“The introduction of the Samsung 2View camera was one of the most successful digital camera introductions in Samsung's history,” .

We're proud to add to the momentum generated by the launch of these cameras by extending the 2View family with the PL150 and PL101. These cameras bring new features to the range and are available at a competitive price to accommodate a wide range of budgets.”

Updated Front LCD Screen
The new Samsung 2View PL150 and PL101 feature a 1.5-inch colour LCD screen located on the front of the camera. This 1.5-inch display gives users the ability to perfect their self-portraits or join their friends and family in the shot. New to the Samsung 2View PL150 and PL101, the 1.5-inch front LCD can now be used to frame video in addition to digital stills. With the PL150, users can enjoy 720p HD video recording at 30 framesâ€'perâ€'second (fps). An optional HDMI adaptor is also available for the PL150, so that HD video, as well as digital still images, can be enjoyed on an HD TV or monitor. The new 2View cameras also allow users to have more fun with the dual LCD screens thanks to the addition of the Couple Shot feature and the updated Children Mode with music.

Enhancing Samsung 2View's Renowned Features
Enhancements have been made to some of Samsung 2View's most celebrated features on the PL150 and PL101, including updates to the cameras' Children Mode and Self Timer. In addition to playing a fun animation on the front LCD screen, the Child Mode will now also play music to better help capture a child's attention in order to snap the perfect picture (additional animations are also available for download at www.samsung.com).

The Self Timer function of the original 2View cameras perfected the group shot because it displayed a preview of the image and a visual countdown timer in the front LCD screen, giving everyone an indication of exactly when the photo would be taken. Taking the Self Timer to a new level, the PL150 and PL101 now extend that same functionality when recording video, so that the entire group will know exactly when the camera is rolling.

When it comes to capturing the perfect shot, the Samsung 2View PL150 and PL101 include the popular Smile Shot feature, which will automatically trigger the cameras to take a photo when a smile is detected. The addition of Couple Shot allows users to set the camera to snap a picture when the subjects in the frame tilt their heads toward one another.

12 Megapixel Resolution, Large Displays and Advanced Optics
The new Samsung 2View PL150 and PL101 come fully equipped with a true colour-filtered 12.2 megapixel CCD, providing sharp and detailed images. Whether taking pictures indoors or out, shooting a landscape or friends around a table, the PL150's 5x optical zoom and 27mm-wide angle lens gives you a wider shooting range from a shorter distance.

The PL150 is also paired with Samsung's Advanced Dual Image Stabilisation (IS) technology to help users capture crystalâ€'clear, blur-free images. The PL150's true Dual IS combines both Optical and Digital Image stabilisers to produce sharp images without the confusion commonly found in other cameras. The Optical IS intelligently compensates for hand trembling by shifting the lens in the opposite direction. When Optical IS isn't quite enough, the Digital IS automatically takes over to ensure blur-free images. The PL101 features a standard 35mm lens with 3x optical zoom, and is paired with Digital Image Stabilisation. Both the PL150 and PL101 feature large, rear LCD screens with resolutions of 230K-pixels. The PL150 features a larger 3.0-inch rear LCD, while the PL101 features a 2.7-inch LCD.

Better Portraits Every Time
Both cameras feature Samsung's advanced scene recognition technology, Smart Auto (Still & Movie of PL150), which has been upgraded for use with video as well as with still images. Designed to simplify the way users take a photograph, Smart Auto (Still & Movie) ensures that photographers never have to worry about their photos being washed out, too dark or out of focus. Smart Auto analyses key elements of the composition of the image such as colour, brightness, motion and subject and then selects the appropriate scene mode which will produce the best results possible. Similar to the way the technology analyses the composition of an image when capturing digital stills, the technology will do the same for video, automatically choosing between one of four pre-programmed settings and selecting the one which will yield the best footage with appropriate exposure and colour balance.

The PL150 and PL101 also feature Samsung's Perfect Portrait System – a series of automatic technologies which take the guess work out of shooting beautiful portraits. Key features of this system are Samsung's Smile Shot, Blink Detection, Red-eye Fix, and Beauty Shot technologies which allow users to capture their subjects looking their best.

Stylish Design Makes 2View Stand Out

The PL150 and PL101 also feature a slanted design, which places the back of the camera at a seven degree angle. This subtle design accent provides users with further options for taking impressive self-portraits and group shots. The issue that many users face when taking self-portraits or group shots with traditional digital cameras is the camera must be positioned much higher than the subjects, in order to capture the complete image. Thanks to the seven degree angling of the PL150 and PL101, the lenses will always be pointed at the subjects' faces, even if the camera is positioned at a lower angle.
