What we like about Samsung ES95

  • Sleek and compact design that is highly portable
  • Affordable, budget-friendly price point for casual users
  • Provides a nostalgic 'vintage' or 'Y2K' film aesthetic in photos
  • Simple and straightforward operation, ideal for beginners
  • Features a bright 2.7-inch LCD screen suitable for outdoor viewing
  • Convenient charging via micro USB, similar to a smartphone
  • Includes helpful automatic modes like 'Smart Auto' and 'Live Panorama'

What we don't like about Samsung ES95

  • Poor performance in low-light conditions with noticeable image blur
  • Digital zoom quality is often described as poor or 'pathetic'
  • Video recording is limited to 720p, which is outdated by modern standards
  • Lack of manual controls for more advanced photography
  • Slow processing and autofocus in challenging environments
  • Fragile build quality, particularly susceptible to dust and sand interference

Verdict

The Samsung ES95 is a compact point-and-shoot camera featuring a 16.1-megapixel CCD sensor, a 5x optical zoom lens (25-125mm equivalent), and a bright f/2.5 aperture for better low-light performance. It supports 720p HD video recording at 30fps and includes a 2.7-inch TFT LCD for framing shots. Key pros include its slim, lightweight design (approx. 90g), Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS) to reduce blur, and user-friendly creative modes like Live Panorama and the Perfect Portrait System. However, its main cons include the lack of Full HD 1080p video recording, limited manual controls for advanced users, and a relatively small, lower-resolution screen compared to modern standards.
