The Samsung MV800 is a compact model with a flip-out screen and more features than one can count.
SAMSUNG probably had me in mind when it was developing the MV800 digital camera.
Why? Well despite being a horrific photographer with shaky hands, it hasn't stopped me from exposing the world to awful photos via Facebook and Twitter.
The MV800 with its 180° flip-out 3in screen is the spiritual successor to the Samsung 2View, which launched in 2009 with a 1.5in screen in the front.
I credit that particular model with unleashing my inner "camwhore" and sparing friends from self-portraits with half a head (or none at all). For the uninitiated, camwhores are people who love to take pictures of themselves for posting on social media sites.
In a market climate where smartphone cameras are ruling the scene and giving the compact point-and-shoot category a run for its money, how does the MV800 hold up? Read on to find out.
