Overview

The Samsung Digimax 130 is a compact digital camera released in the early 2000s designed for beginner to intermediate users. It features a 1.3-megapixel CCD sensor delivering digital images with a maximum resolution of 1280x1024 pixels. The camera employs a fixed focal length lens with a 3x optical zoom and offers shutter speeds ranging from 1/1000 to 2 seconds. It supports JPEG format for image storage and utilizes SmartMedia cards as removable memory media. Power is supplied through two AA batteries, making it convenient for on-the-go use. The camera connects to PCs primarily via a USB interface supporting data transfer and remote control capabilities.

The Digimax 130 also provides basic exposure adjustments and white balance presets, allowing users some control over image quality. The compact and lightweight design ensures high portability, suitable for casual photography. Despite limitations in sensor resolution by today’s standards, the Digimax 130 served well for snapshots, documentation, and early digital imaging purposes.

Key Advantages

The Samsung Digimax 130 offers easy-to-use controls ideal for novice photographers. Its 3x optical zoom lens allows moderate framing flexibility compared to fixed lens cameras. The use of AA batteries increases accessibility by allowing common battery replacements. The camera's compact size and light weight enhance portability for casual shooting. Additionally, USB connectivity streamlines image transfer and tethered shooting with computers. JPEG compatibility ensures wide compatibility for image use and sharing.

Limitations

The camera's 1.3-megapixel sensor limits image resolution and detail capture, unsuitable for large prints. Low light performance is constrained by a fixed lens aperture and limited ISO range, producing noisy images in dim conditions. Lack of advanced features like image stabilization, autofocus tracking, or manual exposure reduces creative control. Storage media in SmartMedia format is obsolete and hard to find today. The LCD screen is small and low resolution, making image review challenging. Video recording capabilities are absent, limiting multimedia use.
