Samsung A55W Review
The Samsung Digimax A55W review has been put up at Digital Camera Resource Page and is yet another entry level compact digicam. One of the cheapest dig cams in the market the A55W has a notable 8 mm, 4.8X wide-angle lens. One good thing about this camera is that it can run AA batteries and has a built-in lens cover. Made entirely of plastic it lacks a viewfinder and the LCD appears a little dull however the metal tripod mount is a pleasant surprise.
The A55W features a 5 Mega pixel CCD, 2.5″ LCD display, and MPEG-4 movie mode and has a 25MB built in memory. Extremely user friendly it has a built in flash with a working range of 0.6 m – 3.0 m at wide-angle and 0.6 – 2.0 m at telephoto. One can also cord video at 640 x 480 (30 frames/second) with sound until the memory card is full making this a good and unexpected feature.
Finally DigitalCameraInfo.com concludes in their review :
At this time, the Samsung Digimax A55W is the cheapest wide-angle camera you can buy. Unfortunately, the camera isn’t the best performer, so I’d recommend passing on it and spending the extra money for something a little more capable. There is a “higher end” Samsung model available (the L55W), but I did not get a chance to test it. Aside from that, the next step up is probably the Canon PowerShot S80 or the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX1.
