By incorporating versatile NIKKOR lenses to the equation, users can now create a variety of photography effects to video such as isolating subjects with a shallow depth of field, and recording in low light conditions.
It's the first handset to feature optical image stabilization -- the floating sensor and lens enable ultra-stable video recording and phenomenal low-light stills.
The scandal came to light after the discovery of a wire-tap recording, made without judicial approval, of a conversation between South Korea's ambassador to the United States and a top executive from the Samsung Group.
Curiously, the camera doesn't beep when turned on with the remote, so unless you have an assistant standing by to look at your little light it's awfully hard to tell whether you're recording.
