SAMSUNG PL150 DIGITAL CAMERA in ABBOTSBURY, New South Wales for sale
Samsung's PL150 is a 12.4-megapixel digital camera with dual LCD displays. It's an ideal pocket camera for a young partygoer. It has a front-mounted LCD screen in addition to the main screen at the back, so you can say goodbye to unflattering self-portraits and say hello to well-framed glamorous photos of you making the most of your youth.
The Samsung PL150 has a 27-135mm image stabilised zoom lens, and it's a camera brimming with great features and scene modes. It's available in a multitude of colours and it even has an agreeable price tag.
The camera is solidly built and small, so it fits comfortably in your pocket or handbag. A 3in LCD screen, the usual navigational buttons and a mode dial reside on the back of the PL150. Navigating through various menus and options is simple; you don?t have to spend an agonising amount of time working out how to use the camera (just press the Fn button to access most of the features).
On the top of the PL150 is the shutter button, which is surrounded by a zoom wheel; to the left is the button for activating the LCD on the front of the camera, which is especially handy for taking self-portraits. Something else that aids self-portraits is the bevelled bottom edge of the camera?s body; this allows the camera to point slightly upwards when sat on a flat surface, instead of straight on. It uses the extended lens as a counter balance, so the camera has to be switched on or else it's likely to fall backwards.
The LCD screen on the front of the camera is quite handy indeed: switching it on automatically activates face detection, so you can see if your face has been detected and is in focus. Not only is this a great tool for taking self-portraits, but you also have the option of using the front side LCD for video recording.
Digital video recording on the PL150 is also pretty good. Shooting in HD mode at a widescreen resolution of 1280x720, results were pleasing. Dim lighting will lead to grainy footage, so make sure you are in a well-lit environment if you want the best from the PL150. A great feature Samsung has included in recording mode is the option to pause while recording, instead of stopping the recording altogether then starting a new one.
The camera has 10 scene modes to choose from, as well as auto and smart modes.
