Samsung PL150 Reviews

Before you consider buying a Samsung PL150 (or as with any other product, for that matter), you might want to go online and check out the different Samsung PL150 reviews available out there. Ask around, or consult with your supplier on Samsung PL150 specifications, setting clear expectations about what you want from your camera and what the Samsung PL150 can offer. Most stores will allow you to look over their models, allowing you to get a basic feel of the product before you officially purchase it.

Samsung PL150 reviews on image quality

Most Samsung PL150 Reviews are in favour of the camera’s imaging capabilities. With a 5x optical lens that has a 27-135 mm focal length, the Samsung PL150 is quite versatile in its options for capturing photos; the camera is good for taking wide-angle panoramas, entire landscapes, or for simple point and shoot portraits.

The macro performance is more than satisfactory, as the camera can zoom in images from as close as 5 cm from the subject. The built-in flash works fine indoors, and you don’t have to deal with common problems like red-eye or over- and under- exposure.

The colors are especially vivid, although the model tends to lean towards more green and blue hues, making it perfect for outdoor shots. When fully magnified, the images tends to be a little more overexposed, and the pictures tend to be prone to noise, even when ISO levels are set low.

Of course, there’s the dual LCD monitor, which is one of the major pluses of this product, as users will be able to see self-portraits before they take it. The camera comes with a number of other features, like face recognition, digital image stabilisation, various filters (e.g. the vignetting filter), and an anti-shake feature that enables you to take sharp pictures at slower shutter speeds. These are good for users that like to fully utilize a camera’s features, and it can be fun to try various settings and modes for different photo takes. The list of full Samsung PL150 specifications is available online, and a look-see will be definitely in your favour if you want to optimize its features to the fullest. Although most camera models on the market today boast of the same features, the PL150 definitely delivers on its promises, enabling its users to make full use of the camera.

Samsung PL150 reviews on video quality

Like the standard digital camera, the PL150 model comes with a video recording feature, and is a standard plus in Samsung PL150 specifications. It shoots in HD mode at a widescreen resolution of 1280 x 720 at 30 frames per second. An advantage for the camera is its H.264 format, which allows you to record as much as twice as much as an MPEG-4, considerably increasing video take quality.

A majority of Samsung PL150 reviews agree that one main drawback, however, is that shooting in dim lighting usually results in a lot of grainy footage, so you’ll need some extra brights for those after-sunset videos.

Samsung PL150 reviews on overall functionality

The Samsung PL150 is praised by various Samsung PL150 reviews for its ease of use compared to other similar cameras in its budget range. The Samsung PL150 specifications, though a little daunting to read sometimes, the camera is actually quite easy to find your way around, and it offers more to its users in terms of options in picture-taking capability, and it doesn’t hurt that the trusty plastic exterior with a black finish and subtle red makes for a rather classy look.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camera!, 29 Mar 2010

PERFECT IN EVERY WAY!

My boyfriend got me this as a present for my birthday yesterday. What can I say? I am amazed! You can do so many things. The front screen is a must have, I don't see why somebody hasn't invented this before!

My favourite feature: The new 'couple shoot which detects when our two heads come together and also when you smile and takes the photo for you. (You can turn this feature off if you wish) I always find it annoying when you want a nice picture with two people in it and you can't tell what you look like. However, within minutes I have mastered this and can now take brilliant photos of us together. (Which avoids the akwardness of asking for some stranger to take a picture of you)

Other great features:
* The angle you can sit the camera at, which does make it good if you have it sat on a table etc as it misses the end off.
* It has blink detection which means it will take another picture straight away if somebody blinks.
* Countdown Timer displayed on the front screen when setting a timer.
* Jump mode, tells you when to jump and also takes 3 photos (Great fun)
* Children mode now plays music (and you can choose the sound played)
* Smart mode which automatically selects light etc

I have nothing bad to say about this camera. It's a great price and it does so much. I have only had it one day and there is more to it then what I have mentioned. It is a shame there is not much purple on the side but the sleet black makes this camera look expensive and really neat. Some people have said this camera is thick in size but I disagree and think that if it was any thinner it was be hard to hold.

I wouldn't buy anything other than this camera, not even the ST550 as there are some new features like couple shoot and music on children's mode. (Only two of many)

** Note this camera takes Micro SD card. **

Great camera, love the 2nd screen and it's uses! Takes really good pics the Smart Auto function is great and takes some lovely pics. You will definately need to buy a memory card and case as the camera holds very few photos. My only negative is that the camera can be slow in taking the pic sometimes which can mean you miss what you were trying to take a photo off, but when choosing a camera I noticed this was said about a lot of cameras so this is probably unavoidable!

I bought the camera for my girlfriends birthday as she is into taking photos. The photo quality is really clear and due to going out a lot, it makes getting great photos easier with the front LCD screen.

Maybe a little over priced compared to other cameras on the market with higher specs, but for the average user, a really great camera.

4.0 out of 5 stars ALMOST perfect, 29 Jun 2010

K. Parker - See all my reviews
This review is from: Samsung PL150 Digital Camera - Black/Purple (12MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 3.0 inch rear LCD (Electronics)
I found that this camera has many amazing, useful features, that help produce high quality images, such as the front screen.

HOWEVER, I think the fact they've packed so many features into this camera has given it extreme lag.
It's taken me up to 15 seconds before for the shutter to take the picture, and has taken half a minute to load the pictures for me to browse through after.

Would not recommend a buy if the customer has a low patience, however I put up with due to it's compactness, features and high quality images.

This review is from: Samsung PL150 Digital Camera - Pink (12.2 MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 1.5 inch LCD (Electronics)
I had the send the camera back, the zoom button was damaged, images on my camera where appearing as file error and I could not view them and then my screen developed a glittery appearance. I'm pretty certain the camera was faulty from the start but the product itself was nice. The front camera view mode seemed to make images blurry and sometimes the camera would take too long to take a photo.

This review is from: Samsung PL150 Digital Camera - Black/Red (12MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 3.0 inch rear LCD (Electronics)
I bought a 150 camera from amazon and it is the best camera i have ever had.
It was reduced in price and i am very happy with it .
The only problem i had was that i finished up with 5 of them.
I have bought a lot of goods from Amazon and it has not happened before
I think they have changed the procedure .Any way i got my money back for 4 of them
and i shall still use them. Phil Benfell

This is literally the most beautiful camera I've ever owned.
I don't quite understand all the features yet, but the front screen is brilliant, I don't know how I ever lived without it!
I advise this to anyone who wants to take a quality picture, it's clarity has been complimented by many friends.
5 out of 5!

I survived the last 6 years with a 3MP camera, so right now I'm in heaven, plus the front screen is just a brilliant idea. Good quality at good price, easy to use. Great for people like me that loves photography but are not professionals.

This review is from: Samsung PL150 Digital Camera - Black/Purple (12MP, 5x Optical Zoom) 3.0 inch rear LCD (Electronics)
I bought this camera and also found it very poor. The speed to take a photo is very slow and if you have kids or other fast moving objects you will be wasting your money. Shutter lag (speed to click the button to taking the picture) can take up to 3 seconds which will drive you crazy. The front screen and kids attract device is clever but of little use as the picture quality is so poor - Lots of photos are too blurry. Very poor in lower light conditions as well. Spend a bit more and get a decent camera
