Samsung Digital Cameras

Samsung ST550

Its pictures are fairly ordinary, but the 12.2-megapixel ST550 is a stunningly successful exercise in interface design. With a front-mounted touchscreen that makes taking self-portraits a piece of cake, a rear-mounted touchscreen that delivers haptic feedback, and a motion-sensitive menu system, it's a joy to use

Samsung WB1000

The 12-megapixel WB1000 offers more control over your photos than the vast majority of other compact cameras, making it a good option for digital SLR users seeking a pocket snapper. Its photo quality and performance are what you'd expect from a compact, but it's a beautifully made machine

Samsung ST50

The 12-megapixel ST50 super-slim camera has a real air of quality about it, thanks to a weighty stainless-steel body and high-quality LCD display. With its 'smart auto' mode, the camera can also take care of all the picture settings for you, if you fancy giving your brain a rest

Samsung NV9

The NV9 is a very tempting 10-megapixel super-slim camera. It offers far more than you'd expect for its £120 price, including an attractively finished and robust metal body, a 5x zoom, a built-in MP3 player and surprisingly good picture quality. It's not perfect but, for the price, it's pretty close

Samsung i85

Samsung thinks we don't just want a camera but an MP3 player, movie player, world tour guide and storage device all rolled into one. The i85 is the result: a stylish 8-megapixel compact with a 5x zoom and enough features to keep you entertained on the plane and informed when you get to where you're going

Editor's rating 6.0

Samsung NV40

Although there were some problems with purple fringing and image noise, the Samsung NV40's user interface is so good that we'd still recommend it. This 10.5-megapixel snapper's price is so close to the £100 mark that it'd be a crime not to consider it at least

Editor's rating 6.8

Samsung i8

The Samsung i8 isn't just an 8.2-megapixel digital camera -- it's also a portable multimedia player, world tour guide, text viewer, storage device and voice recorder. There are a few downsides -- including some design flaws -- but as far as all-in-ones go, this camera performs well enough

Editor's rating 5.9

Samsung NV24HD

The Samsung NV24HD makes the best of the NV series' smart touch interface. The intuitive menu system does away with wading through menus and with two mode dials, you have plenty of control. Add in excellent image quality and you've got one enormously clever compact

Samsung i70

The multi-purpose, multimedia Samsung i70 is a stylish and capable point-and-shoot camera. It includes a video recorder, multimedia player, text viewer and voice recorder. It looks terrific, with its 76mm screen taking up the whole back, and -- crucially -- is available in a range of pretty colours

Editor's rating 6.7

Samsung L830

Considering its low price, the Samsung L830 offers a lot of camera for experienced, budget-minded photographers. It gives snappers manual exposure modes and colour channel controls, plus a handful of scene presets and automatic shooting, so you can be as hands-on as you want

Editor's rating 6.4

Samsung NV15

The Samsung NV15 is one well-designed camera. With its 'smart touch' user interface, its touch-sensitive buttons make using the camera wonderfully simple, intuitive and tactile. A wealth of features are included to make your photos appear vibrant and crisp -- it's an exceptional all-rounder

Editor's rating 7.2

Samsung L77

For a simple, pocket-friendly point-and-shoot camera, try Samsung's new L77 compact. Its powerful lens stays completely inside the camera, allowing the camera to stay nice and slim while you're shooting. It handles most of the exposure controls manually so you don't have to. Talk about a hidden camera

Editor's rating 6.4

Samsung NV10

Part of Samsung's quirky, attractive NV series, the NV10 is an ultracompact 10-megapixel shooter with 3x optical zoom. Its Smart Touch interface takes some getting used to, but its vividly coloured images and impressive range of manual options certainly make it worth a look

Samsung NV11

The Samsung NV11 is one sensitive camera. Instead of using a joypad or a touchscreen, this 10-megapixel camera uses touch sensor buttons at the bottom and right of its screen to navigate menus and settings. Using its snapshot-friendly features is as simple as a slide of your finger

Editor's rating 7.2

Samsung S1050

Just like the S850, the Samsung S1050 offers several features for more experienced photographers, with exposure controls that grant a great deal of flexibility. It also includes face-tracking autofocus and a huge 76mm (3-inch) LCD. With its 10 megapixels, the S1050 is certainly a more mature option

Editor's rating 6.0

Samsung i7

Samsung's i7 could be a character in the new Transformers movie -- the screen rotates to turn it from a compact camera to an MP3 player to a portable media player. It takes decent pictures, too

Editor's rating 6.4

Samsung NV7 OPS

The inexpensive Samsung NV7 OPS offers a 7-megapixel CCD with sensor-shift mechanical image stabilisation, a broad set of semi-manual controls and a 7x zoom lens. But it's the mini-tank design and innovative interface that make it stand out

Editor's rating 6.8

Samsung L74 Wide

The 7-megapixel Samsung L74 Wide, as its name suggests, sports a wide-angle lens, which is great for taking photos of landscapes and groups of friends. Samsung also includes shake reduction for steady shots and includes a unique on-camera guidebook with information on world landmarks

Editor's rating 5.8

Samsung NV3

Samsung's NV3 is a stylish and slim compact camera, but it's by no means lacking in features. It boasts a very healthy 7 megapixels, plenty of scene modes and a built-in MP3 player -- handy if you're going away. The NV3's image quality is good too, and its affordable price tag makes it a strong contender if you're looking for an all-round ultracompact

Editor's rating 7.5

Samsung Digimax S600

Samsung calls its S-series cameras point-and-shoots, but these slim snappers offer controls that set them apart from the mindless auto-only cameras. The Digimax S600, however, does let itself down considerably on image quality, and it might well be worth stepping up to a better-performing model, such as the Samsung Digimax L60
