The editors liked

  • 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

  • Abstract:  This is the delightfully slim and sexy MV800 camera, MV standing for Multi View, in reference to the exceptionally mobile screen for such a tiny machine. The MV800 is pretty much credit-card sized, and only 18.3mm thick. You will be surprised how tiny it ...

  • Low price, Folding monitor, Fun features
  • Touchscreen, Image noise, Poor battery life
  • The MV800 is unquestionably a fun camera to use, and at the price it would make a good gift for a teen. The clever fold-up monitor and the range of amusing filters and effects are ideal for those who would otherwise take pictures with their mobile phones...

  • Almost every day we see news of the next, great smartphone and more often than not one of the main selling points used by manufacturers is the camera functionality with recent models offering 12 and 18 megapixel parts. Everyone should know though that meg...

  • Large, tilting back screen provides the ability to achieve otherwise tricky low or high angle shots and self portraits
  • MicroSD card format is small and fiddly; average default image quality
  • Retailing for £199.99 the MV800 has the necessary hi-tech finish and performance to suggest itself as good value for those photographers looking for a funky extra, so their point-and-shoot compact stands out from the crowd

  • The Samsung MV800 is a stylish, attractive compact with a sleek touchscreen interface and an original flip-out screen. However, in spite of its physical charm, the MV800 isn't a camera we'd recommend—picture quality isn't up to scratch, it's too slow a...
