Samsung SH100 point and shoot camera.
In an upstairs cupboard sits a pile of cameras. It's quite a big pile and amongst them is this Samsung SH100. I bought it around 14 years ago, my wife used it a bit and it's just been sitting unused for a decade, maybe more.
It was released when compact cameras were starting to get a run for their money from phones, so they added some wi-fi capability - upload straight to facebook etc, some video capabilty, but the reality was that they just couldn't compete with phones. They just became redundant. I thought I'd take it out and see if it still holds up today. It kind of does. The reviews at the time said if the lighting conditions are perfect, you'll get a good shot. That's true - and when the conditions work, it can take a good picture. Exposure is a bit hit and miss but overall it's still useable.
I love all sorts of cameras, it's fun, for me, to see what the older ones can do. It's very well built and stores data on a 2GB micro SD card. You'll only get a rough idea of what you're shooting as the screen is highly reflective. It's good fun and super light weight too.
