this case, not only attempts to identify and set focus and exposure for faces in the frame, but only allows a photo to be taken if the subject is centered), and a 3× optical zoom. Both cameras also feature an “E” button, that offers instant access to creative image manipulations, from adjusting brightness and contrast to fixing red-eye and converting to sepia or negative without using a computer.
