Samsung PL210 Digital Camera Review

The Samsung PL210 is marketed as the slimmest 10x optical zoom camera on the market. At 19.7mm thick, we can't really argue with the claim, as it easily slots into the front pocket on a pair of jeans, with a lens that telescopes out to give it the...

It's harsh to cal the Samsung PL210 a one-trick pony, especially when that one trick is the one thing that users seem to demand most from point-and-shoot cameras: optical zoom in a compact body. In that regard, the PL210 brings the goods, stuffing 10x...

Samsung PL210 14 Megapixel Digital Camera

Samsung's blurb has answered the three big questions, and provided us some mouth watering details about what this compact beauty can do. I'm interested to see how it performs, often these point and shoots fail to deliver where it counts. As a former...

The box?contents?are what you should have come to expect from a small digital camera. You have a wrist strap, a battery, charger, and data cable
