A 5x zoom mid-range compact for less than 110, the Samsung PL55 boasts a decent spec and stylish design. The WDC Samsung PL55 review finds out how it performs One of Samsung's newest models is the Samsung PL55. South Korean industrial giant Samsung is the world's largest conglomerate corporation, with subsidiaries making everything from satellites to supertankers. This means that its consumer electronics products, including digital cameras like this Samsung PL55, are made entirely from components sourced from within the company, and therefore cost Samsung far less to make than equivalent products made by other companies, who have to source components such as LCD screens, li-ion batteries and lenses from third-party suppliers.The Samsung PL55 is a mid-range point-and-shoot compact camera featuring a 5x optical zoom lens (equivalent to approximately 35-175mm), a 12.2-megapixel CCD sensor and a 2.7-inch LCD monitor. It has a solidly made all-metal body and is available in black, silver or the Fuchsia pink seen above.
