About the Samsung SL720 (PL70)
The Samsung SL720 (PL70) stands out for a lens that opens to F2.8 at the wide end. Released in July 2009, it has a 28-102 mm lens, a 3.6x optical zoom with an aperture of F2.8-5.7, in front of a 1/2.33-inch CCD with about 12 megapixels. The telephoto reach is modest, but the bright 28 mm wide end suits indoor and wide-angle snapshots.
The body measures 92 x 61 x 23 mm and weighs 168 g, so it has some heft in the hand. It has a 2.7-inch LCD, records to SD or SDHC cards, and uses the dedicated SLB-10A lithium-ion battery. The PL70 designation appears alongside SL720 in the model name, and the CCD sensor reflects the typical design of its generation.
Buying one used
The SL720 uses the SLB-10A battery, so verify it still holds a charge and a charger is included. It records to SD or SDHC cards. Check that the 28-102 mm lens moves cleanly and the 2.7-inch LCD shows no faults.
