Editorial note

The Samsung PL101 stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to a 12.4 MP sensor that allows for capturing precise details with a maximum resolution of 4000 x 3000 pixels. Its 5x optical zoom and built-in image stabilizer make it easy to take sharp photos, even in motion, providing a pleasant user experience for photography enthusiasts. Additionally, its compact and lightweight design of 111 g makes the device easily portable, ideal for travel. However, some drawbacks are worth noting. The maximum video resolution of 640 x 480 pixels is relatively low compared to current standards, which may disappoint those looking to record high-quality videos. The internal memory of only 5 MB is insufficient, requiring the purchase of an external memory card for adequate storage. Furthermore, the lack of compatibility with Mac systems may restrict access for some users, and the 4-second flash recharge time could be too long to capture spontaneous moments. Overall, the Samsung PL101 offers good performance with a score of 70 in terms of performance and a well-regarded design, rated at 85. The device's features, while solid, could benefit from improvements, as indicated by the score of 80. In terms of value for money, it is considered fair with a score of 72, but the user must take into account the additional costs for external memory.
