i was given this camera as a birthday present and didnt really think much of it. It was'nt until i actually started using the camera i appreciated what a great camera this is! The amount of features were endless! Firstly, face detection. For a low budget camera, i was not expecting much. This camera managed to snap an image with nine people and recognised the faces of each. it is also capable of recognising up to 11 faces in one picture. My old £200 camera would not recognise more than three! Secondly, blink detection. I know to some people it must sound like a useless feature, but once you have tried it, its something you wont be able to live without. When you take an image, the camera lets you know if the person in the picture has blinked while the picture was taken and then gives you the option to re-take the image. Not even my friends £450 camera has a feature like that. Lastly, smile detection. smile and the camera will take an image. Excellent for using instead of a timer like many more expensive cameras have.
Not only because of its features is it a good camera, but the lens is also very good. Carrying a 10 mega pixel sensor, all you images would come out very clear, even when enlarging them to A3 size. The 2.5" LCD display is very bright, which is a huge benefit when under bright light. Overall, this camera is excellent value for money. If your after a decent camera at an amazing price, i would thoroughly reccommend this Samsung ES55.
