Samsung DualView PL120

The DualView PL120 is the entry level offering in Samsung's 2011 line of digital cameras which feature an extra LCD display on the front of the camera for taking self portraits. Like the next model in this release called the PL170, the front screen is 1.5" whereas the top of the line ST700 has a 1.8" front screen.

It also does not have HDMI output like the other two models and features a 14.2 megapixel sensor instead of 16.1 found in those cameras. All three however have a 26mm wide angle lens and 5x optical zoom, 720p HD movie recording capability and Smart 2.0 filters for image manipulation such as fish-eye, soft focus, half-tone dot, cinema, miniature, sketch and others. Easy Self Shot turns off the 2.7" LCD display on the back for added privacy when taking a self portrait, and you can select different picture frames to be added to an image with the Magic Frame feature. Smart Auto is another Samsung development which lets you choose from 16 different shooting modes for pictures and 4 for video that will automatically analyze and adjust brightness, color and motion for hands-free operation. Showcased at the January 2011 CES show, five cameras in total including the three DualView cameras are slated for a first quarter release.
