Samsung r451c Review - How good is the camera?



Have you used Samsung r451c? And did you have the chance to take a picture using its camera? I own this device and I used its camera to take some sample pictures. My biggest disappointment was that, unfortunately, when you use it you will need a lot of lightning to create a great picture. This is true of most camera phones, however, and beyond that issue I found somethings to like about the r451.

The camera’s megapixel is 1.3 (1280×960), as well as lower resolutions if you want. The camera lacks a flash which a good camera should have. So lacking this option would limit our capacity to take pictures in low lightning areas. The result, the picture would look a bit muddy if taken with inadequate light. On the contrary the camera has the following features:

Timer – This lets you take picture in a given period of time (2, 5, or 10 second delay)

Multi shot mode – This lets you take a bunch of pictures in just a couple of seconds

You can also have the option to take pictures in these following modes:

  1. white balance (including settings of automatic)
  2. sunny
  3. cloudy
  4. tungsten
  5. fluorescent

Special effects – If you want to experiment with your pictures, you can try these special effects which you can actually apply before snapping a photo:

  1. black and white
  2. negative
  3. sepia
  4. green

However, you can’t edit the photo after you've taken it.

One thing that’s a little dissapointing about the camera is it doesn’t let you record videos. The good thing is, the transfer of the pictures is an easy task and has a lots of options:

  • Email them to your yourself
  • Transferring via Bluetooth
  • Storing it in a memory card
  • Copy to USB

In summary, the camera would not be advisable to person who is intent on capturing memories in the form of high-quality images. The Samsung r451c camera comes in handy when there is an emergency to capture a moment unexpectedly. Learn more about this model by reading Samsung r451c reviews.
