The Samsung ES30 Digital Camera

I have become much more comfortable with the Canon Powershot A540 camera. The controls are natural and since Canon is a camera manufacturer for a long time, the camera is well designed. For instance, you only need to rotate a knob to select different shooting modes, from movie making, manual, TV, programmed, Automatic , Night scenes, etc. It has an auxiliary manual viewfinder atop the lens.

Not so with the Samasung ES 30. Everything must be done in the viewing screen, except for the shutter. This should appeal for first time camera users as they dont have to deal with the legacy camera baggage.

Yet by spending a little time each day with the ES30 you can maximize your satisfaction with this modern camera from Samsung.
