So, the UK’s first 3D TV is here, in the shape of the 40-inch Samsung 40C7000 LCD. There’s been so much hype about 3D in the home, that an enormous amount depends on the impression this first set makes; if people don’t take to 3D at once, the feature may never take off. Cleverly, Samsung has come up with a TV so stunning that 3D is only one of its attractions. 3D is well established in cinemas; the success of recent 3D productions such as Monsters Vs Aliens has been enough to convince theatre managers that it’s worth investing in the necessary projection and viewing hardware

Samsung’s latest entry to the point-and-shoot market comes with a 24mm ultra wide-angle Schneider Keuznach lens, five levels of optical zoom, and a 3-inch AMOLED display

It used to be that compact cameras were bought for their ease of use – point, shoot, job done. Now compacts are vying with DSLRs when it comes to features, with the Samsung WB2000 being of no exception. Samsung is billing the camera as ‘dual action’.
