Camera test: the compact Samsung PL70

With the PL 70, Samsung have given us a compact with a nice-looking spec: 3'' LCD screen, 5x zoom, wide angle, stabilization, HDTV 720p video...

What's more it has scene recognition to give you the right settings straight off. Easy to use and versatile, the Samsung PL 70 is a what we call a definite prospect. And of course we felt we had to test it. Here are our conclusions.
