Samsung has a long history with cameras. In the 1990s, Samsung produced cameras for use in the aerospace industry before switching gears to digital cameras for the average citizen. Samsung also took its camera success to the smartphone industry, manufacturing the first 7 MP cell phone camera in 2005.
The different Samsung camera series come at varying price points depending on their features. For instance, the HZ series, known for its “mega-zoom” capabilities, costs around $300 to $400.
