Camera Overview — Samsung PL200

The Samsung PL200 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor, making it a straightforward option for everyday photography. The camera features a 3.0-inch fixed LCD display with 230,000 dots of resolution, giving you a reasonably sized screen for composing shots and reviewing images in the field. For focusing, the PL200 relies on contrast detection autofocus, a standard system for cameras in this category.

Image stabilization is handled by a Dual IS system that combines lens and body-based digital stabilization, which can help reduce blur in less-than-ideal lighting or when shooting handheld. The ISO range runs from 80 to 3200, offering some flexibility across different lighting conditions. Video recording tops out at 30fps, and the camera supports frame rates of both 30fps and 15fps.

Storage is covered via SD, SDHC, and built-in internal storage, so you can shoot out of the box even without a card. The plastic body measures 100 x 60 x 21 mm and weighs just 170g, making it genuinely pocketable. The BP70A Lithium-Ion battery is rated for approximately 200 shots per charge.

A built-in flash is included, and USB connectivity is supported, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. Color profile options include Standard, Vivid, and Portrait.

Description — Samsung PL200

The Samsung PL200 is a compact point-and-shoot camera centered on a 14MP sensor in a 1/2.3-inch format. Its 3.0-inch fixed LCD with 230,000 dots of resolution serves as the sole framing and playback screen, as no viewfinder is included. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system, and image stabilization comes via a Dual IS (Lens + Body) setup using digital stabilization.

The ISO range spans 80 to 3200, and video can be captured at up to 30fps (with 15fps also available). The camera stores images on SD, SDHC, or built-in internal storage, and a built-in flash is on board for low-light situations. A BP70A Lithium-Ion battery powers the camera for roughly 200 shots per charge.

The plastic body measures 100 x 60 x 21 mm and weighs 170g, making it one of the more portable options available.
