Samsung ST30 Digital Camera

 

by Raziel TRUSTWORTHY I bought this thing last year after I sold one of my MVP cards in Ragnarok to someone I know. I just lost my BenQ camera and I was looking for a good affordable camera that I could use for taking down notes and random picture taking.

Samsung ST30 review

 

Appealing to the traveller and photographer with small hands, does the ST30 produce worthwhile pictures?

Small body ; Metering is good ; Nice build quality ; Picture quality is better than you'd assume

Toy-like ; Poor screen

Samsung ST30 review

 

If you want a cheap, simple and small digital camera, and you're happy to accept some compromise in terms of features and image quality, the Samsung ST30 is a pretty good option.

Small and light ; Stylish design ; Easy to use

No optical zoom ; Proprietary USB port ; Limited movie capabilities ; Image stabiliser not very effective ; Some colour issues

The Samsung ST30 is super-small and super-cheap. Its image quality is far from super but, then again, it's not bad for the price. Feature-wise, the camera is rather lacking, but it's certainly easy to use and the ST30 isn't bad-looking, either.
