Lets start with the good, for feature set, performance and price, we believe this Samsung’s most successfully realized digital camera to date – and that includes its forages into DSLRs and compact system cameras. A strong statement to make - but why...

We reckon the Samsung EX1 sets a new record, as it's the compact camera with the fastest lens we've ever seen in our test lab, thanks to its aperture of f/1.8 in wide angle and f/2.4 in telephoto. The Canon G11, for example, has an aperture of f/2.8-4...
Pleasant, sharp AMOLED swivelscreen, Ultrawideangle lens with record aperture, Picture quality in centre of image (and from f/3), Very well made and userfriendly design, Decent padded carrying strap provided...
Complicated system for accessing manual focusing functions, Interface can't be customised, Only VGA video, Slow to start up, No automatic image rotation...
As a first attempt at an expert compact, the Samsung EX1 is certainly a success. It's a nice camera to use, with decent performances to match. It does have a few small teething problems, most of which could probably be corrected by a simple firmware up...

The Samsung TL500's specifications list reads like an all-star team recruited from other advanced point-and-shoot cameras' features. Like the Canon PowerShot G12, the Samsung TL500 comes equipped with a flip-and-rotate screen to help with odd-angle s...
The Samsung TL500 is an excellent camera, and its F1.8 maximum aperture and OLED screen are excellent in a camer of this type. But usability issues make it less than ideal for both novices and expert users. Tim Moynihan, pcworld.com...

This 10 megapixel camera with a fast F1.8–2.4 image stabilised 24mm–72mm zoom lens is Samsung's entry into the upper levels of compact cameras. This segment of the market is dominated by Panasonic with the LX3 – about to be superseded by the LX5 – and...
The image quality is about as good as it gets in a compact. JPEG's from the camera are good but the RAW images are outstanding. It is worth taking the trouble to capture in RAW and process with the excellent Silkypix converter. Image noise is noticeabl...
The movie mode is VGA -- a bit crude in this day and age.
The EX1 is a cheaper alternative to the top Panasonic and Canon compacts and does not appear to yield anything in usability or picture quality. At the price there is no reason to consider any other compact unless you want pixel and zoom range bragging...

The Samsung EX1 employs a relatively large sensor (9.5x7.6mm versus 7.7x6.16mm) when compared to many others in the more affordable categories. Samsung also resisted the temptation to cram 14 million pixels onto the CCD chip. Consequently, each light-s...
