Small and portable

Short battery life ; Inferior photo quality

Small, portable Digimax i5 suffers from short battery life and low photo quality compared with other cameras' photos.

Attractive design, well-built, very compact, has a solid feel to it

Somewhat higher than average image noise (but noise is fairly fine-grained, making it less objectionable), Images are a bit on the soft side, Rather slow shutter response, Continuous mode is quite slow, Not the best for low-light shooting, mediocre...

The Samsung Digimax i5 offers automatic and "manual" exposure control, as well as a range of 11 preset Scene exposure modes. What Samsung dubs "manual" mode, is really just Program AE exposure control. Auto mode keeps the camera in charge of...

Compact and stylish metal body; comes in three colors ; Very good photo quality (though see issues below) ; Many manual controls ; Large, high resolution 2.5" LCD display (though low light visibility could be better) ; Tons of built-in memory (50MB) ;...

Photos could be sharper; noise a bit above average ; Noticeable shutter lag ; Poor low light focusing despite having an AF-assist lamp ; Continuous shooting mode borders on useless: LCD turned off during shooting; frame rate is sluggish as well ;...

While the Digimax i5 is a very capable camera, there are better cameras out there for your hard earned money. If Samsung addresses some of the cons listed below I think they'd have a real hit on their hands. Maybe next time?

Attractive styling ; Good indoor shot performance ; 50 MB of internal memory ; Excellent LCD screen ; Nice movie mode ; Easy controls -- quick access to switch modes

Average image quality -- most notably the higher than average noise ; Underexposed images ; Slow shutter lag ; Small size may be hard to hold for some

The Digimax i5 is a 5 megapixel camera with a 3x optical zoom and 5x digital zoom. The camera does not have an optical viewfinder, only a 2.5 inch LCD

Useful, broad feature set; large, bright LCD; ultraportable; solid build; voice-recording mode; included text-recognition software; strong video-recording features; large internal memory.

Slow performance; below-average picture quality; not as intuitive to use as competition; not suited for wide-angle shooting.

Its feature set is both competitive and interesting, and it has a top-notch 2.5-inch LCD, but the 5-megapixel Samsung Digimax i5 can't keep pace with the competition when it comes to speed and photo quality.

Very good image quality.Good colour balance.Night Scene mode with 16-second exposure capability.High resolution, 2.5-inch LCD monitor.Very compact metallic body.Nicely finished, and pouch included.

Lens too close to the edge, and therefore too easily covered by fingers while holding the camera.Some noise in images as of 100 ISO.50 ISO setting only available with Auto shooting mode or Scene modes.Poor instruction manual.

The newly-released Digimax i5, to which the company has devoted a strong R&D team and invested millions of dollars, is the digital camera that brings internal zoom capability to Samsung Camera. Its cool stylish stainless body means it will not scratch...
