Samsung Digimax A55WDCResource have published the first online review of the Samsung Digimax A55W, a 5 megapixel digital camera with a a 4.8X optical zoom and 2.5 inch LCD screen.

“While I like the idea of a low cost camera with a wide-angle lens, the Samsung Digimax A55W has too many annoyances to earn my recommendation. The A55W is as midsize plastic camera with a 4.8X zoom that goes from 28 to 135 mm. Despite being plastic, I found the A55W’s build quality to be good. The camera has a large 2.5” LCD display, though it didn’t seem as sharp as it’s pixel count (200k) would imply. Low light visibility was poor. The Digimax is a 100% point-and-shoot camera, with the only manual control being for white balance. You’ll get a nice selection of scene modes and colorful menus, though the latter could be better organized.”
