I want to give two thumbs up for IT100 in its image quality, convenience, and functions

Like cell phones, it seems that soon there will be a camera per person. (Most of users from teens to those in their thirties own their own digital cameras. Unlike the past, older people over forties also start to use digital cameras since it is not that difficult to operate them now. Actually, I bought a camera for my mother, who is 60, and she enjoys using it.) In this trend, camera makers have released various products to meet many people’s tastes, so it becomes harder to choose one out of so many choices.
You must be curious about its functions. Now let’s take a look at the basic functions and image quality of photos and videos in this review.
@ This is made for test, so it may differ from the actual product on sale.
You are looking at FULL KIT and you can find there’re lots of accessories provided. There’re quick manual, S/W CD (Samsung Master, Quick Time Player 7.5, Adobe Reader, and manual included), hand strap, battery, power adapter, USB cable, and AV cable. @ As a camera with 720P HD video recording function, it supports HDMI output. But, in order to use HDMI output, you need to purchase a cradle separately.
Its size is 94.5 x 58.9 x 22.5mm, and weight 155g, which is a bit weighty. (Of course it fits into one hand, so its portability is great. Unlike other cheaper products, it has good grip and the appropriate weight helps stable shooting.) @ Personally, I don’t like cameras that are too light. It is not hard to realize that IT100 is high-quality product when you feel the texture and weight with your hands.
Its design is quite different from ST50 or ST10 that I reviewed right before. It looks quite masculine. (Of course it still looks refined. It is made of stainless steel and hairline processed, making it look strong and solid. And metal finish anodizing looks luxurious.) @ Personally, it is the best design within all the models from Samsung Digital Imaging that I reviewed.

You can look at the protruding type lens that supports 5x optical zoom on the front side. (It supports 28mm wide, and you can do wide shooting more comfortably than with regular cameras of 35mm or higher. It supports 28-140mm angle in 35mm film equivalent, so it can cover all wide angle, standard, and zoom. Also, it supports Dual IS, so you can get high-quality pictures under any situation.)
On the upper left side, there’s a built-in flash. (It supports auto, red eye reducer, compulsory flash, slow syncro, no flash, and red eye removal.) On the upper right side, there’s a reception for the remote control which is on sale; also AF assist light and self-timer lamp are there.

It is noticeable that there’s a dual mike on the upper side. (Unlike other cameras’ mono sound, it records stereo sound through two mikes.) There’s a speaker on the center, and power button and shutter button on the right side. (Thanks to LED on the power button, it is easy to notice the operating situation.) @ Its initial operating time is very fast. You can take a shot within two seconds after pressing power button.
