Samsung Pro815 Review at DPReview
DPReview have reviewed the new Samsung Pro815, an 8 megapixel digital camera with a massive 15x optical zoom lens and a 3.5” LCD screen.
“So then, what’s the final conclusion? For one thing Samsung must be applauded for the sheer audacity of the Pro815. For a ‘first attempt’ at a ‘prosumer’ camera it is nothing short of remarkable, and if it had been launched a 12-18 months ago it would have really upset the apple cart. But one can’t help feeling it’s a little too late, and that inside this monster there is a better, leaner camera dying to get out.”

A detailed AF test of the 815.
Why did they not provide the same tests for the Sony R-1? In their R-1 review they mention AF of the Sony R-1 in only one sentence.
Use the Objective tests.
Take with a grain of salt their subjective comments.

Before Christmas, I bought a Samsung Digimax pro815 camera. I really like the camera, except for one apparent problem! When I take pictures, like though a doorway, where the right and left side of the doorway should be parallel, my images end up with the top of the right and left sides skewed outward! Viewing your gallery, I noticed that some of your images are skewed in the opposite direction! Can you tell me where the problem might be, and can it be corrected???
Thank you!

Unhappy!

I don't know if you are addressing your question to me or someone at Photography Blog.
Here is my answer:
While using an old waist level finder on an old Mamiya TLR ( twin lens reflex for you newbies ) the one thing I was always sure of was the precise position of my film plane. I knew is I was parallel to my subject ( walls included), too far away on the left, right , top or bottom.
With a viewfinder pressed aginst your eye, you can not be quite so sure if your film plane, or CCD or CMOS is parallel to your subject as easily or accurately as using the od waist level finder.
The result of your images is likely due to your CCD not being in paralel to your subject.
In additiion, your zoom at the wide side may have alot of distortion as well.
No big problem if you use the Perspective Transfom function in PS Elements or CS.
Hope this helps a little.

On soution is to use a tripod, whih gives your hands freedom to concentrate on your image.
