I got bored of Canon SD series (I've been buying models in that series for many years now) and so decided to venture to Samsung. I particularly liked this model because:

- Good price
- Has OPTICAL image stabilization
- Good low light capability
- Video capability
- Can zoom while taking videos

The camera performs like a champ. Excellent low-light shots and great video clips. Their dual mode (electronic + optical image stabilization) can take pictures without flash in most indoor settings which is awesome as flash ruins the picture and can be distracting.

The printed manual is useless but the camera has a great electronic tutorial, so it's not a big deal. Overall, very happy with the camera.

This review is from: Samsung L210 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Black) (Electronics)

We bought this camera because we needed something small that took good photos. We already have a digital SLR but that is somewhat bulky to take to most places (my thoughts, my wife takes it anyway).

There were very few reviews on this camera when we purchased. Usually that would prohibit us from buying. However, the price is excellent for this camera and we've had several other Samsung items that we've been happy with.

The camera takes excellent pictures and with a 4GB or 8GB SD card there is room for hundreds of pictures to be taken. In addition to photos the camera also takes video. The video is not as good a quality as a dedicated video camera but gets the job done in a pinch. Both photos and video are easily downloaded to a PC by merely moving the SD card from the camera to the computer. There are several settings which can be used depending upon what picture is being taken. Some knowledge of digital photography is useful when playing with the settings. Otherwise you can stick to the "auto" setting which is what I do. The menu for various functions is easily navigable and intuitive as to what each function does.

In short, we've had the camera for about a month. At this point we're several hundred pictures into things with over an hours worth of video. We're pleased with the quality of the picture, ease of use of the camera and the size which is very small and easily put in pocket or purse.

I purchased this camera for my wife to replace a Canon that was too big to fit her purse - the Canon was great, but a bit bulky. Here's what we think of the camera so far:

Pros:
- Outdoor daytime pictures are stunning! Colors are bright and faithful to real-life and white balance is good at factory settings.
- Large LCD screen with auto brightness in any lighting is a big plus. We never have trouble seeing the screen, even in bright light.
- For such a small, purse-sized camera, we think it is plenty sturdy - just be sure to use the wrist strap, because it is easier to drop by nature of it's size - that's just basic physics!

Cons:
- Flash photography is just average - and the camera is pretty slow in very low light, even with flash.
- Battery life is just average. You should get an extra battery - if you do, I would get a name brand, as generics don't hold charge and won't last as long as your original.

Overall, for our use, we love this camera! We just wish it was a bit faster in low light and had a longer-lasting battery. Still, we highly recommend!
