While the Samsung SH100 might look like a run-of-the-mill, low-priced touchscreen camera, but it ups the ante with its built-in wireless features, which include (but aren't limited to) direct uploads from the camera to Facebook, YouTube, and other sharing services. Still, this is a camera for casual snapshooters.

Review : Samsung SH100 Digital Camera

While most other small <b>digital</b> <b>camera</b> manufacturers use SD cards for image storage, <b>Samsung</b> have always used the micro SD, a little fiddly to get in and out and of course the other problem is they are always more expensive.
