Get the big picture with the 7.2-megapixel L74 Wide digital camera - called Digimax in other markets - from Samsung Electronics. This snapper, as the name suggests, frames a wide-angle shot of your subject with its 3.6x optical zoom and 28mm lens. That should give you confidence on your next holiday because you can fit more scenery and people in each shot.
The L74 Wide also helps travellers with its on-camera guidebook, shown on the three-inch colour display. The World Tour Guide function provides information about places to visit in various countries.
Available in black only, the camera is compact - measuring 104.5mm x 61.8mm x 21.8mm - and weighs about 174 grams without the battery and flash memory card. For video, it supports the MPEG-4 format and allows users to edit on-camera. Advanced Shake Reduction, an image-stabilisation system from Samsung, helps ensure steady still or video shots. The L74 Wide costs HK$3,290.
