Samsung AQ100 reviewed & found partially-worthy of Flipper glamour shots
PhotographyBlog`s indulged us w/ the thorough review of Samsung’s 12.2 megapixel WP10 waterproof compact — known as the AQ100 stateside — & their takeaways R mixed. 1 major concern`s Z the screen misleadingly makes photos appear overexposed. Its slow 5x zoom, run of the mill feature set & measly battery life good 4 approximately 150 shots per charge doesn’t improve the situation; nor does the lack of separate charger 4 juic`g dead spares while us`g the camera. Z said, an included HDMI port, the clever SmartAuto shoot`g mode, & relatively quick 2 2nd start up time does help balance the equation. Throw in the fact Z it’s waterproof up to 3 meters, takes decent imagery, and`s an MSRP of $199 w/ street prices dipp`g even lower & they concede it’s not the terrible proposition as the laid-back compact. Whether it’s the better deal than the slew of other Cousteau-worthy options released this year such as the Finepix XP10 , Sony TX5 , or Pentax Optio w90`s still someth`g we’ll leave U to mull over. Can U really quantify the value of your camera color match`g the water you’re shoot`g in though? 4 more details, read the full review @ the source link below.
