If you like things even sharper, there's an in-camera slider for bumping it up as well as contrast and saturation. And as long as you can keep the ISO low, you'll get reasonably sharp results with good fine detail. Macro can be entered automatically in Smart Auto mode or set to it in Program mode. It's able to focus as close as 2 inches from a subject. If you like taking close-ups, the PL200 does pretty well in Macro mode. The spot could be better filled with a user-selectable scene mode or custom shooting settings.

Most manufacturers make this a menu option, so why Samsung continues to make this a full mode you have to enter is beyond me. Although there isn't full control over shutter speed and aperture, there is a Night mode that lets you set the shutter speed and aperture for long exposures using a tripod (up to 8 seconds).Īlso in the Mode menu is Dual IS, which uses the camera's optical image stabilization along with electronic image stabilization. Switching to Program adds control over exposure compensation, ISO, white balance, and metering, along with a few other things like face and smile detection and color effects.

If you want to take some of the guesswork out of the process there are 13 scene-shooting settings, including a Frame Guide option that lets you compose a shot, capture part of the precomposed scene on screen, and then hand the camera off to someone else to take the picture while you get in the shot. The Smart Auto mode automatically chooses the appropriate camera settings based on 16 scene types-everything from Portrait and Landscape to Macro Text and Action. Though the PL200 does offer some extra shooting options beyond basic point-and-shoot use, it's primarily designed for those who don't stray from auto modes.

Video quality is OK, on par with good DVD video, which is disappointing considering its 720p HD resolution. Clipped highlights are pretty common, too. Exposure is generally correct, though I did occasionally get shots that were overexposed.

White balance is good, but its presets were better than the auto white balance, and taking a quick manual reading is preferable to either. Smart Auto seems to have punchier color than in Program mode, but that could have more to do with Samsung's settings for individual scene types. There is visible softness in the corners that can make subjects look smeary when viewed at larger sizes.Ĭolor is very good: bright, pleasing, and fairly accurate. Center sharpness is very good on this Samsung, and it's consistent from edge to edge, except for maybe the very edges. There's no significant distortion when the lens is extended, though. There is some slight barrel distortion at the wide end of the lens. It's not a bad camera by any means, but not a standout either. The thing is, Samsung didn't really do much to differentiate this model from its competition, so it ends up looking like just another pocket camera that happens to have a slightly longer lens than smaller, less expensive models.

They tend to be less than $200, too, which makes them very attractive the PL200 starts at $180, but can easily be found for much less.
