Samsung ES55

20 Aug, 2009, 10:00 am IST | Nikhil Singh | Point and Shoot

If you're style conscious and looking for a camera that doesn't burn a hole in your wallet, then the Samsung ES55 might just be a worthy contender. Let's find out...

The ES55 is sleek and small at just 90 x 59 x 22 mm in size, and weighs just 116 g. The body features straight lines, curved edges and a compact frame, giving it a petite but industrial look that's enhanced by its dark gray powder coated paint job. The camera's also available in silver and pink.

The button placement's convenient. The shutter release and power buttons are on top, but there's no zoom toggle ring around the shutter release. Instead, the zoom toggle's at the back of the camera, under which are the menu button, navigation pad, the preview button and the function key. Besides these there's a 2.5-inch 230,000 pixel LCD screens.

At one glance, you can tell that the ES55 is built for portability and good looks. The frame's sturdy and not cheap looking like many other budget cameras, and the LCD performed well even outdoors. Where build quality's concerned, the ES55 gave us nothing to complain about.
