Camera Overview — Samsung ES17

The Samsung ES17 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 1/2.3-inch sensor with 12MP resolution, processed by Samsung's own Digital Image Processor. It's designed for casual, everyday shooting with a straightforward feature set that keeps things accessible. The camera offers an ISO range of 80 to 1600, giving it reasonable flexibility across different lighting conditions.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with face detection AF across 9 focus points, making it practical for portraits and group shots. The 2.5-inch LCD display with 230,000 dots serves as the primary shooting interface, and there is no viewfinder. Image stabilization is digital/electronic rather than optical.

The built-in flash supports Auto, Red-eye reduction, Fill-in, and Off modes, covering the most common flash scenarios. For storage, the ES17 accepts SD and SDHC cards. Burst shooting is supported at up to 1.5fps.

The camera runs on standard AA alkaline batteries with an approximate 200-shot rating per the CIPA standard. Its plastic body measures 98 x 61 x 23 mm and weighs 120g, making it genuinely pocketable. Connectivity includes USB, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.
