Samsung L73

As they often do, Samsung Camera unleashed a whole mess of new cameras at CES today. The first one, the L73, looks to be a "light" version of the NV10 model that I reviewed last year.

Samsung L73 digital camera

Buying a pocket-sized digital camera hasn't entailed much compromise for a while now, as Samsung's L73 demonstrates. Despite its diminutive dimensions and sleek black design, the Samsung L73 sports a 7.4Mp (megapixel) 1/2.5in CCD (charge-coupled...

The Samsung L73 has an eye-catching appearance, and the Smart Touch system is sure to wow your friends – but it's not one to choose if you're after manual control. It's also a little pricey.

Underwhelmed

It is a good entry level camera for someone looking to take simple snapshots. If you are a little more picky about the quality of your pictures, then I would recommend a camera with a larger lens.

Superb settings and interface, bright LCD screen, very light and portable. The touch pads on the back make it fun to use

I am unhappy with the Quality of the pictures compared to my old 3.2 MP Fuji FinePics. For being more than twice the resolution, the picture is not that sharp even with flash. And the defaults on the color aren't quite as nice. Mine will probably be...

Not too shabby, if you can find one

I got it a month or so ago. It's very nice if you have time to line up a shot, but it just isn't worth it if a lot of your shots must be taken on-the-fly, as higher ISO than 200 will leave a lot of digital noise in the shot, but the low ISO you need...

nice, clear images - excellent lenses - clear display - manual settings - TV-resolution video at 30fps

slow shutter speed - lots of digital noise at high ISO (ISO=shutter speed; faster=higher number)- confusing interface - power hungry

Features, but lacking performance

It's neat, but it doesn't do best what it ought to - take pictures.

The camera has some cool features. You can shoot in a widescreen aspect ratio, which is neat

Photos are grainy, even at 5 MP

Great but Not so Great

would ahve been SO awesome if it wasnt for the battery hoggness in movie mode. Havent tried with rechargable Ni-MH yet though...so fingers crossed

Has great manual functions. Easy to use menu...big fricken screen. Nice movie features and cool motion capture feature

Seems to be a HUGE battery hog when recording movies. Seems to eat quite a few batteries. I went tot he beach one weekend and took about 150 pics about 10% with flash and about 6 - 14 second(average) clips at 640x480 30fps. went through about 8 batteries

Awesome compact camera!

I bought this camera because I needed something to carry around for those times I don't wanna lug my DSLR and lenses around. So far it works great. Pictures are very good quality. LCD is bright and sharp and this camera looks so sleek!

Very sleek and slim, nice touch interface, tons of features, records video

Bad in low light, but hey I have a dslr for that
