Review Samsung L200
image quality 61/100
The small Samsung packs 10 megapixels on a small 1 / 2, 33 "sensor. In order to tackle with such packed sensors resulting noise, Samsung has developed a new image processing. The noise reduction is greater for older cameras and goes even at low ISO values significantly to work. At full magnification to see the photos then as they had applied a watercolor filter. Fortunately, the resolution is sufficient to do this when viewing on a Full HD LCD is not directly noticed. Samsung has achieved is that most buyers of this camera, this problem remains hidden likely (at least if they do not take photos with sensitivities over ISO 400). The lens makes a very good idea for a camera of this class and shows no major weaknesses. The distortion is very limited, and the sharpness is good, at least in the middle. Especially close-ups with flash are quite detailed. In the corners, but the resolution is clearly from. In landscape photography it is by direct incidence of excessive sun lens flare effects seen in the sample gallery. White balance and exposure are generally good, the camera tends to underexpose rather than to over-exposure, presumably to avoid bright areas disappear. The dynamic range is somewhat limited.
video quality 47/100
Samsung advertises that the camera uses a modern MPEG 4 compression. As far as right, the format is very compact and some other manufacturers require. Sorry, but the compression is much too strong and artifacts blur the image and appear as large blocks. Also occur every few seconds Aberrations in the form of blocks to taking about 1 / 15 of the image. The sound is quiet and poorly understood. In darkness, often hardly anything to be seen. Too bad you could have done much more with it.
performance / features 70/100
The L200 is pretty fast and does a good job of focusing on - except in the dark. Although the camera has an auxiliary light for such cases, this results in 50% of cases, but few reports and a note that the focus was not successful. Just to use at discos or self-portraits in the dark, not really. Here, several efforts are needed before the camera focuses. A moving object is the AF also not behind, a chase mode would have been nice. A surprise are the many manual controls, here you have almost the control as a bridge camera. In addition to ISO, white balance, etc. that is, for example, the exposure time can be set manually. Since everything is easily reached and operated a nice option. In addition, there are also some preset scene modes.
operation 82/100
The menu will indeed win any beauty contests, but is clear and well thought out. All settings will be saved easily by hand, and the logical layout of the buttons to scroll through menus often. The scene was much better adjusted, but otherwise there are no complaints.
total 65/100
The Samsung L200 is a nice little camera for its price by 100 € a good investment. Anyone looking for a snapshot camera for the holidays gets a lot for the money. Party Pictures for the camera is only conditionally recommended. Who is expected to be good videos too disappointed. It may be that this could eliminate a firmware update error in the video function.
