Camera Overview — Samsung PL100

The Samsung PL100 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor capable of producing images at up to 4000x3000 pixel resolution. One of its most distinctive design choices is its dual-screen setup — a 2.7-inch, 230,000-dot LCD on the rear and a smaller front-facing display, making it a practical choice for self-portraits and group shots where framing without a rear screen would otherwise be guesswork. The camera handles a broad sensitivity range from ISO 80 to ISO 3200, giving it some flexibility in varying lighting conditions.

Autofocus relies on a contrast-detection system, which is standard for cameras in this class. Video recording tops out at 720p at 30fps, covering casual everyday video needs. Image stabilization is handled digitally rather than optically.

Storage is flexible, with support for SD, SDHC, microSD, and microSDHC cards. Connectivity includes USB, though no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is present. The camera weighs just 111g and measures 99 x 59 x 20mm, making it genuinely pocketable.

A built-in flash is included, and power comes from a proprietary rechargeable battery.
