Samsung ST95

This is a point-and-shoot in the truest sense. Samsung ST95 price in Malaysia starts from RM340, putting it in budget compact territory. It runs a 16.1 megapixel CCD sensor capable of 4608 x 3456 stills, which is plenty for casual prints and social sharing, though the fixed LCD and absence of a viewfinder mean you're composing shots on screen only.

There's no manual focus, no manual exposure, and no shutter priority here; this camera leans entirely on its scene modes and multi, center-weighted, or spot metering to get exposure right. That makes it straightforward for anyone who just wants to point and shoot without fiddling with settings.

At 92 x 53 x 17 mm, it slips into a pocket easily, and the mono microphone covers basic video audio needs. It's built for simplicity rather than control, so buyers wanting manual override or RAW-style flexibility should look elsewhere.
