Product Description

The Samsung SL202 Digital Camera is perfect for photography enthusiasts and those looking for clever technology to help capture and enjoy all their memories and experiences. It incorporates a quality Samsung lens with a 3x optical zoom, as well as Advanced Digital Image Stabilization to help reduce blurry images. For simple shooting, the camera does most of the work for you thanks to a host of advanced automatic features, including Samsung's Face Detection, Blink Detection, Smile Shot, and Beauty Shot modes. The camera can also record high-quality video clips at VGA resolution, and allows users to pause and then resume recording video without having to save the clips as individual files.

Photos and videos can then be viewed on the cameras high resolution 2.7 inch LCD screen, while the unique Smart Album Digital Contents Management system significantly reduces the time it takes to find your favorite photos by using a clever navigation program that automatically organizes photos based on the date they were taken, their contents, color, or themes. Furthermore, the SL202 boasts a stylish, compact design which is accentuated by an elegant, brushed metal finish, and it is powered by a rechargeable Li-Ion battery that easily supplies enough power for a day of sightseeing.

This review is from: Samsung SL202 10MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom and 2.7 inch LCD (Pink) (Electronics)

I bought this camera yesterday. When I buy something I like to know all the features available. This camera explains all the features when you turn the wheel on the camera. It tells you what features are best for what you a taking a picture of.
My husband was throwing my son in the air and this camera caught a perfect picture of them. It was not blurred at all.
I am very excited to try the other features on the camera. It is a huge step up for me from my Kodak 4.0 megapixal camera.

First, we have a fellow Amazon customer who bought two SL202s, and both stopped functioning within a month; the issue? Frozen lens. Check out the comments to the review as well.

And from [...], the vast majority of SL202 problems are regarding frozen lens:

My samsung camera will not turn on. The lens is extended. When I push the power button the blue light comes
on, camera beeps, then light goes of. If i push the picture button a picture will come on for 3 seconds
then beeps and goes off.

When I press the power button it lights up, makes a loud beep and turns off again. Nothing comes on the screen.
When I press the display button, a stored image shows for a moment and then it makes the loud beep and turns
off. The lens will not retract.

Oh, and there's a guy on Ebay trying to pawn off his SL202 with stuck lens for it's repair parts value, which he apparently thinks is 40$.

Frozen lens happened to them, it happened to me, and it could happen to you. I guess the take-away point here is not to buy an SL202; I won't be buying any kind of Samsung camera ever again...stuck lens seems like somewhat of a common problem with digital cams, but it seems like a much bigger issue with the SL202; it wasn't released too long ago, and there are so many people with the same problem over the past couple of months.

I've used the Samsung SL202 for about 2 weeks and I am quite happy with it. The picture quality is very good, the viewing screen is excellent, and the camera was a good value for what it has to offer.
