Manual of product SL605
Editorial note
The Samsung SL605 is a compact camera that stands out for its exceptional image quality thanks to its 12.1 MP CCD sensor, allowing for precise capture of every detail. The built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp photos and videos even in motion, which is ideal for dynamic shots. Additionally, the 5x optical zoom offers appreciated flexibility for photographing distant subjects. The various autofocus modes optimize accuracy and responsiveness, enhancing the user experience. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The maximum video resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is relatively low compared to current standards, limiting the quality of recorded videos. Furthermore, the internal memory of only 9.9 MB is insufficient for storing a significant number of photos or videos, necessitating frequent use of external memory cards. The lack of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connectivity also limits options for sharing photos and videos directly from the device. Finally, while manual focus allows for precise control, it can be cumbersome for users seeking a faster and more intuitive photography experience. In terms of performance, the device scores 70, while its user experience is rated satisfactory with a score of 75. The nickel-metal hybrid (NiMH) battery technology is a strong point, achieving a score of 80, but the value for money is average at 65 due to the aforementioned limitations. The sleek and modern design of the SL605 is also appreciated, with a score of 78. Overall, the Samsung SL605 is a good choice for those looking for a compact camera with high image quality, but it may not suit all users due to its limitations in storage and connectivity.Score details
