Camera Overview — Samsung CL80

The Samsung CL80 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor and housed in a hydro-formed metal body measuring 104 x 58 x 20 mm and weighing just 150g. One of its most distinctive features is the 3.7-inch AMOLED touchscreen, which serves as the primary interface for navigating menus, reviewing shots, and controlling autofocus — a notably large and vibrant display for a camera in this class. The CL80 supports an ISO range of 80 to 6400, giving shooters flexibility across a range of lighting conditions.

Autofocus is handled via contrast detection and face detection AF. For image stabilization, the camera uses a Dual IS system combining both lens and digital correction. Connectivity is a clear priority here: the CL80 includes Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, USB, and HDMI output, which was forward-thinking for a compact camera of its era.

Storage uses microSD and microSDHC cards. Video capability tops out at 720p at 30fps in 8-bit color. The built-in pop-up flash handles low-light fill, and the SLB-11A Li-ion battery is rated for approximately 200 shots per charge.

Color profile options include Standard, Smart Filter, and Photo Style Selector for stills.
