Samsung pokes a big nose into superzoom turf
Article Abstract:
The Samsung Maxima Zoom 145 camera has a list price of $899, but sells for about $275 in stores. The camera is well-designed for the most part, but the real-image finder has low magnification. The number of features and the placement for their operating buttons may be overwhelming to some users.
