Love the unexpected and get your Pixon!

Ever seen something and thought, “If only I had my camera with me”? Many people experience those perfect moments that cry out to be captured - a beautiful, astonishing, indescribable or unexpected moment that should be kept and be shared with friends and loved ones. Capturing those moments has never been easy simply because people don't walk around with their cameras all the time.

Missing those perfect moments will become a thing of the past thanks to the new Samsung Pixon.

Being the world's slimmest full-touch 8-megapixel camera phone, the Samsung Pixon boasts a 13.8mm slim design as well as many other great features. Not only does the outside look just like an actual camera, the Samsung Pixon also takes pictures like one with its 8x digital zoom, auto-focus, fast-shutter, face detection and geo-tagging.

Yet, the Samsung Pixon is even better than an actual camera as it also comes with a 3.2 inch full-touch screen and integrated Photo Browser which allows fantastically easy photo sharing and viewing.

Geesung Choi, President of the Samsung Telecommunications Business, said Samsung is a company which constantly tries to innovate to improve consumers' lives, to make things easier and more fun.

“Now everyone will be able to ‘get their pics on' so much more quickly and easily. For the first time you will have a camera on your phone capable of delivering the quality of image of a regular camera. The big benefit is not just the ease with which people will now be able to capture and share camera-phone shots, but the quality of those shots when taken,” President Choi added.

The Samsung Pixon will be available in South Africa towards November 2008.
