Samsung L830 review

 

For a sub-$200 camera, Samsung's 8-megapixel L830 packs some strange and useful features into its slimmer-than-it-feels frame. A manual exposure mode, manual color adjustments, and a high-resolution movie mode belie the camera's small price tag....

The Samsung L830 has a manual exposure mode, manual color channel controls, a face-detection mode, and basic camera functions that are easy to access.

No aperture/shutter priority; noisy pictures.

The Samsung L830 is a compact 8-megapixel camera that offers plenty of manual controls, but its sluggish shooting and disappointing picture quality hold it back.

Manual exposure mode ; Manual colour channel controls ; Face detection ; Easy access to basic camera functions

No aperture/shutter priority ; Noisy pictures

If you're willing to go for a larger camera, Canon's PowerShot A570 IS,is around the same price and has a 4x optical zoom lens as well as manual and aperture- and shutter-priority modes. Meanwhile, Sony's Cyber-shot DSC-W55, also in the same size and...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Small and nice

 

When I initially ordered this item, I did not realize you had to pick the combo deal to get the free SD and carrying case. I started up the newegg chat and within a couple of days they had sent me the SD and carrying case free of charge. I LOVE NEWEGG!!!

Very small and takes excellent pictures. Uses SD memory instead of XD like the others. SD is much cheaper. Came with 1GB SD and a very durable carrying case

Haven't found one yet
