Like the standard model, this is a 10 megapixel camera so you can make poster-size prints. It has a 3x optical zoom and an extra-large 2.7” screen that lets you view your images in exceptional quality and frame shots easy, even in brilliant sunlight.
The camera’s advanced face detection system detects up to 16 people in the scene for perfectly focused and exposed faces and correct exposure of other image areas. And when there’s less light, the digital image stabilisation system reduces blur. For extra memory, the camera can take xD and microSD cards.
But frankly, it’s all about the look, isn’t it?
Samsung ES-15
On the face of it, the Samsung ES-15 is just a good quality compact camera. But the ES-15 is designed to make taking fantastic pictures as easy as possible – right down to a Beauty Shot function designed to make subjects look great.
For starters, if you run into any trouble, there’s a built-in help guide that provides simple troubleshooting instructions and there’s a self-portrait mode that beeps when everyone’s face is in shot.
To make images look good, there’s a 3x zoom and a 10.2 Megapixel sensor. Digital image stabilisation reduces blur, face detection makes portraits look even better, a red-eye fixer removes red-eye from flash photos and auto contrast balance helps you cope with oddly lit situations.
But best of all is the Beauty Shot function, which retouches skin to appear brighter and gives a smoother skin tone either when you’re shooting the picture or during playback.
Even if you don’t need to use it yourself, everyone else will love you for it.
