Samsung PL60

Does no frills equal no thrills with this model?

Not the smallest of compacts but packed with useful and accessible features. Perfect for beginner to intermediate photographers who want a simple point and shoot camera that delivers decent images.

great camera for the price

I actually cannot say anything bad about this camera. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of poor lighting once in a while. However, probably the camera didn't have to do with it that much.

Samsung SL420 Digital Camera, Its a Great Buy!!!

OK, my wife and I bought one of these cameras and I was, to say the least a little skeptical. But when I put the camera through its paces, I was quite surprised at how well it handled and its ease of use. It doesn't take a lot of techno savvy to get...

I think this is great camera for the price of $120.00 dollars

It doesn't come with a carrying case or memory card

For the price i paid, you cant ask for much more. Size is small enough to put in any pocket and big enough so it feels nice and solid when you are holding it. I really like how Samsung is the only company that uses the single USB cable to charge and...
