Camera Overview — Samsung PL210

The Samsung PL210 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around a 14MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor. It captures stills at a maximum resolution of 4320x3240 pixels and offers a burst mode capable of up to 3 frames per second, making it suitable for casual action or event photography. The camera features a Dual IS system combining both lens-based and in-body image stabilization, helping reduce camera shake in everyday shooting conditions.

Autofocus relies on contrast detection and face detection, with subject tracking also supported — a useful set of tools for keeping moving subjects sharp without manual intervention. Video recording tops out at 720p at 30fps in 8-bit color, with color profile options including Standard and Smart Filter Effects. The 3.0-inch TFT LCD display with 230,000 dots serves as the primary framing and review tool, as no viewfinder is present.

Storage is handled via microSD and microSDHC cards, and connectivity includes USB. The camera body is constructed from a plastic and metal composite, weighs 138g, and measures 96.8 x 58 x 20.3 mm — a genuinely pocketable form factor. A built-in pop-up flash with multiple modes is included.

ISO sensitivity runs from 80 to 3200. Battery life is rated at approximately 170 shots per charge using the included BP85A rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
