Camera Overview — Samsung Digimax V800

The Samsung Digimax V800 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around an 8MP, 1/1.8-inch sensor. It offers an ISO range of 50 to 400, giving shooters a degree of flexibility in varying light conditions. The camera features a 2.5-inch TFT LCD display with 230,000 dots of resolution, which was a generous screen size for its category.

An optical viewfinder is also present as a secondary framing option. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with 5 focus points, covering a solid spread of the frame for a compact camera of this type. For image stability, the V800 relies on Digital/Electronic IS rather than an optical system.

The body is constructed from metal, keeping dimensions at a trim 101 x 60 x 26 mm and weight at 180g — genuinely pocketable. Storage is handled via SD card or internal storage. The camera supports USB connectivity for file transfer.

The battery is a dedicated SLB-0837 Li-ion unit, rated for approximately 200 shots per charge. Color profile options include Standard, Black & White, Sepia, and Negative for both photo and video capture. Video can be recorded at up to 30fps at 8-bit color depth.

A built-in pop-up flash rounds out the feature set.

Optical Viewfinder: Provides a secondary framing option beyond the rear LCD, useful for bright outdoor shooting or conserving battery.

5-Point Contrast AF: Contrast detection autofocus with 5 focus points offers reasonable subject coverage across the frame for a compact of this type.

SD + Internal Storage: Supports both SD cards and built-in internal storage, giving flexibility when a memory card is not available.
