CES 2012: Samsung stand report
Samsung has an enormous stand at this year's CES, as befits a company which creates such an enormous range of consumer electronics. As well as cellphones, TVs and displays of all shapes and sizes, Samsung also has several new cameras to show off, including a new CMOS compact megazoom, the WB850F, which boasts an impressive-sounding 21x optical zoom and built-in Wi-Fi. Also Wi-Fi-equipped are the dual-screen DV300, the ST200 and WB150F, which are all CCD-based.
