Samsung's Digimax i50 MP3W digital camera. Courtesy of Samsung, with modifications by Michael R. Tomkins. Samsung: Yet another new digicam; new specs, photos

We've told readers several times recently about a raft of digital camera announcements from Korean consumer electronics giant Samsung.

We've now entered specifications for most of these cameras into our database, and also unearthed yet another upcoming announcement in the form of the Digimax i50 MP3. Based on the new Digimax i5 model, the i50 looks to be near-identical to that camera, but with the addition of an MP3 audio player function, and a slight increase in weight. The lens, image sensor, storage and body are all much the same as the other camera. (Note that the picture of the camera that we've received calls it the "i5 MP3", but the press materials referred to the "i50 MP3", so we believe that to be the actual name.

Details on the Samsung Digimax i5 can be found in an earlier news item. Original details on the European announcement of the cameras is in a separate item which includes full specs for the Pro815, and info on US pricing is in an item posted yesterday. New specifications and product photos follow below:
