Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Samsung Maxima 80 GL QD Zoom Date 35mm CameraCustomer Review: Better than many "new" ones but avg compared to old Summary: 3 Stars
This is an OK camera - better than two more expensive cameras I've recently reviewed. I've only shot about three rolls so far but haven't experience any strong disappointment with the results. The infrared focusing technology is at least ten years old, but that is one reason why I chose this camera! Your compositions are more "chaos-forgiving" than your currently manufactured computerized image detection processes (the kind that forbid you from taking basic pictures of things like cakes and scattered leaves!) So, it's nice to have that "flexibility" back that was once a feature of older cameras. Samsung Maxima 80GL QD has a much faster shutter speed than many other current zoom point&shoots from other manufacturers. This faster shutter speed theoretically makes for some sharper pictures. I speculate that this faster shutter speed compensates for (maybe) the old infrared focus sensing and (I assume) poorer-than-Nikon lens quality. At a glance, the images are nearly as crisp as my Nikon OneTouch90's capabilities (which, aside from sharpness, is a bad camera for indoor photography (even with ISO400 or 800 film)). The standard "image-flattening" disadvantage of your zoom cameras is minimized with the limited 80mm zoom range, which is good. The red-eye reduction option doesn't seem to be working, and a few pictures still come out a little darker than I prefer; but, Yay! No more "greasy" portraits like the OneTouch! So far, I'm glad I bought this Samsung because I haven't found anything else better yet (and I don't care for the results of the Olympus Stylus' either). Decent buy. It's still not as good as my old Nikon ZoomTouch400; but, I don't know of any point&shoots better to recommend at present. The next camera I buy will be a well-researched SLR (oh, and a vervy Lomo for abberrational fun.)
