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.

Customer Reviews

Good value for the money
This small camera has some pros and some cons. For me, this is a secondary camera (used when my wife and I travel separately), and it performs very well for that purpose.

Pros
- Lightweight
- Plenty of shooting options
- Price
- Built-in battery (no hassles with AA batteries, etc. like other cameras in this price range)
- Battery lifetime

Cons
- The shoot mode dial on top changes easily when the camera is in a pocket. You need to make sure that it didn't change (or you'll start recording a video when you really wanted a picture, etc.)
- Closeups are a bit blurry, even when using the built-in mode for that.
- Flash takes a while to charge
- No standard USB connector - you have to travel with the supplied cable to sync and charge.

Samsung L100 digital camera
I bought the Samsung L100 8.2 MP digital camera for my daughter's birthday, on the recommendation of my son. I asked him to find one that was simple to use, reasonably priced, and took good photos and this one more than filled the bill. I love dealing with Amazon and have always been happy with purchases made through them. My daughter enjoys using it and the pictures are great. It can even take movies and uses rechargable batteries, a real plus since disposable batteries can be expensive. We would definitely recommend it.

Very Nice
Just bought this camera recently and have been using it frequently. This is a very, very easy camera to use, and the picture quality is fantastic. The best part is you don't have to spend an arm and a leg for it. If you're very passionate about cameras and photos, you'll probably want to purchase a digital SLR; but if you just need a casual, point-and-shoot camera, I highly recommend this one.
