Camera Overview — Samsung i8

The Samsung VLUU i8 is a point-and-shoot compact camera built around an 8MP, 1/2.5-inch sensor. It targets everyday shooters who want a slim, portable camera with a straightforward feature set. The body is constructed from a plastic and metal combination, measuring 91 x 58 x 20 mm and weighing in at 146g, making it genuinely pocketable for casual use.

The 2.7-inch TFT LCD display renders at 230,000 dots, giving you a reasonably sized screen for composing shots and reviewing images in the field. Autofocus is handled via Contrast Detection and Face Detection AF, which helps with portraits and group shots without manual intervention. Image stabilization is digital rather than optical, providing some compensation for camera shake during handheld shooting.

The ISO range runs from 50 to 1600, giving you flexibility across a range of lighting situations. Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or the camera's internal storage. Video captures at up to 30fps in 8-bit color with an sRGB color profile.

Connectivity includes USB, though there is no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth. A built-in flash with multiple modes is included, and battery life is rated at approximately 200 shots per charge using the SLB-0837 Lithium-Ion battery.
