With the multitude of convergent devices available these days it's difficult for companies to come up with any original features to differentiate the...

Fills a variety of roles, stylish design, natural colour balance

Media player has issues, travel guide is very basic, slow operation, some minor image quality issues

Samsung's i85 tries to do a few too many things at once and falls into the 'jack of all trades, master of none' trap. While it is an adequate still camera, if you're looking for solid travel or media functionality you best look elsewhere.

Samsung i85 review

 

Part digital camera, part media player, the Samsung i85 packs a lot into its sleek, glossy frame.

For a price and features that the Samsung i85 offered, its performance will satisfy casual shooters. Given the loss of detail and slow operational response, the Sony DSC W90 we reviewed last year is a better performer though it does not have all the...

Samsung i85 review

 

Samsung's slim snapper wants to be loved for its media skills as much as its papping ability. It's bagged a CES 2008 Innovation award – but will it get a Hot Buy?

Not worth the extra money for the media ability, but a solid performer

Samsung Cameras i85

 

This is quite a heavy camera but it is also a lot more as it also is an MP3 player and capable of displaying videos, it can also be a guide book, so far it has refused to do the washing up.

As often the cameras I get to look at are not totally new and sometimes the previous reviewer has managed to do strange things, I remember one where the colour balance was terrible with whites looking almost yellow. This one had a problem that it would...

Samsung Digimax i85

 

The i85 is a digital still camera, a Portable Media Player (PMP), a voice recorder, a text reader and, the best of all, a tour guide all rolled into one device

Looks and build quality, 3-inch LCD, loads of features, PMP functionality, World Tour guide, Battery Life

Average image quality, small buttons, sluggish operation, LCD blanks out in ASR mode
