SAMSUNG PL10 Review

Cute and pretty digital camera ‘PL10’ for women

Young women or students usually care most about design, fast operation, features, and convenience. They usually don’t care much about zoom, high resolution, or advanced functions. What’s important to them are how good the camera looks, how easy to use it, and how good their portrait shot looks with help of diverse functions.

PL10 is the prettiest, slimmest digital camera with various Smart functions that Samsung Digital Imaging has released in 2009. PL10 has many features that can appeal to women; it is an ultra-slim auto digital camera with splendid color, pretty body, small size, multimedia functions, and smart beauty functions.

Slim, Smart, Simple

PL10 has all the Smart functions that Samsung has. - Various Scene detections, Smart Auto mode that takes a clear shot under any circumstance, Samsung’s exclusive Smart Face detection that can register faces, Smile shot/ Blink detection/ Self Guide/ Frame Guide, etc.

Expensive digital camera with manual mode and high zoom is not always the best choice. PL10 is best for young people who used to enjoy taking pictures with a cell phone. With its 120g slim body and beautiful design will make it a diary that you can carry around everywhere like cell phone, make-up, or wallet. When you register faces, the camera takes pictures based on those, and it can also work as a MP3 player and PMP. It is the most reasonable NO.1 digital camera.

Beautiful five-color coordinator

Its rounded appearance and unique front side may not stand out on the photo, but it looks a lot prettier in real. It provides five colors- Titan Silver/ Black/ Arty Red/ Candy Pinky/ Purple. Black and silver will look good on men, and red, purple, and candy pink for women. PL10’s main theme is a variety of colors and ultra-slim design that appeal to your people. PL10 becomes a part of your fashion. Would you like to adopt this camera as your cute pet?

Samsung R10 1080 HD Flash Camcorder

The DreamWear Computers posted Samsung R10 digital camcorder.




Introduction:In the past year or so we've seen Samsung make a jump into making all their camcorders flash based and eliminating the older and less convenient miniDV/miniDVD formats. In that time I've reviewed a few of the models in their lineup and even decided to get myself one to replace an old and failing camcorder of mine. In only a few short models I've seen them really build up this camcorder arsenal into a fairly strong product line - something that will go along great with all the new Samsung photo cameras we'll see emerging this year. Their latest flash camcorder, the R10, looks like something straight out of the future. With a compact body size, silver colour and angled front lens, it jumps out as not following the trend of the other Samsung flash camcorders currently on the market. Let's check it out further and see what it's all about!

Review: SAMSUNG WB1000

First Class WB1000

Samsung Digital Imaging released 13 new products, and changed the whole compact camera line-up. The goal was to invent cameras for anyone to easily take good pictures with, so they made 13 different cameras with various design, specifications, and features. And the last but least is WB1000. WB1000 is the first class out of new VLUU line-up, with attractive specifications and features. It is the first class camera coming out in the first year of newly starting Samsung Digital Imaging, so it’ll become a barometer for Samsung’s technology and possibility in the future. For the first time, it has introduces 5x optical zoom with 3 inch AMOLED screen and 24mm wide angle.

24mm ultra-wide zoom lens

WB1000’s Schneider lens starts from 24mm wide angle. Compared to regular cameras which start from 35mm, it provides attraction of wider view. At the same time, it extended the zoom up to 120mm. So it has 24-120mm in 35mm equivalent, 5x optical Schneider zoom lens. And it starts from as bright as F2.8. Lens, the most fundamental factor, is the best grade. And it also provides full manual exposure feature with which you can control aperture and shutter as you want. You may control the aperture and shutter using Smart dial, which is a convenient interface. There’re A/S/M exposure mode, USER mode with a user’s setting, and Smart auto mode which automatically applies the optimal shooting condition by recognizing the circumstances.

　

3 inch hVGA AMOLED

For the first time in the world, it adopted AMOLED type display device in digital camera. Compared to TFT LCD which is usually used in cell phones or digital cameras, it’s about 1000 times faster and is well seen in bright places since it shines itself, and its energy consumption is low. Another strength is that AMOLED can be made as 7times smaller volume than LCD. Compared to other cameras, it shows the screen pretty well even in bright outdoors. WB1000 supports 1280x720, 30 frame HD video function. And thorough HDMI connection, you can watch HD video and photos on HDTV without loss. Dual IS stabilizes image in both optical and digital way. Plus, there’s Perfect portrait system that helps portrait shots in many ways based on face detection features.

SAMSUNG HMX-H106 Review

HMX-H106 series have equipped SSD (Solid-State Drive) for the first time in the world. It supports 1920x1080i Full HD based on 1/4.5 inch CMOS sensor. In addition, it has 180° rotating full angle grip and easy-to-use built-in software Intelli-studio. It is a home camcorder with various high-quality features. The models released in Korea are H106 (64GB), H105 (32GB), and H104 (16GB). It will have different capacities.

Full HD Camcorder H106 series

Last January, Samsung introduced a new H106 series at ‘2009 CES’ in Las Vegas. H-series, HMX-H106 in the front, is a compact camcorder with Full HD. H106, which is introduced now, has two noticeable features. It has up-and-coming SSD (Solid State Drive) memory and 180° rotating full angle grip. And its full angle grip is very unique, creating a sensation. The difference among H106, H105, and H104 is their different capacity- as big as 64GB, 32GB, and 16GB.  Other than that, the specifications are same; Full HD recording, 10x optical Schneider zoom lens, optical image stabilization, interval recording, etc. In this review, let’s find out about how H106 series is differentiating itself from other competing products.

※ This review is based upon HMX-H106 model, and samples and photos on this review are taken with H104. In addition, all the video samples are resized to smaller size, so its actual resolution is different from them.

16:9 Full HD quality

Normally, the resolution is divided into HD(High Definition)와 and SD(Standard Definition). If you take a closer look, under 800x600 is SD, from 960x720 to 2048x1080 is HD. Out of HD, over 1080 in vertical is Full HD. HMX-H106 series supports 16:9 Full HD recording. What’s important is that you can take in 1920x1080 resolution which fills 16:9 wide screen. It is different from HD camcorder that takes in 4:3 ratio 1440x1080 resolution, and enlarges it to 16:9 screen. Full HD quality has a recording type which is accurate enough not to show any distortion.

1/4.5 inch CMOS sensor

HMX-H106 has 2,200,000-pixel 1/4.5 inch CMOS sensor. The sensor is not that big. So I cannot say that it is relatively a strong aspect since the size of sensor can decide the photosensitivity. What’s noticeable in HMX-H106 sensor is not its size but its kind. It’s not a traditional CCD sensor. CMOS sensor shows low energy consumption and efficient charging. Besides, you can take a shot in direct face of light like sunlight or street light. Smear, appearing of lines, and Blooming around the light source rarely show up.

Interlace type of natural movement

Camcorder video is recorded in two scanning ways. One is Interlace and the other is Progressive type. Basically, it supports both of them. 1080/60i type for Full HD divides 20 frames/sec into odd and even fields. And through the interlace way, the output comes on one screen. Fields image in 60n frames are shown successively. It is similar to two toothed wheels  engage with each other and turn rapidly. While interlace type supports Full HD, HMX-H106 series’ progressive type is limited to HD quality. 720/60p shows 24-frame type of movies, and shows 24 frames continuously like film. These two scanning ways end up showing different results. Normally, interlace type is good for natural movement, and progressive type shows good image quality.

SAMSUNG DIGITAL IMAGING WB1000

Why do people use DSLR despite its inconvenience? Some people just like to show off, but most of the DSLR users want various manual functions and fast operation to take more satisfying pictures. (In my case, since my camera and lens weighs more than 3kg, if I take shots for a long time, my hand hurts for a few days. In spite of that, I keep using them because I can take pictures more accurately and quickly with them.)

Recently released compact cameras have video recording function and other additional functions that are not supported by DSLR. So for snap shots, they’re a lot more convenient than DSLRs. But for more professional shooting, it is not as satisfying because of its lack of manual functions. (It’s not simply about image quality. Nowadays, compact cameras have image quality as good as DSRLs.)

WB1000 in this review has both strengths of DSLR and compact digital cameras. It supports perfect manual functions and has portability and various additional functions of compact cameras.
　
I have high expectation for this because this one shows the best capacity among the Samsung Digital Imaging products on market. Through various tests, let’s find out its image quality and how its operation differs from fromer compact cameras.
