Hands-On Preview: "An update to the V700 that was released in 2005, the Samsung Digimax V800 adds a number of new features, including faster performance, an 8.1 megapixel image sensor, 2.5-inch LCD screen (up from the 2-inch on the V700) and electronic image stabilization for both still images and movies, which are recorded in MPEG-4 format. It's priced at $399 and is available now.
The V800 packs a lot of features into its small case: it provides a high level of manual control, plus image stabilization that works effectively in still and movie mode, the latter of which is very usable mode for capturing video. It shoots high resolution images and would be a good choice for the shooter who wants the simplicity of a point-and-shoot in a small package, but with the ability to dip into manual control occasionally.
