SAMSUNG PRO815 DIGITAL CAMERA

At first glance, you’d probably think that the Samsung Pro815 is one of those DSLR kind because of its all-metal body and design and its substantially big lens (a 15x zoom Schneider-Kreuznach) exudes the DSLR vibe. Not to mention, its large LCD screen gives it a more professional look. It is, however, Samsung’s most powerful point-and-shoot, non-SLR camera to date. Its impressive non-interchangeable zoom lens and features can produce high quality images that are as good as those taken with the more expensive DSLRs.
