Fills a variety of roles, stylish design, natural colour balance

What's Not

Media player has issues, travel guide is very basic, slow operation, some minor image quality issues

The Final Word

Samsung's i85 tries to do a few too many things at once and falls into the 'jack of all trades, master of none' trap. While it is an adequate still camera, if you're looking for solid travel or media functionality you best look elsewhere.
