Re: pl210: any experience?
Why? I have two compacts from Samsung and follow their path and I actually go and check out what they have at local stores from time to time.
The problem is they are making cams with massive gimmicks and half-arsed ways to compete with cell phone cams and stuffing megapixels like there's no tomorrow, so even ISO80 is a smeary mess. Cellphone cams are oddly more reasonable than picking up one of these cams that are picking off certain features of cellphones, but without the functionality of them, especially with apps.

I would discount any of snake_b's comments on compacts. He bites anyone who mentions compacts on this forum. The problem is this is a shared forum so you have people with the top end cameras mixing with the consumer cameras which does not really work. I think he does know his stuff but his opinions are somewhat polarised.

Samsung's compacts, to be honest, are junk cameras. They had a couple highlights, but couldn't figure out what to do with them, so back to the junk goes Samsung. Thus, you won't find too many here with the experience with them. It's not like going to the Canon forum for the compacts, where it's pretty hard to go wrong with a Canon compact, to be honest.
Odd you say that, since dpreview seemed to like the WB210 apart from the touch screen.
