While it’s nowhere near as ugly as some older Samsung models, such as the Digimax V40 or V50 from 2004, the L700 lacks the visual impact of the NV range models. It is housed in a fairly plain metallic aluminium body with a brushed finish on the front,...

Metallic body and solid construction ; Quad-band GSM support plus GPRS and EDGE ; UMTS 2100Mhz with video calls ; 2.1" display with a resolution of 176 x 220 pixels ; 2 megapixel fixed focus camera with LED flash ; microSD card slot (up to 8GB) ;...

Relatively low display resolution ; Trimmed down user interface as compared to Samsung seniors ; Video recording tops out at QCIF resolution ; Poor web browser

Affordable pricing ; Reasonable image quality for snapshot shooting ; Minimal lens distortion and good sharpness ; Compact and relatively lightweight ; Sturdy body that has a quality feel ; Auto exposure bracketing nice to have ; Manners Mode is a nice...

Too much chromatic aberration, which extends too far into the center of images ; Lens flare can be a problem ; Autofocus isn't reliable enough, particularly in low light ; LCD can be difficult to see in direct sunlight ; No manual focus / exposure...

A dedicated button on the Samsung L700's rear provides access to several common visual effects such as "Sepia" or "Negative," as well as an unusual "Focus Frame" function which is rather curiously implemented; more on that later. In movie mode, this...
