Video quality is OK, on par with good DVD video, which is disappointing considering its 720p HD resolution. Clipped highlights are pretty common, too. Exposure is generally correct, though I did occasionally get shots that were overexposed. White balance is good, but its presets were better than the auto white balance, and taking a quick manual reading is preferable to either. Smart Auto seems to have punchier color than in Program mode, but that could have more to do with Samsung's settings for individual scene types. There is visible softness in the corners that can make subjects look smeary when viewed at larger sizes.Ĭolor is very good: bright, pleasing, and fairly accurate. Center sharpness is very good on this Samsung, and it's consistent from edge to edge, except for maybe the very edges. There's no significant distortion when the lens is extended, though. There is some slight barrel distortion at the wide end of the lens. It's not a bad camera by any means, but not a standout either.
The thing is, Samsung didn't really do much to differentiate this model from its competition, so it ends up looking like just another pocket camera that happens to have a slightly longer lens than smaller, less expensive models. They tend to be less than $200, too, which makes them very attractive the PL200 starts at $180, but can easily be found for much less.
