Camera Overview — Samsung PL120

The Samsung PL120 DualView is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a distinctive dual-screen design that sets it apart from standard cameras in its class. It carries a 14MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, delivering a maximum still image resolution of 4320x3240 pixels — plenty of detail for everyday shooting and standard prints. The standout hardware feature is the dual LCD arrangement: a 2.7-inch rear display with 230K-dot resolution for standard framing and review, paired with a 1.5-inch front-facing display at 61K dots, which makes composing self-portraits or capturing subjects who want to see themselves significantly more intuitive.

The autofocus system combines contrast detection with face detection AF and subject tracking, giving the camera tools to keep people sharp in the frame. Video capability tops out at 720p at 30fps. Image stabilization is handled digitally via Electronic IS.

The camera stores footage and images on microSD or microSDHC cards and connects to computers via USB. It runs on a BP70A battery and weighs just 110g with dimensions of 94 x 54.5 x 18.8 mm — a genuinely pocketable package. ISO sensitivity spans 80 to 3200, and a built-in flash handles low-light situations when needed.

Description — Samsung PL120

The Samsung PL120 DualView compact camera is built around a practical dual-screen concept that addresses one of the most common frustrations with point-and-shoot photography: framing self-portraits blind. The 1.5-inch front LCD (61K dots) lets subjects see exactly how they'll appear in the shot, while the 2.7-inch rear display (230K dots) handles standard framing and playback duties. Imaging is handled by a 14MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format, producing stills at up to 4320x3240 pixels.

The autofocus system covers contrast detection, face detection AF, and subject tracking to help keep people sharp. For video, the camera records at up to 720p at 30fps. The ISO 80–3200 range, built-in flash, and Digital/Electronic IS round out the imaging tools.

Storage uses microSD and microSDHC cards, and the camera connects via USB. At 110g and just 94 x 54.5 x 18.8 mm, it fits easily in a pocket and runs on a BP70A battery.
