Get closer without moving an inch
Samsung's 14.2 megapixel camera is the next generation in high-resolution compact cameras. It comes fully equipped with a true-color filtered 14.2 megapixel CCD and boasts a powerful 7x optical zoom. In addition, this high-resolution camera produces incredibly detailed images that can be used for printing poster-sized photos.

Shake, rattle or stroll
Even the tiniest shake can ruin your shot. Dual Image Stabilization solves that. Samsung has combined the revolutionary technology of their ultimate Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) mechanism with the advanced algorithms of Digital Image Stabilization (DIS). Giving you sharp images no matter the condition. Whether it's low light, zooming or just a case of plain old shaky hands, your photos come out sharp and clear. So let your Samsung camera shake things up. In a good way.

When it comes to brightness, it’s brilliant
When we engineered the Samsung PL200 to be bright, we meant it in both senses of the word. It’s intelligent and luminous, both. It has a 3.0" LCD for improved contrast and color reproduction, which allows you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. And its Intelligent LCD brightness automatically detects environmental illumination and adjusts the LCD brightness for optimal image viewing. It does the thinking for you, which makes the PL200 a smart choice.

Record movies in the palm of your hand
The PL200 is like having a compact HD video camera that also takes professional-grade photos. It records HD video in 1280x720p resolution at 30 frames per second. Its H.264 format also allows you to record twice as much as an MP4 and four times more than an MJPEG– the format used in many other digital cameras– and delivers much higher video and sound quality.

Just what you had in mind
Turn any moment into a perfect memory. And a professional-looking photo. Whether it's a few friends from last night’s party or the moon reflecting off the lake, Smart Auto (Still & Movie) instantly analyzes key elements of your composition then automatically adjusts to capture the perfect shot with multitude of different photo modes and movie modes. And since life isn’t a still life, the camera’s object tracking feature captures those subjects that just don’t, or won’t, stand still.

The camera loves you
No one has a bad side with PL200's Perfect Portrait system. Sure it fixes red-eye, but this next generation face detection technology even detects blinking. So you're always sure eyes are open and smiles are bright. In addition it evens skin tones, erases blemishes and removes dark circles. And with different level settings, you can control how much retouching you do. Not that your friends and family need any.

Object Tracking AF
Achieve the beautiful composition you’re looking for by simply selecting any object on the camera display. Object Tracking AF technology will track the object and focus for you—all you need to do is press the shutter button.

High Sensitivity ISO 3200
Nobody likes low-light noise. And with the PL200 you won't get any. Its ISO of 3200 delivers crystal clear indoor shots even in low light and sharp details.
