The editors liked

  • Very good build quality
  • Original flipout screen
  • Compact design
  • Although lots of cameras feature viewfinders that can be tilted and swivelled
  • The Samsung Multiview MV800 goes one step further
  • With the entire back of the camera moving by 180 degrees. This means you'll be able to shoot photographs of yourself
  • Or hold the camera above your head
  • Or even down on the ground
  • With the ability to view what you're shooting at all times. The screen is a touchscreen
  • Flip-out screen
  • Fun art filters
  • Sleek
  • Large
  • Tilting back screen provides the ability to achieve otherwise tricky low or high angle shots and self portraits
  • The Samsung MV800 is a gorgeous
  • And incredibly compact camera
  • Small enough to fit into even the smallest of shirt pockets
  • Making it great to take on a night out. For such a dainty device
  • The MV800 is also very well built. It feels solid and durable. However
  • Its 3-inch screen on the back means you still shouldn't chance a drop. Speaking of which
  • The flip-put display designed to encourage bet

The editors didn't like

  • Poor sensitivity (800 ISO best avoided
  • 1600 ISO unusable)
  • Responsiveness in reallife situations
  • Touchscreen interface isn't always logical (e.g. choosing shooting mode)
  • Lowgrade mono sound
  • No video record button
  • Video image too contrasted
  • Unfortunately
  • Photo quality wasn't quite as good as we were expecting
  • With images lacking in sharpness. We also found blue fringing around the edges of some of our photographs
  • And there are better cameras out there for overall quality.
  • Poor quality screen
  • Touchscreen sometimes unresponsive
  • MicroSD card format is small and fiddly
  • Average default image quality
  • The flip-out display is a nice feature to have but the display isn’t as responsive as it could be
  • Made more noticeable on those occasions requiring you to swipe the menus. If only it were as sensitive as Samsung’s smartphones. Photo quality isn’t bad at all
  • But depending on the ISO setting used
  • The Samsung MV800 can lack some detail in darker conditions
  • But again
  • For the majority of users th
  • Poor display quality
  • So-so image quality
  • Expensive
  • Unconventional control array
  • Fixing stand to rear panel
  • One Connect cable length
  • Having to send it back
  • Touchscreen
  • Image noise
  • Poor battery life
  • No built-in social networking integration
  • Flip-screen doesn't swivel
  • Much better value at £150 than £200

  • Samsung has made video and photography across a range of modes extremely easy. Lack of Wi-Fi and an awkward self-portrait shutter release notwithstanding, this is well-executed point and shoot. ...

  • Clearly designed to be fun to use, the Samsung MV800 will appeal to those more used to a mobile phone. However, while the image quality is on a par with other similar cameras, the reliance on touchscreen controls will frustrate photographers more used to...

  • That said, the Samsung Multiview MV800 is a capable and fun choice, and if you spend more time taking photographs of yourself than other people – and want to make sure you're always in the right place – it could be worth a look. Samsung Multiview MV80...

  • Flip screen for self-portraits, responsive touchscreen, build quality
  • Poor display quality, so-so image quality, expensive, unconventional control array
  • Lovely build quality, a lush 288k-pixel touchscreen and quirky flip bracket for self-portraiture and other framing make the MV800 unique. But the poor image quality, less-than-Smartphone-standard touchscreen and fairly high asking price outweigh the po...

  • As with the SH100, image quality on the MV800 is generally pretty good. Of course, once you start examining images at 100% and the limitations of the small sensor do become apparent especially at higher sensitivity settings, but viewed at regular monitor...

  • As a tool for photography, the MV800 has almost no specs or features that stick out to us, the camera nerds that work for this website. Image quality is average at best—actually, it's pretty crummy in anything but bright lighting. Shot-to-shot times are s...
