Review

If you're looking to separate your camera from your phone at a low price, you're just the type of customer Samsung had in mind when they released the SH100. For the price the SH100 is a great compact point-and-shoot which gives you decent picture quality and more functionality than a smartphone. The picture quality is extremely good for its class; video is another question entirely.

Perhaps its nicest feature is its ability to connect wirelessly with a Samsung Galaxy smartphone. This allows the camera to be operated remotely by using the phone's display as a viewfinder. It's a handy little feature that allows you to take self-portraits and family shots without having to use an annoying timer. Wireless connectivity also lets you to transfer photos and videos to remote devices. That said, transferring videos is fairly slow and limited in file size.

After putting the SH100 through its paces we were satisfied that it's a great economy camera for someone who doesn't already have a smartphone. It's also a good option for fans of point-and-shoot cameras who don't want the hassle of having to manually set up shots. The SH100 is not worth the investment if you're satisfied with the picture quality and features of your smartphone camera.

Advantages: extremely affordable price; compact size; built-in wireless capabilities; comparatively good picture quality.

Disadvantages: poor performance in low light conditions; slow boot time and recycle rates; slow wireless transfers.
