Samsung MV800 reviews
You can read here about some reviews of Samsung MV800 compact camera:
The expertreviews website notes that this Samsung’s camera is easy to be used and it is ideal camera for social media addicts. Even if MV800’s image and video quality is not very spectacular, it is enaugh to post picture to Facebook, for example.
Picture quality is only a little better than from a good smartphone, but the 5x zoom lens gives it a distinct advantage over any phone-based camera.
In his Samsung MV800 review, whatdigitalcamera.com says that this camera is a very sleek looking product and it is finished to a high standard. Another relevant feature is the touchscreen, which make the MV800 very easy to use.
If you’re after a slim-line, nicely made and very easy to use compact, then the MV800 is definitely worth a look. The touchscreen is one of the best we’ve used – it works to a similar standard to smartphone, rather than some of the clunky offerings we’ve seen in the past on some cameras, while there are a host of fun modes to keep you entertained when out with friends.
Using the MV800 is a very hands-on experience. Other than the power and shutter buttons on the top of the camera the rear has only a duo of Home and Playback buttons. Everything else is managed through the camera’s touchscreen which is now far more sensitive than previous Samsung models. You can read more about this in pocket-lint.com‘s review. They conclude:
Samsung’s MV800 is a quirky and well-built compact camera. Although the flip out screen may be a little gimmicky, as it’s not something that you’ll be using all the time, its screen resolution makes it a pleasure to use as a ‘normal’ compact too. The touchscreen interface is a nice idea and the responsiveness is way beyond previous generation models. Sadly, it’s not ‘Smartphone standard’ and that’s what many potential customers will have come to anticipate, if not expect.
The techcrunch.com site insists on the software of Samsung MV800. In his review the author says that MV800’s software capabilities are enough for a compact camera.
In conclusion, trustedreviews says about Samsung MV800:
The Samsung MV800 isn’t the speediest camera on the market by any means. But then, it’s really not designed to be fast – it’s designed to be easy-to-use, flexible and fun. Measured solely by these three key credentials it scores well too. There are still some things we’d like to see in a future model – such as built-in Wi-Fi and direct social networking integration – but in most other ways the MV800 is step in the right direction that serves the needs of its target audience very well indeed.
