Features
The main feature of this camera is undoubtedly the flip-out display. One can take full advantage of this feature to capture their fun times during group photos that are self shot without worrying about someone being cropped out. The same can be said about taking self shots and with this camera, one does not need to guess and click, but actually view what they are capturing while capturing the image.

Samsung uses a 16.1 megapixel CCD sensor for capturing images with this camera. One can use this to their advantage and print large format pictures, which they have shot. In the days when a majority of the cameras come with high zoom capabilities, the MV800 features a 5x zoom with a focal length of 4.7 - 23.5mm. One may tend to think that this camera's zoom capabilities are not that great given that it is just 5x, but, the fact that Samsung has fitted this and a lot more features, in such a small body is certainly a big deal. The 3-inch capacitive touchscreen is another neat feature found here and from the looks of it, it appears that this is going to be the trend found on compact cameras in the future. Very few brands launch cameras with a touchscreen interface and those that do, usually tend to add a resistive screen as opposed to capacitive. By adding a capacitive screen, one can use it in the same way they use their smartphones by merely swiping and tapping without adding too much pressure to do the same. One also has the ability to click pictures by tapping the screen giving the camera dual shooting abilities.

The interface of the camera is another interesting feature. There are widgets onscreen and everything is accessed using the touchscreen interface. The physical buttons assist in the functionality as one can access these options only after pressing the home button. To navigate through the interface, one has to just swipe left or right and select the option they wish to use. Samsung have made the camera extremely user friendly and one can play with this camera for long amounts of time by simply going through the different features and modes.

The initial screen shows the Smart Auto icon witnessed on power up, along with Program mode, Smart Movie, Movie, six option Scene mode (landscape, sunset, dawn, backlight, beach and snow and text), 3D Photo, Live Panorama - hold down the shutter button and sweep the camera across the scene - and Self Shot, which frames your face when rotating the screen to 180 degrees and then counts down from 3 before taking the shot

The second screen of settings continues the almost exhaustive array of options. The first icon is Picture in Picture, allowing you to insert one image within another, then Magic Frame, offering a plethora of rather wild 'n' wacky options for the kids. Next is My Magic Frame, followed by Funny Face, which as the name suggests allows you to bend, stretch and warp your favorite faces.

Photo Filter is where not only do we once again find a vignetting option, we also get an increasingly ubiquitous miniature mode, soft focus mode and two old film modes, one black and white the other sepia tinted, and both complete with authentic scratches and blemishes like a damaged negative or old movie reel. With a swipe of the finger we get further access to half tone, sketch, fisheye, defog, classic, retro, oil painting, ink painting, cartoon, cross filter and zooming shot digital filter effects. Again more than we expected from this point and shoot option.

Movie Filter is similar albeit reduced (to 11) selection of filters can be applied in movie mode, to include miniature, vignetting, fish eye, half tone and sketch options - which is still pretty cool. Vignetting offers a corner shading vignetting effect to both stills and video - with the ability to further adjust brightness, contrast and the degree/strength of the vignetting via three slider bars.

On the third screen we find the self explanatory Beauty mode, a long term feature of the Samsung range and allowing for a degree of retouching and skin tone alteration, Background Blur which digitally produces a bokeh effect, Night Shot, Close Up Shot and Dual IS options, the latter including true optical image stabilisation.

The fourth of five screens includes Intelligent Portrait, which takes three different pictures of the same scene at the same time from different angles, Auto Zoom Shot which automatically zooms in on a face, Timer Shot, Touch Shot which takes the image simply by touching the screen, and Pose Guide, which shows your subjects how to position themselves for the perfect shot.

The final screen houses Album, Theme Album with Travel, Wedding and Party themes, self-explanatory Slide Show, Photo Editor, in which the image can be cropped and rotated, smart filters can be applied and the brightness, contrast and saturation can be altered, Storyboard Maker, which lets you create storyboards with a choice of layouts and text, Wallpapers for personalising the MV800 with a standard background or your own image, Help and Settings. Delve into any one of these in search of features and, if you don't find what's required, a subsequent press of the 'Home' button acts as a way to return to the main screen.

In playback mode meanwhile, accessed with a press of the familiar playback button located on the backplate, the user is presented with a simple array of options at the left hand side of the screen, with the ability first and foremost to delete unwanted images, followed by the ability to view them as a slideshow with music, then to display the shots as a series of thumbnails. At any time a press of the Home button takes us back to those phone app like shooting options, which makes for straightforward and intuitive operation. Though, as we noted at the outset, the camera can merely be left on its default settings and used as a point and shoot compact pure and simple, without engaging with the touch-screen at all.
