Samsung EX2F

This compact camera pairs a 1/1.7" BSI-CMOS sensor with a fast F1.4-F2.7 lens covering a 24-80mm equivalent range, a combination that favours low-light shooting more than most pocket cameras in this class. The 3.0-inch AMOLED screen is fully articulated, useful for awkward angles or vlogging setups, and there's an optional electronic viewfinder for when sunlight washes out the display. Manual controls are all here too: aperture priority, shutter priority, full manual exposure, plus RAW capture for anyone editing photos afterward.

Samsung EX2F price in Malaysia starts from RM1075, positioning it against other enthusiast compacts rather than basic point-and-shoots. Optical image stabilization backs up the lens across the zoom range, and video tops out at Full HD 1080/30p with stereo audio input. Built-in Wi-Fi handles file transfers without cables, and the SLB-10A battery pack keeps things simple for spares. At 294g, it's still light enough to carry daily, with a hot-shoe for external flash when the built-in unit isn't enough.
