Samsung has long wanted a slice of the lucrative digital compact camera market, but past offerings have often failed to excite. While shunning some of the quirky designs and dubious build of previous entry-level models, the new PL80, with its a...

Samsung PL80/PL81

 

The camera focuses very quickly, ability to zoom while recording video also handy, Image Quality is very good, nice brushed metal effect on front, 5x optical zoom is smooth and quiet.

Processing time takes a little long after a picture but this may be down to my memory card.
