A 14.2 megapixel CCD sensor paired with a 7x optical zoom lens covering 31-217mm equivalent gives this compact camera decent reach for a pocket shooter. Optical image stabilization helps at the telephoto end where shake is most noticeable, and the F3.3-F5.5 aperture range is typical for this class of superzoom compact. Samsung PL200 price in Malaysia starts from RM530.
The 3.0-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots handles composition since there's no viewfinder, though it's not a touchscreen, so menu navigation relies on physical buttons. Scene modes and auto white balance presets cover the basics for casual shooting, but there's no manual exposure, aperture priority, or shutter priority, so control stays limited to point-and-shoot use.
Video tops out at 800 x 592 resolution, well below HD standards even by older compact camera norms. Storage runs on SD/SDHC/MMC cards with 30MB of internal memory as backup, and the whole unit weighs just 170g, making it an easy carry-along option.
