Last week ago I was hunting in some online store to find a new digital camera for myself. I’m looking for digital camera under $100 (just used to write review only, not pro). After research I’m interesting with Samsung ES10 black, It’s looks like an elegant digital camera so I try to buy It.

After 2 days waiting this package coming to my home. I start to open the box to know what inside this package. I got manual book, Samsung ES10 cd driver, warranty card, data cable, 2x AA battery, and of course Samsung ES10 digital camera. Where is my MMC bonus?

When first time I touch this digital camera on my hand an “elegant” idea coming to my mind. Yup, it’s good looking camera with black color, I love it! (don’t know why I love black color gadget haha)

Samsung ES10 is standard digital camera. Since I’m not professional I think this device enough for me to take some pictures around me *lol*. Let’s started to know what inside this digital camera.

On the bottom camera you will find an place to put 2x AA battery and MMC-Card. Battery life is suck, when I tested it 2x new AA Alkaline battery I just can take 500 shoot then camera die. Trust me, go buy an rechargeable NIMH battery this is really recommended.

On the front camera you will find lens and flash. Samsung ES10 using 8.1 megapixel lens. On the top camera you will find power button and shoot button to take pictures or start to capture video. On the left camera there is an mini-USB slot and place to used tail accessories. Nothing really special in here so let’s moving to the next.

On the back camera there is LCD and navigation button. Samsung Es10 claim they used intelligent LCD, I’m still not get what’s that mean since it’s look similar with another digital camera LCD *lol*. Navigation button is zoom-in and zoom out, menu button, left-right-up-down and go button, Flash, auto-focus, panorama effect, And the last button is gallery and FN button (used to deleted or cancel action).

On the menu you can choose to set what mode this digital camera should be, It can be used to take pictures or recording movie with sound. On function menu there is face detection technology which will focus on smile when detected. Set photo size (megapixel), Photo quality such as fine and super fine quality, Focus area and voice.

On Sound menu you can set volume for each action such as shutter etc. Display menu just like setting for your Samsung ES10 digital camera it contains configuration for appearance and power save function. On Setting menu just same like display menu.

That’s it my short review for Samsung ES10 digital camera, I would give score 6.8 from 10 for this Samsung ES10. It is worth to but this digital camera? Hmm, I think it’s worth… since price is under $100 and you got almost all standard digital camera needed this day. So… buy it! haha..
