Our opinion of the Pink ES55

Small enough to fit in your pocket, cheap enough not to break the bank and astounding results to boot. We could leave our pink ES55 review at that and have said nearly everything there is to say. We won’t though, we’ll go on to mention the almost endless features that Samsung have packed into the ES55, such as the multi-face detection system (that can detect up to 11 faces in the shot) to ensure the optimum settings and focus are automatically selected. It even warns you if someone in the photo has blinked just at the wrong moment so that you can take another shot.

The li-on battery is, in our view, a much better option that AA batteries – after charging the battery seems to last for hundreds of shots before it needs topping up. The downside is only if you should go on holiday and forget to take the charger with you it is not as easy as popping to the nearest shop to buy batteries. As long as you don’t forget, you’ll never have a problem (Tip – keep your charger in the same drawer as you passport and you’re safe!)

Finally, we found our pink Samsung ES55 very simple to use and would be more than happy to take it with us for everyday use.
