Powered by two common AA alkaline batteries, the Samsung Digimax S85 allows users to always be able to find a replaceable power source wherever they go, without having to worry about forgetting a battery charger at home. The Samsung Digimax S85 features Samsung’s SHD lens and brings a 5x optical zoom (35mm film equivalent: 38-190mm) right to shooters’ fingertips.

With Samsung’s proprietary ASR (Advanced Shake Reduction) image stabilization system and Wise Shot technology, the Samsung Digimax S85 gives users the ability to minimize the effects of hand shake and ensure that the best shots are captured even in dimly lit conditions. Wise Shot automatically takes two consecutive pictures in rapid succession–one with ASR image stabilization enabled, and one with the flash–and prompts the user to review both and keep the preferred version of the picture. Furthermore, the Samsung Digimax S85’s Face Detection technology also makes taking pictures of family and friends a snap. Samsung’s Face Detection feature detects up to nine faces and automatically adjusts focus and exposure to ensure better composition and image quality.

By using the Samsung Digimax S85’s 2.5-inch LCD screen, users can frame their subjects and can review, edit, and customize their images right on the camera.
