CNET.co.uk“In fact, our biggest problem with ruined shots was fingers creeping in because of the positioning of the lens at the top left.”

“The Samsung i8 is a fairly good attempt to turn a digital camera into an all-in-one travel gadget. As a camera it performs well, with particularly good low light capability, and the built-in MP3 player works well.”

GoodGearGuide has reviewed the Samsung i8 and writes -
“We found the controls a little fiddly at times, with some buttons sticking and being generally difficult to press. We also felt a back button should have been present, as some of the menus can be tough to navigate without it.”

ITReviews has reviewed the Samsung i8 and writes -
“The Samsung i8 neatly packs an excellent quality camera and MP3 and video media player into a stylish body. Although the i8 is comprised of plastic it feels solid and elegant. As well as excellent picture quality, the multimedia features on the Samsung i8 are reliable, easy to operate and offer good sound and video results. This would be an excellent gift for a teenager, or a backpacker endeavouring to keep their luggage streamlined.”

Actual Owner Feedback
“I bought this camera elsewhere for $99.99 and have been VERY happy with its performance with regards to its camera function. It takes good pictures in both low light and during the day. It has a very convenient size and easily fits in your pocket.”

“This great little camera takes pretty good shots, though there is just a little bit more artifacting going on when I take pictures of text than my old KonicaMinolta Dimage X1. “

6 January 2008 - Samsung Cameras is pleased to announce the release of the 8.1 mega pixel i8. The i8 is equipped with a 2.7” touch screen LCD and PMP (Personal Multimedia Player) with integrated MP3 player.

Further information can be downloaded directly from the internet, and with 195 MB of internal memory you won’t need to worry about space for favourite travel tips.
The camera is equipped with the Samsung Digital Image Stabilization system and ISO 1600 high sensitivity support so images remain crisp and detailed even without a flash.
The i8 also features Samsung’s Intelligent Face Recognition Technology which detects the subject’s face, automatically adjusts auto focus and auto exposure to ensure better composition and image quality for portraits.
