“Summer fun” promised by Samsung WP10 waterproof digital camera
Oh yes, you know the combination of “Samsung” and “waterproof camera” can only mean one thing…
It’s the Swimsuit Round!
Don’t panic, the pictures go bigger than this. We’re just using an alternate layout to get out of having to write individual captions for each one.
Although, it shouldn’t be that hard writing captions when you’re allowed to use as many variations of the word “fluid” as you can think of.
“Moist… wet… damp… dripping… spray… spraying… squirt… etc etc”
Swimming in it. Here’s the official text:
Samsung announced on Jun. 14th the launch of its waterproof compact camera WP10 that boasts 12M pixels sensor, 5x optical zoom and 2.7-inch Intelligent LCD.
WP10 has a function of waterproof that withstands up to 3m in the water or dust for an hour. 2.7-inch Intelligent LCD on the back controls the screen brightness in response to changes in the surrounding illumination, allowing vivid images in water and land.

Hang-on-hang-on-hang-on. It’s DUST PROOF? FOR A WHOLE HOUR?! From which benevolent technologically-advanced alien race did they learn such secrets? My world view is truly shaken.

Wow – withstands up to 3 meters of dust !? Perfect for my house then (as long as I only keep it in there for an hour at a time)
June 15th, 2010 on 1:34 pm
forget the dust, this is a spectacular double double holding, even though (or because) the holding unit in blue seems to have terrifying long arms…
oh and: would, wouldn’t

“Sorry Gran, got to go. If I stay longer, the hour-long dust-proofing on my camera will fail.”

I wish my bedsheets had a function of watreproof! :-(
June 15th, 2010 on 1:35 pm
…or even waterproof! :-(

Only sightly spoiled by the bored holidaymakers in the background.
That said, it’s a yes from me, Nigel.

Can’t wait to see when one of these will turn up on bitbroken…what do you reckon? Left in dust or water slightly too long or just dropped/trodden on/hit with an axe?
June 15th, 2010 on 3:20 pm
Oh, and the same goes for the cameras too, obviously.

Do beaches over in East-Asia-land have dust instead of sand, then? Dust dunes, dust castles, dust in the sandwiches? No good for our proper British beaches, beaches with sand.

A good old proper British beach: http://www.ecosalon.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/beach-trash.jpg
I know where I’d rather be (field testing those cameras by taking underwater shots of their bums while they’re floating around in rubber rings).

I liked watreproof. Proof against a psuedo-French, slighly drier kind of water?
I can’t decide whether pseudo-French water would be drier or wetter than the normal, wholesome sort. This may keep me aware tonight.
June 15th, 2010 on 5:01 pm
AWAKE! FUCKING AWAKE! (I’m never aware)

GigerPunk, loving the subtle site promotion there :)

Badben, definitely drier. As in, “he struggled across the arid desert, lifted his parched, cracked lips to the cup, took the sip he’d dreamed of for 3 days and screamed, it’s flippin’ watreproof!”
French.
June 15th, 2010 on 10:02 pm
French, therefore got to be wetter. As in, they’re all wet…the French. Wet?
June 15th, 2010 on 10:12 pm
Bilal – trying me best ;) Also on my 360 profile too, see if Ic an sucker some peple in that way too. Not that I’m ever online for anyone to read it, but still.
Men no me – surely after 3 days without water he’d not have enough energy to exclaim all that? He’d be better off with something short and to the point like “Uh eau” or “Eau no”
Badben – I think it would be the same wetness, but more garlicky. And would repulse soap.
And smoke Gitanes.
Wearing a beret.
Whilst constantly repeating the phrase “Hon-hi-hon-hi-hon”

There’s French 19 year old females though. Not all of them are jaw dropping, but a goodly number are. Maybe we’re back to wet again? The watre I mean?
They still say ‘hon hi hon hi hoh’ pbviously, but in damn fine, sexy, not quite ruined by Gitanes voices.

How are you on armpit hair, a love of Jerry Lewis movies and the music of fast fashion, sorry, Depeche Mode?
June 16th, 2010 on 4:54 pm
It’s context sensitive. My reactions to all of the above vary between ‘recoil in horror’ to ‘couldn’t care less if I was lobotomised’. In the context of hot French girls I couldn’t care less.
We should nod towards realism here. For many of us who frequest this place, I suspect, the qualifitation ‘has a pulse’ is enough, so some mere run of the mill Frenchness must be easily overlooked?

Can anyone tell me why the Samsung WP10 is called the AQ100 in the US? Will Italy have the IQ100?
Will accept made-up stories.

Feel cheated by the fact they aren’t actually in swim suits, but like that the cameras are pretty colours.
