Camera Overview — Samsung PL90

The Samsung PL90 is a compact point-and-shoot camera built around a 12MP, 1/2.3-inch sensor and designed for straightforward everyday photography. Its slim plastic body measures 94.3 x 57 x 19.2 mm and weighs just 110g, making it genuinely pocketable for casual use. The 2.7-inch TFT LCD display with 230,000 dots serves as the primary framing tool, as there is no viewfinder.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast-detection system with 9 focus points, covering typical point-and-shoot shooting scenarios. The ISO range runs from 80 to 3200, giving some flexibility in varied lighting conditions. A built-in pop-up flash provides supplemental lighting when needed.

Image stabilization is digital rather than optical, keeping the physical design compact. For storage, the camera accepts microSD and microSDHC cards in addition to internal storage, and connectivity is handled via USB. Video recording is supported at up to 30fps in 8-bit color, with a Standard color profile.

The battery is a dedicated SLB-10A rechargeable Li-ion unit rated for approximately 150 shots per charge. Color picture styles include Standard, Vivid, Black & White, and Sepia, offering basic creative options for everyday shooters.
