Remember the Essentials

A memory card is required but not included with this item. Please be sure to purchase a memory card that suits your needs.

Samsung's PL210 Digital Camera is a complete digital camera, crowded with all the features you'd expect: a high resolution 14.2MP CCD sensor for great image quality, a 10x wide-angle 27-270mm (equivalent in 35mm format) lens that can take every kind of picture, from wide landscapes to portraits and family party pictures to sports, and 1280 x 720 HD video.

Sensitivity up to 3200 ISO and dual image stabilization guarantee that you can kiss blurry pictures good-bye. The bright, clear 3" LCD monitor makes it a snap to compose and review your pictures and videos. Smart Face Recognition recognizes and automatically optimizes focus and exposure for as many as 20 faces that you choose from people you photograph, and Smart Auto makes it all as simple as just pushing a button for a perfect picture every time.

14.2MP Resolution
Give important moments the detail they deserve. With the super slim and stylish Samsung PL210 compact camera you can utilize the 14.2 megapixels to inject true-to-life clarity into your shots.
10x Optical Zoom Lens
Get more from your lens, whether shooting a memorable landscape or the gang's reunion around a restaurant table. By using the precision-cut PL210's 27mm wide-angle lens, with its 10x optical zoom, you instantly cover a whole-horizon field of view. Now, you can capture full-scale memories of landmarks and landscapes, entire wedding parties and the tallest skyscrapers.
Dual Image Stabilization
Even the tiniest shake can ruin your shot. Dual Image Stabilization solves that. Samsung has combined the revolutionary technology of their ultimate Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) mechanism with the advanced algorithms of Digital Image Stabilization (DIS). Giving you sharp images no matter the condition. Whether it's low light, zooming or just a case of plain old shaky hands, your photos come out sharp and clear. So let your Samsung camera shake things up. In a good way.
1280x720 HD Video
The PL210 artfully combines a professional-grade still camera with a compact HD video camera. You get 720p HD quality video at 30 frames per second and recording time .4x longer than MJPEG video with the H.264 format. Use the 10x zoom to get up close and vividly personal.
Creative Smart Filters
Samsung's Smart Filter lens and color options make special moods easy for still shots and videos. Tilt & Shift Lens Effect adds a miniaturized look and the Vignetting Effect makes striking compositional contrasts. New special effects include Soft Focus to soften colors and add an emotional feel as well as Half-Tone Dot to enhance images with a comic-book look. Palette Effect adds an ultra-vivid vibe and a variety of color options for your images. It's now a snap to get creative.
Smart Auto Mode
Whether it's a few friends from last night's party or the moon reflecting off the lake, Smart Auto 2.0 (Still & Movie) instantly analyses key elements of your composition then automatically adjusts to capture the perfect shot with multitude of different photo modes and movie modes.
Smart Face Recognition
Smart Face Recognition recognizes and automatically adjusts the focus and exposure on up to 20 faces you've designated or have taken the most photos of, so that you can make those special to you stand out in the group.

      Comments about Samsung PL210 Digital Camera (Indigo Blue):

      My second Samsung P&S from B&H. Excellent build overall, solid, and very easy to use. Love the layout on the back as it is practical and functional. The mode button is the best. Great videos, HD or other, while zooming. Picture quality very good with rich colors typical of Samsung cameras. LCD nice, but fingerprints easily, I use soft cloth to wipe, a non-issue. After shutter push takes just a second to see photo, but no problem. Battery charges using USB and transfers photos via same USB, very convenient, typical Samsung. Battery/MicroSD compartment has solid cover. This is a MicroSD camera, but photo quality same as SD. Blue color very attractive to me.

      Comments made after only two days of use, but as of now think a very nice camera.

      B&H super as always.

      Great for taking fast pictures. The Auto-Adjust program is perfect because it recognizes changes quickly. Took it on vacation, and was great for taking pictures of landscapes. It needs a large capacity MicroSD card if you want to take short movies.
