Ebenfalls als Vorbereitung für die bald startende CES hat Samsung seine kompakte Digimax i6 und die S Serie vorgestellt. Bei der Digimax i6 handelt es sich um eine sehr flache 6 Megapixel Kamera, die neben der eigentlichen Funktion als Fotokamera auch noch Musik- und Videodateien abspielen kann und damit zu einem Multimedia-Gerät mutiert. Die neue S Serie soll den Low-Budget Markt versogen und bringt gleich sechs verschiedene Modelle mit sich. Es handelt sich dabei um Kameras mit 5, 6 oder 8 Megapixel in silbernem oder schwarzem Gehäuse.
