DC Resource has taken a look at Samsung's five megapixel Digimax i5 digital camera. It features 3x optical zoom, a large 2.5-inch display and a VGA movie recording mode. Here's a short snip:

"I applaud Samsung for going above and beyond the call of duty in the bundled memory department. Like many manufacturers, Samsung choose to build memory right into the i5 instead of supplying a memory card. On most cameras in this class, that means anywhere from 8.3 to 16 Megabytes of internal memory. Not Samsung -- they put a whopping 50MB of internal memory on the i5, something that separates it from everything else in this class. If you want to add more memory, you can buy a Secure Digital or MultiMedia card and put it into the slot on the bottom of the camera. I'd suggest a 256MB SD card as a good starting point. A high speed SD card does make a difference, especially when shooting in continuous mode."

The reviewer writes this ultra-compact camera has a very good image quality but he also gave a list of some things he didn't like, like shutter lag and noise.
