Samsung SL820

The Samsung SL820 is the most expensive in the Samsung SL line of cameras but it also is the best for high quality pictures. For a small digital camera the 28mm wide angle lens, 12.2 mega-pixels and the 5.00x zoom are pretty good, as is the large 3.0 inch LCD screen. The optical zoom has a 35 - 175 mm equivalent focal length range and a maximum aperture from f/3.5 to f/5.5 across the zoom range. The SL820 has dual image stabilization and high-definition video recording. It has autoexposure / autofocus features to help it take the best picture and arrange the settings based on where people are in the frame.  Other standard features are included, such as: Smart Auto mode, Face Detection, Blink Detection, Smile Shot, and Beauty Shot.
