Camera Overview — Samsung Pro815

The Samsung Pro815 is an 8-megapixel point-and-shoot camera built around a 2/3-inch sensor and powered by the Samsung Bionz image processor. It offers a maximum photo resolution of 3264x2448 pixels, with burst mode capable of up to 2.5 frames per second — a useful feature for capturing fast-moving subjects. The camera supports both sRGB and Adobe RGB color profiles, giving photographers some flexibility in how color data is captured and processed.

For storage, it relies on CompactFlash (CF) media, a format known for durability and broad availability. The rear display is a 3.5-inch TFT LCD at 235,000 pixels resolution, while an Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) — also at 235,000 pixels — provides an alternative framing option, particularly useful in bright outdoor conditions. Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with a 9-point configuration.

A standard ISO hot shoe is present for attaching external flash accessories, supplementing the built-in pop-up flash. The camera's ISO range runs from 50 to 400. Video recording is supported at up to 640x480 resolution at 30fps in 8-bit color.

The body is constructed from plastic and weighs 1009g, with dimensions of 145 x 87 x 79 mm. No image stabilization is present, and there is no weather sealing.
