Samsung’s New SH100 is Wi-Fi Enabled

Samsung Electronics announced today the launch of the new SH100, a compact 14.2 megapixel Wi-Fi enabled camera that delivers great shots that you can share with your friends and family over the Internet and social networks, from anywhere in the world. Lens is a Samsung f26∼130mm (equivalent) and the camera features Digital Image Stabilization. Price is $199.95

You can use Wi-Fi to connect to your Android powered Galaxy S smartphone, so you can view the shot you’re about to take in real time on your phone. If you’re not happy with it, you can zoom in and out to get the best picture, and then activate the shutter remotely when you’re ready to pose. This innovation means that the days of running between your camera and your subject, trying to line up the perfect group shot, are over. Users now have total control of their camera in the palm of their hand, from wherever they are in the shot. Users can even use their phone’s GPS to record exactly where they were when they captured their favorite memories.

The SH100’s built in Wi-Fi can also automatically back up your shots to your PC by pushing only two buttons, or by using DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) to wirelessly connect to your HDTV and see your photos and videos right away. This feature is compatible with the Wake-on-LAN (WoL) system which many modern home PCs are already equipped with. Wi-Fi enables you to upload your pictures instantly to your social networking sites such as Facebook, Picasa or Photo Bucket, or email them to individual email addresses straight from the camera. The people you care about can now enjoy your experience from wherever they are. You can also record HD video and share your favorite moments over sites such as YouTube. To make the upload process of large files easier and quicker, the SH100 includes an account with mobile hotspot provider Boingo, giving you access to over 200,000 Wi-Fi hotspots worldwide.

Joe, does the wi-fi capability work with any Android-powered smart phone, or just the Galaxy S?

As far as I know at this time. I am awaiting a review unit, more details then.
