Camera OverviewSamsung Digimax V40

The Samsung Digimax V40 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 4MP sensor housed in a 1/1.8-inch imaging chip. Designed for consumer convenience, it occupies the classic compact form factor that prioritized portability above all else. At 230g and measuring 106 x 56 x 37mm, the Digimax V40 is light enough to slip into a jacket pocket or small bag without adding meaningful bulk to any kit.

The camera is categorized as a point-and-shoot, meaning the intended experience is straightforward: pick it up, frame your shot, and fire.

With a 4MP resolution, the camera produces images suitable for standard prints and everyday documentation.

The body dimensions keep things compact without feeling cramped in the hand. For collectors, photography students studying the evolution of digital compacts, or buyers simply looking for an affordable and functional point-and-shoot with a recognizable sensor size, the Digimax V40 represents a clear and specific set of capabilities defined by its hardware.
