samsung i85.jpg The convergence madness continues apace today with the arrival of the latest, pocket-sized snapper from Samsung.

The slinky i85 is an 8.1MP compact digital camera with an impressive 3in touch-screen LCD that also manages to throw in MP3 and video playback to sweeten the deal. The i85 comes with 450MB of internal memory and fancies itself as a pseudo portable media player (PMP) with support for MPEG, AVI, MOV, WMV files using the bundled Digimax converter software.

It measures 3.74 x 2.42 x 0.8in – a little larger than a credit card – has 5x optical zoom and features Samsung’s anti-shake and face detection technology.

Did I mention the speakers? Yes, the i85 also sports a couple of small speakers using SRS 3D acoustic technology.

Oddly, the camera also comes with a World Tour Guide function, which provides travel information covering 4,500 regions in 30 countries. Whatever. I hear the next one will sport a tiny kitchen sink too.

It is priced at £229. Jump now for another pic.-Martin Lynch
