Samsung L830 (Red)

 

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.

Samsung Disimax is a great camera

This is a wonderful camera. I was unsure about buying a camera online without seeing it first, but I am very happy with it. It takes wonderful pictures and it small enough to fit in my pocket. I would recommend this camera.
