 Samsung i8 Reviews

www.infosyncworld.com has written these comments on the samsung i8 : "Another PMP-enabled Samsung camera, the i8 is a rounded, compact point-and-shoot offered in multiple colors. We loved the design of the back panel, as the black background surrounding the panel made colors on the 2.7-inch LCD jump out of the screen. The internal zoom lens makes for a slim design, but image quality tends to suffer. Aesthetically this is one of our favorite Samsung cameras, but its features don't excite us nearly as much. Release: April 2008. Price: $250.

Cons: PMP functionality is awkward"

 www.buy n shoot.com writes "Overall, I would suggest the i8 is aimed at technically savvy amateur photographers who are happy to have their camera combined with MP3 and PMP devices to create a single unit with multiple impressive functions. Its size and weight allow for great portability and if you’re an avid happy-snapper, the i8 will suit your needs undoubtedly."
