Digital camera reviews of Samsung L210 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Image Stabilized Zoom (Red)
Digital camera Review: Best bang for the buck!
Summary: 5 Stars
I replaced a Canon S700 IS with the red model of this Samsung L210. Before that I've had 2 other Canons and one other Samsung camera. Canons tend to take the best pictures and they use the standard SD memory unlike Sony cameras which I refuse to buy due to their insistence on using their own proprietary memory.
Reasons I bought this Samsung over my Canon
1. Ability to take low light pictures blur free. This was the BIG reason.
2. Ability to take video using mpeg4 compression, can fit hours on a 2gb card.
3. More manual control.
The dual image stabilization mode (digital processing + Optical Image Stabilization) works as advertised, I can take indoor natural looking pictures without flash, but there's a catch. The camera takes two pictures and combines it. This taking two pictures mode means it takes a lot longer to take pictures. But it's a small inconvenience to finally have nice looking indoor pictures (for those times when optical image stabilization doesn't work well enough).
In other modes such as Auto, Manul, and Program you can turn on the optical image stabilization (OIS) feature only and pictures are taken normally. I like how the OIS has it's own button, in my previous Canon I had to access it through a few levels of menus.
Other features include a Program mode that is similar to the Manual mode but you get the option of changing the Aperature and Shutter speeds.
Videos are solid at 30fps up to 640x480 resolution. It has a wide screen mode but that's just a gimick since the frame rate drops down to 20fps.
Other useful features:
1. Auto LCD brightness control depending on lighting conditions
2. Time/date stamps right on the pictures
3. Basic editing of pictures like Cropping, resolution, and rotation of pictures right in the camera, very, very, useful if you want to quickly post stuff to the web.
So far I'm very happy with the pictures I'm getting. I'm surprised Canon is falling behind in the features department, I would think natural indoor pictures would be top priority as would the ability to take long videos without filling up memory cards. I have to give it to Samsung, they've done a superb job this time around. Highly recommened. (I'll try to post some pictures)
