Editorial note

The Samsung I8 stands out for its image quality thanks to its 8.2 MP CCD sensor, offering a maximum resolution of 3264 x 2448 pixels that allows for capturing precise details. Its features, such as the built-in flash and compatibility with various memory cards (mmc, sd), contribute to a satisfying user experience. Moreover, its compact and lightweight design (116 g) enhances portability, making this device ideal for capturing spontaneous moments. However, some drawbacks deserve mention. The 8.2 MP resolution may seem insufficient for users seeking very high-quality images. Additionally, the lack of compatibility with Mac systems limits its use for some users.

Finally, the flash recharge time of 4 seconds may be too long for quick shots. In terms of performance, the Samsung I8 is adequate for casual users, with a commendable battery life of 900 mAh, allowing for prolonged use without interruptions. The design of the device is considered practical and pleasant to use, although the value for money is fair, limiting it compared to higher expectations regarding features. Overall, the Samsung I8 is a solid choice for those looking for a compact and easy-to-use camera while being aware of its limitations.
