Samsung follows the same pattern in all markets: offer a quality product at a lower price than the competition. The system works flawlessly – just look at the dynamics of market shares of the company, but sometimes leads to strange curiosities. Like the PL-series and specifically the Samsung PL210. It was supposed to be a budget camera, stripped down and cheapened – but the device turned out to be stronger and better than many mature and more expensive compacts.
14.2 MP 27-270 10x 3″ $200
Weighing in at under 150 g and only 20 mm thick, the PL210 has a 10x zoom lens with a respectable wide angle of 27-270 mm, a 14 megapixel sensor and a 3-inch display.
The screen is not the proprietary organic LEDs, which is unfortunate, because these screens are too good. But many other cameras have not only worse displays, they’re smaller too.
There is also nothing to find fault with in the software. Intelligence PL210 analyzes the composition and distinguishes between scenes, remember faces of friends if you shoot them often enough , focus in tracking mode and help record video 720p , and improve the photos and movies filters like imitation soft focus and stylization in halftone raster or old movies.
All in all, an amazing story: not being able to make a budget product not because it turns out bad, but because it turns out too good..
What are the specific features or aspects of the Samsung PL210 compact camera that make it stand out and perform better than more expensive compact cameras in its price range?
How does the Samsung PL210 outperform other more expensive compact cameras despite being marketed as a budget option?
Wow, that’s impressive! Could you please elaborate on the specific features or performance aspects of the Samsung PL210 that make it surpass more expensive compact cameras? I’m curious to know what sets it apart and why it’s considered a stronger option despite its affordability.
