Samsung S73 Overview

The Samsung S73 Digital Camera is a sleek and pocket-sized digital point-and-shoot camera with a capture resolution of 7.2 megapixels producing detailed photos for printing up to poster size prints without the loss of image details. It is also equipped with a precision 3x optical zoom lens and a 5x digital zoom feature providing a 15x total zoom when combined.

In addition the S73 features Samsung's proprietary ASR image stabilization system to help reduce camera shake and image blur during longer exposures and in situations where holding the camera steady is impossible.

The camera's ergonomic body design delivers comfort and a steady hold for better shots. The S73 has a 2.5" TFT color LCD display that is bright and clear which makes it easy to line up shots and to review them after shooting.

7.2 Megapixel Resolution
The Samsung S73 can produce images with 7.2 megapixels of resolution, enabling you to print detailed pictures at larger sizes - even poster size prints - without detail loss.
3x Optical Zoom Lens
The high quality Samsung NV Lens provides 3x optical zoom, and produces images that are incredibly sharp and bright. The camera is also capable of providing digital zoom up to 5x for a total combined zoom of 15x that will allow you to capture details from far away.
Advanced Shake Reduction (ASR)
ASR reduces the effects of camera shake in low light conditions and macro shooting. Flash photography can sometimes result in harsh, over-exposed images, but ASR guarantees bright, crisp and natural images without using a flash at all.
High Sensitivity
The Samsung S73 has the ability to provide a sensitivity level of up to ISO 1600, thereby enabling you to take clearer indoor pictures in poor light without camera shake or image blur.
Convenient Mode Dial
The Mode Dial makes it easier to get great shots with instant access to appropriate modes and puts Auto, Manual, Video, Scene, ASR, Night and Portrait modes just a touch away.
11 Scene Modes
You have a choice of scene modes to help you get the perfect shot in any situation. By automatically adjusting the camera's setting according to the situation, you can be sure of getting great pictures effortlessly. The scene modes provided are Night Scene, Portrait, Children, Landscape, Text, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach and Snow.
Creative Color Modes
You can get creative with your photos by using one of the color modes that include normal, black & white, sepia, red, blue, green & negative colors.
Auto Macro Capability
The Auto Macro mode of the L73 can provide beautifully sharp focus as close as 2.0" (5cm) to the subject, allowing you to photograph the delicate detail of a flower or show of the brilliance of a jewelry item to sell on e-Bay.
Internal and Expandable Memory
The camera is equipped with 16 megabytes of internal memory so there is no need for a memory card to take pictures. The camera memory is also expandable to much higher capacities using Secure Digital (SD) flash memory cards (also compatible with MMC and SDHC cards).
Comfortable and Durable Design
This compact camera is designed to fit comfortably in any hand and is made with a durable aluminum alloy that has been treated to form a lustrous surface that is pleasing to the touch.
2.5" Color LCD Display
The bright and vivid 2.5" TFT color LCD screen is easy to view - even in bright sunlight or a darkened banquet hall. Plus the high resolution of the display means that you can view your images with stunning detail and the graphical elements of the user interface are easy to identify.
The "E" Button
The Effects or "E" Button allows users to easily access a slew of creative effects that are available right in the camera. You can do basic editing functions like crop your image or adjust colors, use creative color effects like sepia or negative (inverted colors), or use one of the fun effect in the camera such as composite images or add photo frames that are appropriate for many occasions.
Powered by Common AA Batteries
The camera is powered by common AA-size (LR6) batteries that can be purchased at any store, so you don't need to worry about running out of power or recharging batteries - simply get new ones locally. The camera also works incredibly well with cost effective rechargeable AA Size NiMH Batteries.
Direct Print Capable
The S73 supports PictBridge Direct printing so you cam print beautiful images without the need of a computer. Just connect the camera to a PictBrige compatible printer and print your favorite pictures the way you want them - it is that easy.
