The pink Samsung ES17 is only a few pounds more than the price of the entry-level ES15 with the main difference being that instead of 10 mega-pixels, it is 12 mega-pixels. In our view it is worth the extra even if you are buying this on a very tight budget.

Packed with features to ensure that it is both easy to use and produces great results. Perfect for beginners or for anyone who want to take cheap snapshots but doesn’t want to break the bank.

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.

Samsung last week announced that their new PL10 pink digital camera will be available from April with a price of £179.

The 9 megapixel Samsung PL10 (also known as the CL5 outside of europe) will feature a 2.7″ LCD digital viewfinder and will be available in silver, royal black, arty red, purple and of course pink.

If just taking pictures isn’t enough the PL10 also has a built-in multiplyer player allowing you to take your music and movies with you and access them at the touch of  button. This seems like an excellent use of technology that is already in most digital cameras – allowing the playback of recorded movies, so maybe this is in reality more of a marketing excercise – but is sure to be an effective one.
