What's Hot

Sharp images, good noise performance, media functionality may be useful to some

What's Not

Poor audio quality, sluggish performance at times, colour balance a little off, attracts fingerprints very easily

The Final Word

While Samsung's i8 is a fairly decent digital camera, its media functionality could use a little improvement (particularly in terms of audio quality).
