What owners like
Samsung SL720 (PL70) works best when you want simple snapshots, direct flash, and the relaxed character people look for in older digital compacts rather than a technically perfect modern camera; its compact CCD / CMOS sensor and built-in compact zoom lens are the main character of the look.
