Samsung L700

2007-12-26T01:41:00.001-08:00

Its impressive combination of stylish design and technical innovation, especially considering the boring and ungainly cameras the Samsung brand had previously been associated. The lovely NV range makes up only a small part of Samsung’s enormous product range, which now includes fewer than 36 different camera models.

While it’s better than older Samsung models such as the Digimax V40, the L700 lacks visual impact of the NV range models. It is has plain metallic aluminum body with brushed finish on the front, although it is available in black. The shape is rectangle, with the right-hand end rounded off. It is quite slim, and at 130g it is light enough to carry in a shirt pocket. The 3x zoom lens retracts fully into the camera body, and there are no protruding controls to snag on pocket linings. The fit and finish of the body and controls are great and while the camera feels light it doesn’t feel flimsy.

Nokia 5300

2007-12-26T01:17:00.000-08:00

Carrying the XpressMusic name, the Nokia 5300 looks great, especially with the clever multimedia keys, but ultimately it's a pretty standard handset. There's a QVGA 240x320 pixel TFT display, a 1.3 megapixel camera, microSD memory expandable to 2Gb, Bluetooth, a stereo FM radio and an MP3 player in a package weighing 104 g.

Unlike most previous 5000 series devices, the 5300 doesn't appear ruggedised in any way. This marks a bit of shift with the 5000 series towards "lifestyle" devices rather than rugged ones.
