No matter how the performance of the camera is great, unless users know much about cameras, it might just waste money. (Some of my friends who don’t know anything about cameras wanted me to recommend a DSLR. However, after my recommendation, I’m so sorry that they just take a shot in P mode.) I think it’s very important to know yourself and the usage of the camera, but some are just want to buy an expensive and high grade model.

If you are not a professional and not used to cameras, it’s better to buy a camera easy to use, I think. (You don’t need to spend a lot of money to buy an expensive camera for the first time. I recommend that you try to know a camera and then upgrade cameras.) The PL55 which I’m reviewing is a very easy camera to use, so it’s very good for beginners and those who enjoy cameras just for fun. (It includes Smart Auto and other functions making it easy to control.)

Unlike the ST550(TL225) and ST1000(CL65), it doesn’t support unique functions, but the price and performance ratio was really good. Let’s take a look with the review.

Easy usage is a very common concept in advertisements of a lot of digital devices. In order to get an attention from customers, the easy usage has to come first, and then we can talk about special functions and other things. Even though it has a lot of the best technology or functions, if it’s difficult to use, it’s not qualified as a commercial product for ordinary people. Recently, people have interests in DSLR for professionals. However, looking around, there are a lot of people having more interest in convenient usage than its quality. They might be our brother, sister, or parents. For these people, Samsung Digital Imaging has released the PL55. Let’s take a look at the main and convenient functions on by one.

1. Easy & Enjoy

Various functions, ultra wide angle lens, ultra slim design, etc. They were good, but I was wondering I really needed them. After buying a high level expensive camera, we actually didn’t use all of the functions of the camera a lot of times. Just expensive cameras mean nothing. Normally, we just take a picture for fun with it. Considering a practical camera to take a life, an auto compact camera like the PL series from Samsung is the best. Just by pushing the shutter, the PL55 takes a great picture and it fulfills the needs of customers properly.
