Samsung Digimax L50 Review

SD630Imaging Resource has posted a review of the Samsung Digimax L50 Digital Camera. They write: “The Samsung Digimax L50’s good looks and small size make it a welcome companion, and its big 2.5-inch color LCD monitor makes it an entertaining one, too. Though primarily designed for the point-and-shoot consumer interested
in both style and portability, the L50 has some useful audio and video features as well. The 5.0-megapixel CCD captures high resolution images usable up to 11×14 inches, but they’re really sharp only to 8×10. The L50’s 2.8x optical zoom lens covers the most common shooting uses. We did have a few quibbles with it, mainly its enigmatic menuing system. It was a little slow focusing on kids indoors and out, unfortunately, and its low light and flash performance were weak. Though chroma noise and detail held together
at high ISO, color washed out noticeably, making for a sickly look in photos of people. Still, we enjoyed shooting with the Samsung L50. It’s not a Dave’s Pick, but it is an impressive showing by Samsung in the subcompact arena.” [ Read ]

The camera loses points because it has a confusing menu system and the images that it takes are not very sharp. Other cons include a weak flash, no Mac support, prone to red-eye effect.
