Whether you're taking a self-portrait in your living room or posing with friends on vacation, the new PL101 gets it right every time. Its dynamic Dual Display feature lets you see the shot on the 2.7" 230k TFT LCD and 1.5" Front LCD before taking it, so you can smile for the camera and be the photographer at the same time. The PL101 can even automatically frame and take the shot for you, capturing the moment perfectly. And say goodbye to tripods; its Tilt-back body was also designed with taking the ultimate self-portrait in mind. Factor in its Smart Auto feature that uses scene recognition to make sure you get the photo you're imagining, and you have a surefire memory maker in your hands.

Who needs a professional photographer when you have the PL101? With a Dual display 2.7" LCD there's an easier way to take perfect self-portraits. Using the 1.5" Front LCD, users can see
their self portrait before taking it. And with a quick button on top, users can easily access front LCD functions like: Self portrait (Still & Movie), Children mode and Couple shot. Pose with a friend and Couple Shot will automatically recognise and snapthe two of you together without the need for pressing a button and shaking the camera in the process

Just what you had in mind
You see the image you want in your head. You point the PL101. And Smart Auto sees it too. This scene recognition technology actually chooses from 16 different settings ranging from landscape to portrait automatically. Then adjusts for the perfect shot. Whether it's catching your friends on a night on the town or a waterfall off a mountain. What you get is exactly what you had in mind. Plus all the credit.

Get closer without moving an inch.
Samsung's 12.2 megapixel camera is the next generation in high-resolution compact cameras. It comes fully equipped with a true-colour filtered 12.2 megapixel CCD and boasts a powerful 3X optical zoom. In addition, this high-resolution camera produces incredibly detailed images that can be used for printing poster-sized photos.

VGA quality video. Now in a compact camera.
If you prefer still shots to movies but want to leave your options open (and leave your camcorder at home) the PL100 is right for you. You'll get 640x480 quality video at 30 frames per second. You even can use the 3x optical zoom to get up close and vividly personal. And when things get dicey, you can even pause your recording. You'll give up nothing, except carrying around that extra camera.

Shake, Rattle or Stroll
Even the tiniest shake can ruin your shot. The PL100's Digital Image Stabilization solves that. Digital Image Stabilization gives 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 the PL100 shake things up. In a good way.
