Cool effects make every photo unique

So get creative and get Samsung.
When it comes to brightness, it’s brilliant
When we engineered the Samsung PL20 to be bright, we meant it in both senses of the word. It’s intelligent and luminous, both. It has a 2.7” LCD for improved contrast and color reproduction, which allows you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. And its Intelligent LCD brightness automatically detects environmental illumination and adjusts the LCD brightness for optimal image viewing. It does the thinking for you, which makes the PL20 a smart choice.
