Samsung's PL200 is a stylish 14.2 megapixel point-and-shoot digital camera that sets a new benchmark in today's mid-range class. The PL200 combines advanced features such as high-definition video recording, powerful optics, and a large LCD screen, along with ease-of-use, making it a well-rounded digital camera.

The PL200 is billed as the ideal digital camera for those who value simplicity but also long for a more immersive digital imaging experience. With the PL200, you can experience the versatility offered by more advanced digital cameras, along with a comprehensive suite of automatic controls, allowing you to step up to the next level of digital camera without stepping outside of your comfort zone.

Measuring just 3.9" x 2.3" x 0.83", the camera sports a slim and stylish design that includes a large 3.0" LCD, allowing you to frame and review images and video with ease. The PL200 also incorporates a powerful 7x optical zoom lens (35mm film equivalent focal length of 31mm-217mm) that puts you in the middle of the action. Additionally, thanks to Samsung's Dual Image Stabilisation technology, which combines the benefits of both Optical and Digital Image Stabilisation, you have added stability and can capture clear, blur-free images with the utmost precision. Alongside high-quality still images, the PL200 can also record 720p HD video at 30 frames-per-second in H.264 format, giving users three times more recording capacity than MJPEG video.

A comprehensive suite of automatic controls helps you capture better images with ease. Samsung's advanced Smart Auto (Still & Movie) scene recognition technology takes the hassle out of capturing great still images or 720p HD video. With the simple touch of a button, you can switch the PL200 to Smart Auto (Still & Movie), and it will analyse the current shooting environment and subject and automatically select the most appropriate scene mode and settings for the best results possible.

The PL200 also offers Beauty Shot and Smile Shot modes, as well as Blink Detection and Face Detection features. In addition, you can take advantage of the Smart Album feature to help manage their images.
