“In terms of overall image quality the low ISO shots are very good, white balance control is good but the auto mode can result in an off yellow cast in mixed lighting and providing you keep the optical image stabilization on and don’t push the sensitivity to more than ISO 800, you’ll not be disappointed.”

“I was really impressed with the build quality of the L310W. The screen is of good quality and has an above average resolution but washes out in bright outdoor light. The controls are well-set – all in their proper place, with good-quality materials for the buttons.”

“I just wonder if too many compromises had to be made and from time to time picture quality suffers. My biggest question is has Samsung packed too many pixels onto the sensor? There are worse digital cameras than the Samsung L310W, but I wouldn’t be in a hurry to buy this camera.”

“We found that after turning on the L310W, the built-in flash needed several seconds to charge up, and the camera was a little sluggish in operation generally. Overall, Samsung’s L310W is a point-and-shoot camera that does it all for you, occasionally with very good results.”

“Although its build-quality, overall performance and especially its low-light focusing are impressive, and the optional manual exposure is a welcome bonus, it’s hard to recommend the L310W as a useful camera based on its unimpressive image quality.”
