Manuals of product PL80
Editorial note
The Samsung PL80 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 12.4 MP sensor and a maximum resolution of 4000 x 3000 pixels, allowing for precise detail capture. Its built-in image stabilizer is a major asset, ensuring sharp photos and videos, even in motion. Additionally, the 5x optical and digital zoom makes it easy to capture precise details from a distance, making this device ideal for landscapes and portraits. The varied scene modes offer appreciable flexibility to optimize settings according to shooting conditions. However, there are some drawbacks to note. The maximum video resolution of 640 x 480 pixels may seem insufficient for users seeking higher video recording quality, especially in the age of HD content. Furthermore, the lack of compatibility with Mac systems limits its accessibility for some users. The manual focus system may also disappoint those who prefer a faster and more automatic photography experience. Moreover, the 2.7-inch screen size could make viewing images less enjoyable for detailed examination. Finally, the 740 mAh battery capacity may not be sufficient for extended shooting sessions, requiring frequent recharges. In summary, the Samsung PL80 is a compact camera that offers excellent image quality and interesting features, but it has some limitations, particularly regarding video and battery life.Score details
