The style and functionality that comes with the Samsung PL80 will surpass any expectations you had in a compact digital camera. The slim casing packs in amazing features including 5x optical zoom and Smart Auto 2,0, which is a very useful device that automatically adjusts the camera settings to match the picture being taken. All there is to do is point and shoot.

Capture More Of Your Life
You already have the eye. Now all you need is the camera to capture the world exactly the way you see it. The PL80 combines a 28mm ultra wide angle lens with a 5x zoom. Letting you can fit more in frame while delivering a deeper perspective. And the 12.2mega pixels provides the sharp, crisp detail to reveal all kinds of things. Including what a great photographer you are.

Shake, rattle or stroll
Even the tiniest shake can ruin your shot. The PL80’s 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 the PL80 shake things up. In a good way.

When it comes to brightness, it’s brilliant.
When we engineered the Samsung PL80 to be bright, we meant it in both senses of the word. It’s intelligent and luminous, both. It has a 3” LCD for improved contrast and colour 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 WB600 a smart choice.

High Sensitivity ISO 3200
With a true ISO 3200 setting, your Samsung camera can effectively minimise noise for crystal clear images. The super speed sensitive ISO 3200 feature give you the ability to take amazingly detailed photoseven under low light conditions. Plus, ISO 3200 lets you take perfectly focused photos of fast-moving images, like during a sporting event. (ISO 3200 : up to 3M)

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.

Lost. And then found.
Say you've got about 2000 photos stored on your PL80 and you're looking for one in particular. You could flip through all 2000 or have the Smart Album feature do it for you. It will search and find photos just the way you want. Go straight to that shot you took whether it was last week or last Friday. You can search by colour ton, or even by file type. So no matter how many memories you have crammed onto your memory card, getting directly to the one you want is a no brainer.
