Also omitted from the box is a traditional mains charger as such. Instead, as is now becoming more commonplace, a dual-use short USB lead is provided: one end of which slots into the vacant port on the camera, the other end connecting up to a mains adapter plug. Thus the battery is charged in-camera, meaning that even if you were to invest in a spare cell, the MV800 remains out of action each time you want to recharge it. Out of the comparison group, the MV800 scored the lowest in our noise tests. However, looking at the crops, we don't think that it's really the worst performer of the group. The Canon ELPH 500 HS and Samsung PL120 both scored better, and their shots do look superior to the MV800's at higher ISO settings. But the Casio Tryx earned the best noise score in our group, yet its photos look atrocious. It uses so much destructive noise reduction that it's difficult to see what the photo was supposed to be in the first place.

The 16.3-megapixel BSI CMOS sensor and brighter F2.5 lens help deliver top-notch image quality even in low-light situations without the typical bleaching effect of artificial light. The Low Light Shot mode automatically selects the camera’s best setting when shooting in low light conditions. By taking three continuous shots and merging them together into one, this feature helps to create an image without the blurs and noise. In addition to low-light settings, the MV900F is also designed for ease of use in the brightest sunlight. The upgraded display boasts a 3.3-inch WVGA AMOLED touch display for seeing clearer images even in intense light. Instant Sharing without Compromise it's nice that companies seem to be using brighter lenses now...but so are phone companies. compacts need to have bigger sensors to differentiate themselves. half-baked wifi, a billion scene modes that are worse than the apps out there, etc...aren't going to cut it anymore. Here are two 100% crops which have been Saved as Web - Quality 50 in Photoshop. The right-hand image has had some sharpening applied in Photoshop. The out-of-the camera images are a little soft and ideally benefit from some further sharpening in a program like Adobe Photoshop. You can also change the in-camera sharpening level. The MV800 includes a selection of 'Smart Filter' digital effects among its app-style iconography, including the familiar pinhole camera-like vignetting feature and perspective warping fisheye. A Smart Album feature can also organize pictures by faces as well as by date. With the MV800, the smartphone influence is more obvious than ever. Everything from the touch-based control to the "home" button to the app-like treatment of the shooting modes shouts "Samsung Galaxy." It's an interesting take, and one that could've bombed horribly; on a more serious camera, this would not work. But the MV800 is aimed squarely at casual users, the types of folks who have an iPod Touch but haven't heard of the Nikon D40. In that context, it's fine that the MV800 works more like a gadget than a camera.Press Release: Samsung’s MV900F Camera Delivers Beautiful Portraits from Any Angle, Plus Built-In Wi-Fi Sharing On-the-Go Easy Especially compacts, it's like companies aren't even trying to innovate, and it gets boring and frustrating. Slightly lower down on the scale of usefulness is a Pose Guide mode that serves up an on-screen outline of a classic model pose for you to arrange your subject into, an Intelligent Portrait mode that takes three shots for the price of one, and a Face Zoom feature that automatically zooms in when it detects a face to get a slightly tighter crop of your subject.

RIDGEFIELD PARK, N.J.,July 18, 2012 –Samsung Electronics America Inc., a market leader and award-winning innovator in consumer electronics, today announced the availability of the MV900F, the latest digital camera to join the company’s Wi-Fi enabled SMART line-up. Following the success of Samsung’s MV800, the MV900F also features Samsung’s innovative 180-degree MultiView display, making it easy to capture and share creative self-portraits from any angle. The MV900F’s shooting flexibility does not end with its rotating display. With Samsung’s unique Gesture Shot, which uses motion-sensing technology, users can zoom and snap a photo with simple hand motions from across the room.Auto: 1/8 - 1/2000sec / Program: 1 - 1/2000sec / Night: 16 - 1/2000sec / AEB,continuous: 1/4~1/2000sec Exposure Control As a CCD-sensor based camera, the MV800 is a slow performer. There is a continuous drive mode, but no burst mode to speak of, not even at a reduced resolution. Speed was clearly not on the minds of Samsung's engineers when they designed this camera. Shot to Shot ({{product.raw_scores['Shot to Shot Score']}}) The front of the camera is adorned with a 5x Schneider zoom that offers a 35mm focal range equivalent of 26-130mm, with a maximum aperture of f/3.3 at 26mm rising to f/5.9 at 130mm. The camera sports dual Image Stabilisation that uses a combination of sensor shift and ISO raising to ensure images are kept free of blur. Speaking of sensitivity, this extends from a baseline ISO 100 up to a maximum ISO 3200. Tap the Program mode icon and what could loosely be termed a function toolbar appears on the left hand side of the screen, allowing the control of flash settings - which summons up a virtual but slightly fiddly 'roll bar' with red eye and slow sync featuring alongside fill in, auto, and automatic red eye fix. Focus mode can also be switched in the same manner - though between auto and macro, with no manual option provided here - as can the self timer options be accessed.
