Camera Overview — Samsung S830

The Samsung S830 is a compact point-and-shoot digital camera built around an 8MP, 1/1.8-inch sensor, making it a capable entry-level shooter for everyday casual photography. Its slim body is constructed from plastic with metal accents, measuring 100 x 62 x 27 mm and weighing 220g — light and pocketable for on-the-go use. The camera features a 2.7-inch TFT LCD display with 112,000 dots of resolution, giving you a reasonably clear view for composing shots and reviewing images.

Autofocus is handled by a contrast detection system with a single focus point, keeping operation simple and predictable. The ISO range runs from 50 to 1600, offering flexibility from bright outdoor scenes to lower-light situations. Image stabilization is provided digitally via the built-in Digital/Electronic IS system.

A built-in pop-up flash with multiple modes covers a range of lighting scenarios without needing an external accessory. Storage is handled via SD and SDHC cards. The camera runs on 2x AA batteries, rated for approximately 120–150 shots per charge, which means standard AA batteries are easy to source anywhere.

Burst mode is available at up to 2 frames per second, and color profiles include Standard, Vivid, Black & White, and Sepia. Video records at 30fps in 8-bit Standard color. USB connectivity is included for file transfer.
