Key Advantages

The Samsung PL100 features a compact and lightweight design, making it highly portable for everyday use. Its 7-megapixel sensor delivers adequate image quality for casual photography needs. The 3x optical zoom allows for flexibility in capturing subjects at different distances without quality loss. It supports standard SD cards which were widely used and easily available, facilitating convenient storage expansion. The camera provides various shooting modes that cater to different photographic situations, enhancing user experience and versatility. Additionally, USB connectivity simplifies the process of transferring photos to computers and other devices.

Limitations

The PL100’s sensor sensitivity maxes out at ISO 400, which limits its low-light performance and may result in grainy images under dim conditions. Its LCD screen is relatively small and lacks high resolution, making outdoor previewing challenging under bright sunlight. The absence of video recording capabilities restricts multimedia use. The camera’s autofocus system can be slow compared to modern standards, impacting capture speed. Battery life is moderate, necessitating carrying spare batteries for extended shooting sessions. Moreover, being an older model, firmware updates and accessory support have diminished over time.
