Camera Overview — Samsung ES28

The Samsung ES28 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor, making it a straightforward choice for everyday casual photography. The camera features a 2.5-inch fixed LCD display with 230,000 dots of resolution, giving you a clear enough view for composing shots and reviewing images. ISO sensitivity spans from 80 to 1600, offering a reasonable range for both bright outdoor conditions and lower-light indoor situations.

For focusing, the ES28 uses a contrast detection autofocus system supplemented by Face Detection AF with multi-point coverage, simplifying portrait and people photography for less experienced shooters. Image stabilization is handled digitally, helping to reduce the appearance of camera shake. The camera shoots video at up to 30fps with 8-bit color.

Storage is flexible, supporting SD, SDHC, and internal storage, so you can get shooting right out of the box. One practical standout is the battery system — the ES28 runs on standard AA alkaline or NiMH batteries, eliminating the need for a proprietary charger. The plastic body weighs just 116g and measures 97 x 62 x 27mm, making it genuinely pocketable.

Color profile options include Standard, Vivid, Black & White, and Sepia. Connectivity is available via USB.
