Samsung multimedia camera

The latest digital snapper from Samsung is so stylish that at first glance it doesn't even look like a camera.

To reveal the i70's wide array of features, you need to slide open its tasteful silver cover. You'll then discover such delights as a 7.2-megapixel lens with a 3x optical zoom, a generous 3in LCD screen an nine-button user interface.

Much more than a mere point-and-shooter, the i70 includes both a portable media player and MP3 player and so you can have video and music on the go. It also has a text viewer that enables you to read while listening to tunes, and supports TV quality MPEG-4 (720x480) movies at 15fps. Samsung’s Intelligent Face Recognition Technology automatically detects your subject’s face and adjusts focus and exposure to ensure better composition and image quality, while you can edit your shots in-camera.

The Samsung i70 goes on sale within the next few weeks. You can can pre-order one now from Argos for £179.99.
