Manufacturer's Description
The Samsung L83T is a high resolution digital camera that is equipped with a true-colour filtered 8.2 mega pixel CCD. This allows the Samsung L83T to produce even better images and take detailed photos for printing up to poster size.

With the Face Recognition AF & AE function, the Samsung L730 enables the user to take better portrait pictures more easily. The function detects up to 9 faces and automatically focuses on them so that the brightness of the faces are adjusted optimally for beautiful portrait pictures.

With Samsung's unique multi-charging system, travelling has become even easier. With a single charging USB cable kit, SAC-46Kit (SAC-46, SUC-C2), you can conveniently charge the camera on a power point, your laptop or desktop computer.

ASR technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and colour which is sometimes found in flash photography. With ASR the effects of image blur are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even take well exposed, sharper pictures in low light condition without using a flash at all, which guarantees brighter and more natural pictures.

No more running to join the group photo before the photo is taken on timer. The motion timer function only takes a photo when the subject is still. It assess motion so you can walk back to the group and it will take the photo when you are settled.

Customer Reviews

quick breakdown
initaily it worked ok then after a monththe screen broke down,also there is no proper manual and despite contacting samsung theyn have never bothered to, contact me

Reliable, but not so good for extreme conditions
IMAGE - On full auto mode the photographs are of a fairly good standard provided that conditions are not too extreme, however low light conditions and/or taking photographs of moving images will cause photographs to become blurred. This is mainly due to the slow automatically selected shutter speeds. I find that I can take excellent photos in all conditions provided that the correct mode/ settings are chosen. The higher ISO speeds tend to be very noisy and should be avoided. Video mode is surprisingly good although in low light conditions the colour reproduction is not accurate but this can be corrected by adjusting the white balance. The macro modes work superbly with high levels of detail.

BATTERY LIFE - This is excellent, I've taken around two hundred photos with and without flash on a full charge. I've also recorded ninety of continuous video at the highest resolution without the battery running out.

BUILD QUALITY - Simple design and aluminium construction. This camera is compact and very lightweight. I've dropped the camera a few times with no visible signs of damage. The screen is large, bright and has not picked up any scratches despite three months of use without a case. However it does tend to pick up grease and oil quite easily.

EASE OF USE - The full manual is included on the CD. The use of the camera is not entirely intuitive - whilst there are a great many modes, various manual settings are hidden away within specific modes. For example, the ability to control longer shutter speeds can only be found when shooting in night mode. However, for the majority of the time, the camera will be used in full auto mode which is easy to use, and reviewing photos is also simple. Combining the USB cable with an AC adaptor is a good idea and allows one cable to be carried with the camera rather than two. The lens is set into one corner of the camera and there have been occasions where I have taken a photo only to find that my finger has partially covered the lens. Software is included in the CD with the camera but is not required - images from the memory card can be uploaded to most computers running XP/ Vista without installing any drivers or additional software, connected with the supplied USB cable. The camera does lack a viewfinder but I have not found myself in any situation where I felt that a viewfinder would have been beneficial.

VALUE FOR MONEY - Fantastic value for money, I've taken many good photos with this camera and for this price I can't fault it.

register/manual

I have given this camera 4 stars although i have not taken a photograph.
The problems i have encountered is a lousy manual which shows and details top,front and back but not the bottom of the camera.The bottom of the camere is where the battery and usb cables are inserted and battery and SD card is installed but no instructions are given.
Also i found it impossible to register my camera on the Samsung website.

I only hope i do not have any problems with my camera as the above does not give me hope regarding their service department.
