Samsung ES19 compact camera.
The camera has been around for some years now copies are likely to be secondhand. I was in urgent need of a compact camera and knew Samsung's reputation only from its iphones etc. I was delighted with the results, as well as the versatility of the camera. The B & W photos were particularly impressive for gradation - every bit as good in this respect, as my Canon 750. To be fair, the 24mpxls and high quality lens fitted to the DSLR came into their own on A3 prints, but the Samsung gave a good showing when printed to a smaller size, (and after all, how many of can afford or would want prints larger than A4?)
On the strength of this, I was considering a new sophisticated Samsung, introduced not so long ago, but a contact in the trade said the firm was pulling out of the camera market. A pity, because I think with its innovations, (if the ES19 is anything to go by) Samsung are/were a force to be reckoned with.
