Samsung SL-310W 13.1MP Digital Camera overview

The Samsung SL-310W 13.1MP Digital Camera is ideal for the step-up shooter, highlighted by advanced features including a 13.6-Megapixel Resolution, Dual Image Stabilization and a 3.6x, 28mm wide-angle optical zoom lens. Dual Image Stabilization, which combines both Samsung's advanced Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) and Digital Image Stabilization (DIS), is a useful feature that helps reduce the blur found in images as a result of vibrations, hand shake or other unexpected movements at the moment of image capture. The Samsung SL-310W 13.1MP Digital Camera offers a number of user-friendly features, including 11 scene modes, auto red-eye fix and MPEG-4 video recording. When in Self Portrait mode, the SL310 automatically detects the user's face, adjusts focus and exposure, and will only allow a photo to be taken if the subject is centered in the frame. Face Detection technology makes taking pictures of family and friends a snap, as it detects up to nine faces and automatically adjusts focus and exposure to ensure better composition and image quality. Smile Shot automatically triggers the SL310 to take a photo only when the camera detects smiles on the subjects' faces, and Blink Detection will prevent a photo from being taken if the camera recognizes that a subject's eyes are closed. Featuring MPEG-4 video recording and in-camera editing controls, pause and then resume filming of video clips without having to save the clips as individual files.

Samsung SL-310W 13.1MP Digital Camera user reviews

"I love Samsung SL-310W 13.1MP Digital Camera. It's compact and very easy to use. The pictures are of great quality and won't miss any details. For many weeks, I was shopping for a more than a good camera, comparing all different brands and prices and I'm glad I was able to find this Samsung for such a great price $137.43... This camera takes great quality pictures compared to the best brands (sony, kodak, etc.) Samsung products are really good and have become my favorite brand, specially because I don't need to spend a lot of money to get great quality products. I have purchase several electronics of this brand and I'm very satisfied with this purchase too. Another great Samsun item to add to my collection... "

"First consider that I'm upgrading from a 7+ year old Sony Cyber-shot that performed admirably over the years. My wife and I finally agreed to buy a new camera and after a lot of research on [..] we chose this one. We bought it along with an 8 GB memory card and are very pleased with it. You have to read the instructions pretty thoroughly to make sure you understand all the settings, features, etc. but once you get it going it works great. There is no view finder, just a screen, but we've not been hindered by this one bit. "

"I considered all of the reviews by 'experts' on various product review sites and Consumer Reports. This camera was consistently rated highly. So were most of the Canon cameras, which are rated even higher.

However, if you look carefully at the reviews (especially Consumer Reports), you will see that the overall rating is heavily influenced by things such as ease of operation, features, etc. Yet, they mostly say this Samsung had the single advantage of superior picture quality.

I decided to forgo the other aspects of the reviews and get maximum picture quality. To me, the reason to use a camera is to get a good picture. I am not disappointed. I am not a camera buff and find this camera easy to use with more features than I'll ever use on a regular basis. Oh; and the picture quality is truly excellent - just what Samsung SL-310W 13.1MP Digital Camera should do. "

"Samsung SL-310W 13.1MP Digital Camera is a great camera with a great price. The photos turn out really nice, the 13.1MP are used well and not wasted, like some larger MP cameras. This camera is sleek and easy to use. The buttons are all similar to other digital cameras and recognizable for their functions. The screen is a decent size and very clear. This camera has a good range of 'extra features'. The zoom has a good digital and physical range, there is a wide angle lens, a video setting and a rechargeable battery. The camera comes with a USB charger, which can charge from the wall or your computer. The USB interface also allows for easy access to your files. There is an AV cable for showing your photos on TV, where they look pretty good. There is of course a slot for an SD card.
Since getting this camera, I've been pretty impressed with all of it's features. I feel like I got a real good deal of a camera for the price I paid. "

"Samsung SL-310W 13.1MP Digital Camera
combined the advantages of excellent pictures, lots of features and low price in a pocket-size package. The 28 mm equivalent zoom lens offers a wider than normal range for such small cameras. Small videos were easy to take for web applicatons like You-Tube.

Included software did a good job for picture editing, but video editing capability was minimal. The only weakness I encountered was low sound level during video recording (required being very close to the person speaking). On the other hand, my SLR doesn't offer any video recording.

Picture quality has been similar to my SLR in most situations, but I will use the smaller camera more often since it is easier to carry.

The bottom line: I would definitely buy this camera again. "
