Product Description

Manufacturer Description

The Samsung L100 digital camera features a high-quality, 3x optical zoom Samsung NV lens and packs a large, 2.5-inch LCD screen which will automatically brighten or dim depending on the current lighting situation. For reviewing and sharing images with others, the L100 also includes an intuitive Multi-Slide Show. With Multi-Slide Show, you can play back images using five different slide transitions and can also set images to scroll to the cameras' preloaded music or their own favorite MP3 files.

Compact and stylish, the L100 utilizes Digital Image Stabilization to produce sharp, clear images. The camera also features a number of user-friendly features, including Face Detection, Self Portrait and Auto Red Eye Fix modes. Face Detection technology makes taking pictures of family and friends a snap, as it detects up to nine faces and automatically adjusts focus and exposure to ensure better composition and image quality. Self Portrait mode is a unique functionality that takes the guessing out of taking a self portrait. By utilizing Face Detection technology, the L100 automatically detect the subject's face, adjusts focus and exposure, and will only allow a photo to be taken if the subject is centered in the frame. For enhanced versatility, shooters can remove red-eye during image playback, or for even greater convenience, set the cameras to Auto Red Eye Fix to automatically detect and eliminate red-eye from their images as they are taken.

Another user-friendly feature of the L100 is Function Description. Designed to reduce the intimidation factor of various modes, Function Description automatically provides a brief and easy to understand description of each setting when scrolling through the cameras' menus, helping the end-user determine which setting is appropriate for their current shooting scenario. The camera's Photo Help Guide is another intuitive feature incorporated into the digital camera. Photo Help Guide offers the end-user a guided tour of how to take better images as well as easy-to-follow tips instructing them how to obtain excellent results.

The L100 is also equipped with Samsung's advanced i-movie mode, which offers users SVGA resolution (800x592), MPEG-4 video and advanced editing controls. With Successive Recording mode, users can pause, and then resume filming of video clips without having to save the clips as individual files. Additionally, users can operate the cameras' optical zooms and engage DIS image stabilization while filming to compensate for camera shake and to reduce blur.

4.0 out of 5 stars good pics and features but slow, July 12, 2008

This review is from: Samsung L100 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Black) (Electronics)

Positives:
1. Size is very small- wife loves it, goes in purse easily
2. Decent pics
3. Numerous features- including video+zoom...I like the "Backlight" scene since lot of photos the subjects face goes dark if their background is very bright and this corrects for that (with a flash)

Negative:
1. Being used to a Canon, there is a big delay in this one..you press the trigger and hte lcd goes blank for longish time....(I think it has taken the pic so u can move your hand..its just writing to the card...which does not hurt the pic I think...) but annoying anyway..

I got the Samsung L100 camera for my daughter for her 14th birthday in April, 2009. This unit broke in 6 months under normal use. I sent my daughter's camera to the them after talking to a customer service rep. The unit was sent back in 3 business days. Wow! That was quick. Guess what? A simple letter inside the package saying that "the unit was damaged beyond repair". No further explaination about what was the damage and why it was not under waranty. I am not even sure if they even open the camera to check on what is wrong. I will never buy their product again with this kind of services. I hope you don't never need to reach my position with them.

If you are looking for a camera and size and price are your concerns, this is a good choice. At around $100, 8mp and a very slim desing, it is a good buy. However, if image quality is important to you, then you would be better served with a Canon or a Sony. Of course, that would mean that you would have to spend around $50-80 more.
