Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Samsung's cutting-edge long zoom cameras make it simple to take high-quality shots from a long distance away. The new long zoom and wide angle PL210 gets you up close and next to the action, capturing moments, images and play-by-plays that once were out of reach.

wide angle lens
The PL210 features a wide angle lens in a super slim body

The stylish PL210 is the slimmest 10x optical zoom camera, offering a wide angle lens and dual IS, which automatically adjusts when subjects move. It's the complete grab-and-go camera and a snap to use to capture all the busy action from friends and family.

Ultra slim, the long zoom Samsung PL210 camera packs top performance into an elegantly thin 19.7mm case. The Wide Angle Lens and effective 10x Optical Zoom offers multiple shooting options and compositions with deep perspectives in 14.2MP high-quality images. Even slight movement triggers automatic adjusted focusing from the sophisticated DUAL IS (OIS + DIS). Simple to use, the PL210's comprehensive features deliver crisp and professional looking shots.

720p @30fps H.264 Movie

The Samsung PL210 camera artfully combines a professional-grade still camera with a compact HD movie camera. You get 720p HD quality video at 30 frames per second and recording time 4x longer than MPEG video. Use the 5x zoom to get up close and vividly personal. The HDMI connector lets you watch HD videos on any HDTV or HD monitor. You give up nothing in video recording, except carrying around that extra camera.

Intelligent Zoom

The automatic Intelligent Zoom feature allows you to zoom in on subjects while still preserving the image's sharpness, details and resolution. You can select the part of the image you want, and Intelligent Zoom will perfectly frame and render the image without any blurry edges. Now, you no longer need to crop out parts of an image or a blurry background after you zoom in.

Smart Filter
Samsung's Smart Filter lens makes it easy to get creative

Invent New Looks for Your Images: Smart Filter 2.0

Samsung's Smart Filter lens and colour options make special moods easy for still shots and movies. Tilt & Shift Lens Effect adds a miniaturised look and the Vignetting Effect makes striking compositional contrasts. New special effects include Soft Focus to add an emotional feel, Half-Tone Dot to soften skin tones and Old-Film Effect to set up a retro mood or frame. Colour Palette for movies adds an ultra-vivid vibe. It's now a snap to get creative.

Magic Frame

The unique Magic Frame feature allows you to create sophisticated images and poster-quality visuals that express your mood and personality. Just select one of the built-in Magic Frame templates, including Wall Art, Old Film, Ripple, Full Moon, Old Record, Magazine, Holiday, Classic TV and more. Point the camera at the subject you want, match it within the on-screen template and capture. That's it. Your subject now is framed by a special mood and background – like magic.

Smart Face Recognition

Samsung's Smart Face Recognition feature automatically recognises and adjusts focus and exposure for up to 20 of the faces you shoot most frequently. It identifies your favourites by creating a face image database. The feature also lets you search your photo album via face images so you don't have to browse through every photo when looking for a shot.

Object Highlight

Samsung's new Object Highlight feature manages and adjusts image backgrounds so every face appears crisply front and centre. It works just like a digital single lens reflex camera to put the emphasis on the portrait. Simply synthesise two images to highlight the face you want and let the background remain in soft focus. Object Highlight is the easy way to showcase all your best pals.

Intelligent Object Tracking feature automatically focuses on an object while it's in motion

Face Tracking

When the action begins, or your subject starts moving, it can be hard to keep the camera focused. The Intelligent Object Tracking feature automatically focuses on an object while it's in motion, letting you easily track what's going on. Even if the subject is constantly moving or off-centre in the frame, the object tracking feature ensures complete focus the entire time.

Perfect Portrait System

Using the latest technologies, the Samsung PL210's Perfect Portrait System combines all the features you need to create unforgettable portraits. Beauty Shot retouches skin tone and removes flaws on faces, so portraits look bright and perfect. Face Detection automatically detects and adjusts focus and exposure. And the convenient Red-eye Fix feature eliminates these glitches, so you never need to reshoot.

Built-In Intelli-Studio 2.0

The Samsung PL210 has a pre-installed software program, the Intelli-Studio 2.0, that lets you instantly sync with your PC to upload images or videos. Now you can play, edit or archive video files and images captured on a camera with ease. Intelli-Studio 2 automatically launches as soon as you connect the camera to your PC's USB drive – making all your storage and editing needs so much easier.

Smart Auto 2.0 (Still and Movie)

Smart Auto 2.0 turns fleeting moments into perfect memories with professional-style results. Whether it's friends at last night's party or moonbeams reflecting off the water, Smart Auto 2.0 (still and movie) analyses key elements in the composition and automatically adjusts its 16 photo modes and 4 movie modes to capture the best shot. And since life never stops moving, the camera's Object Tracking feature captures subjects that don't, or won't, stand still.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazon sending customers the wrong way! 25 Jun 2011
Colour Name:Silver
Amazon is telling customers misinformation. This camera requires a micro I say again MICRO memory card. NOT the one Amazon is suggesting you buy. The only reason customers buy these together (Like I did) is because amazon suggests yo do. Everyone then has to have the problems of sending them back and getting the correct memory card.

Samsung have a great product, sullied by Amazons incompetence!!!!

First thing - READ camera REVIEWS. Apart from having a go yourself, it's the only way to get an idea of what a camera will be like to use. At least SKIM READ this and some others pleeeease :)

I'm not really sure how to review this camera. I've had it a few months now and used it quite a lot but still not sure if I really like it.

The one very annoying negative is that it takes ages to take a photo. It can be very irritating when you have people posing for a photo and you're there holding down the shutter button for ages. This could be because it's on 'auto' a lot and so needs to do lots of configuring before taking a shot but I've never had a camera that has such a lag, and I think if you had a play with one it'd be a big turn off for you. When looking to buy a camera I was in a rush because I wanted one for Christmas and this one had good credentials at a very discounted price so I ignored the person who mentioned the lag, and now I wish I didn't (NB it only really does this when the flash is needed so if you're not gonna take any pictures in the dark, unlike me who got the camera to document nights out, it would be fine).

On the other hand, the camera does take nice pictures, especially in daylight where it is clear, bright and responsive.

I also love the smart filters, such as 'fish eye' (which is great fun) and the different colour effects.

There are some other cool settings too (like 'beauty shot', which smooths skin tone and uses face detection) although I don't really get round to sing a lot of these. It also takes nice video in different sizes and again with good filters.

The added extras like the filters and in-camera editing do make a difference - I didn't think they mattered and that I wouldn't use them when I bought the camera but they're good!

The camera does live up to it's credentials too - the zoom is very clear and great, the pictures are of a high quality.

Lastly, the camera works well, is fairly easy to use, a good design and size and the battery has been really impressive for me, going ages without dying - a lot longer than any other camera I've had.

So yeah, it's a nice little camera but not perfect so shop around before you buy it - I don't know much about cameras and it's hard to judge stuff like this without having a play so read the reviews and maybe go to a camera shop to make sure you get the best camera for you money. I'm pleased with what I've got with this camera, but I think with the money I spent I could've been a little happier!!

I'm a 19 year old Brit female who takes arty pictures for fun and everyday ones for prosperity - I would think twice before recommending this camera to friend.... and then probably recommend something else / suggest they splash out a bit and get something that;s more enjoyable and takes noticeably better photos.

Maybe I'll review after a year of use and see how it's going then!

4.0 out of 5 stars A great little camera 8 Jan 2012
Colour Name:Black
I ordinarily use my canon digital SLR for everything. However, it isn't exactly the most portable option for everyday knocking about. So, on a recent trip showing visiting family about London, I decided to pick up a small camera for quick shots. Because of the great experience my family has had with other Samsung products, i decided to go with this camera. it is easy to use, very compact and advertised a few interesting features. I was hesitant to be very impressed when I first started shooting, as the images didn't seem that great when reviewing them in the camera. However, once I pulled them up on my Mac at home, I realised this thing actually does a really nice job. It does exactly what I bought it for and is a bit better than I'd hoped. I don't think the smart programme is as great a setting as promised, as i usually have to select something else to get good results. However, I am pleased and have dropped my SLR use about 50%.
