Samsung WP10

 

Finished in an attractive aquamarine blue that others may call turquoise, Samsung's durably waterproof WP10 snapper wears its creature of the deep credentials with pride. And whilst, yes, the shiny smooth faceplate is indeed nice to look at and stroke,...

Attractive styling, fair pricing for underwater photographers on a budget, HDMI output, easy to use

Slippery surface means that it’s hard to get a firm grip on the camera, slow to respond to button presses, snapshot-level feature set, no direct USB nor standard AV output (just HDMI), modest battery life

So while the Samsung WP10 will take pictures where other compacts fear to tread or swim, on dry land it is an inevitably less impressive beast – unless all you want to be doing is taking snaps in the main. It is reasonably cheap however, so for those...

Samsung WP10 waterproof digital camera review

 

Even something as irresistible as water is no match for the Samsung WP10's iron will. Well at least to a depth of three metres!

Waterproof to three metres; Rugged design; Easy to use; Inexpensive

Lens prone to colour fringing in high contrast situations

Samsung WP10

 

Will Samsung's first waterproof compact sink or swim?

Stylish little budget sports shooter that is simple to use. Image quality and shutter speeds are a drawback but it remains a good solid purchase for the leisurely holiday snapper.

Samsung AQ100

 

I ended up returning this camera. It froze up on me. None of the buttons would work including the power button. I had to pop the battery out to get it to turn off.

It seemed like a nice durable camera. The photo quality seemed ok. I liked the design

No super macro ; the camera froze up or "crashed" when I took several photos in a few minutes ; The body also got very warm when it froze
