Samsung PL70 review

 

The PL70 is a tad chunkier than average but its brushed aluminium front fascia looks elegant. It's just as impressive around the back, with a 3in LCD screen and a mode dial for quick access to its various shooting modes. A Function button provides...

Samsung PL70 review

 

The PL70's a decent camera for the money, but it's a long way from perfect. The basic picture quality is fine and it's a decent camera to use, but not all of its features live up to their promise. It's not bad. It's alright. But you can say that about...

Cheap but handy

 

The photos are pretty good quality for such a budget camera. It feels nice and easy to use and is perfect for taking on a holiday or to a festival where it might get dirty or scratched.

This camera literally has everything you need! Only fault is on the panal, the top button isn't working, but that's probably because I dropped it in the snow.. It's great in high light conditions and low light. Would highly recommend!
