- After having launched in January, Samsung's WiFi-enabled DV300F camera officially hit the market March 20, according to a fresh announcement from the Korean manufacturer.
As the latest addition to the DualView line, this 16 megapixel shooter features a 25mm wide angle lens with 5x optical zoom, and boasts a three-inch main LCD, along with that 1.5-inch front-facing display.
