CES 2014: Samsung has announced the WB2200F, a 60x superzoom camera with dual grip design. It offers a 20-1200mm equivalent, F2.8-5.9 zoom lens in front of a 1/2.3″-type 16MP BSI CMOS sensor. Beyond that, specifications are sketchy – it’s Wi-Fi equipped, with NFC to make pairing and sharing with compatible smart devices simpler. It also has a 3″, hVGA (usually 460k dot) LCD panel. The company promises long battery life and an electronic viewfinder, but in both cases gives no real detail.
