Editorial note

The Samsung ST96 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to a 14.6 MP CMOS sensor that allows for precise detail capture. Its compactness and lightweight of 110 g make it an ideal choice for photographers on the go, facilitating transport and everyday use. Additionally, features such as Full HD video recording and a variety of flash modes enhance the user experience, making this device versatile in various shooting conditions. However, some drawbacks are worth mentioning. The lack of image stabilization can lead to motion blur, which is unfortunate when capturing photos or videos in motion. Furthermore, manual focus may frustrate users who prefer quick automatic focus. The 2.7-inch LCD screen, while functional, offers a relatively low resolution of 320 x 240 pixels, which can hinder the viewing of image details. Lastly, the internal memory of only 16 MB is insufficient for intensive use and requires external memory cards to store a significant number of photos. It is also worth noting that the ST96 is not compatible with Mac operating systems, which may disappoint some users. In terms of performance, the product receives an overall satisfactory score, although improvements are possible. The compact design is a major asset, while the battery life is reasonable, offering prolonged use. However, the value for money could be improved, especially considering the mentioned limitations. In summary, the Samsung ST96 is a good choice for those looking for a compact camera with interesting features, while keeping in mind its few weaknesses.
