Flip-screen is ideal for self/group portraits, Smartphone-like controls easy to master, Lots of easy-to-use creative tools and effects

No built-in social networking integration, Flip-screen doesn't swivel, Much better value at £150 than £200

expensive considering its basic shooting abilities and is otherwise an attractive and well built camera. As ever, full judgement will come when we get one in for a full review.

Flip-out LCD. Compact and light. Responsive touch screen. Numerous shooting modes.

Soft photos. Uses microSD memory. Poor low-light performance.

Performance and Conclusions Not a particularly speedy camera, the MV800 takes about 2.3 seconds to start up and grab a shot, requires you to wait a full 1.6 seconds between photos, and records a 0.4-second shutter lag. Its performance is on par with...

Flip-out screen ; Fun art filters ; Sleek

Poor quality screen ; Touchscreen sometimes unresponsive

The key feature of the Samsung MV800 is of course its tilting screen, which makes it one of the only compact cameras to feature an adjustable screen, especially at this price point. While other screens articulate round to the side of a camera, the...

Mostly metal body is both sleek and stylish ; Captures sharp 16-megapixel photos with pleasing color ; Nice wide 5x optical zoom lens with Dual IS ; Acceptable noise levels up to ISO 800 ; Modern "App style" user interface, very similar to a modern day...

Very weak flash ; Flash recharge time is up to 8 seconds ; While the flash is recharging, the camera is non-responsive ; AE issues in lower lighting conditions ; Rear shutter release can be hard to operate with one hand ; Uses microSD/SDHC cards, which...

Samsung continues to create some extremely fun to use cameras, and the MV800 is no exception. This stylish camera is loaded with fun to use settings, and the hinged LCD is sure to be a hit among the social crowds. We did find a few shortfalls with the...

Flip screen for self-portraits, responsive touchscreen, build quality

Poor display quality, so-so image quality, expensive, unconventional control array

Samsung’s MV800 is a quirky and well-built compact camera. Although the flip out screen may be a little gimmicky, as it’s not something that you’ll be using all the time, its screen resolution makes it a pleasure to use as a ‘normal’ compact too. The...

The Samsung MV800 is available in India at a MOP of Rs.14,000. This camera is a really interesting camera when it comes to its design and features. There are not many cameras in the market, which have an interface, such as this with its responsive...

Looks incredibly stylish ; Unique flip-up rear LCD screen ; Plenty of filters and in-camera options

Extreme lens distortion at wide end ; Very noisy and poor-quality images ; Body is very small and can slip out of the hand

The MV800 is a beautifully designed camera at an attractive price, but it is very difficult to recommend because it takes poor photos.

Samsung has made video and photography across a range of modes extremely easy. Lack of Wi-Fi and an awkward self-portrait shutter release notwithstanding, this is well-executed point and shoot.
