The Samsung Digimax L55W, a compact camera with 5 megapixels resolution, a wide-angle 4.8x optical zoom lens and a large 2.8″ display, has been reviewed by DigicamReview.

The review verdict:
“The Samsung Digimax L55W on paper is an impressive camera, with a wide-angle 4.8x optical zoom lens, a wide-aspect ratio photo mode and an impressive wide-aspect ratio 2.8″ screen the camera is very appealling. However, image quality was generally slightly disappointing, especially when it came to the high levels of purple fringing when photos contained trees or other high contrast areas. The camera is now facing some extremely strong competition from the likes of Ricoh, Panasonic and to a lesser extent Casio. […] If you can find the Samsung Digimax L55W for a bargain price, then it is worth considering, however high image quality is to be found elsewhere.”
