9 Reasons For for Choosing the Samsung MV800
The Samsung MV800 has a megapixels of 16.15MP, however the Canon PowerShot A490 and the Olympus XZ1 are both only 10MP digital cameras (6.15MP lower), the Fujifilm X10 is only a 12MP digital camera (4.15MP lower) and the Nikon Coolpix L3 is only a 5.1MP digital camera (11.05MP lower). More ...
The resolution of the images a digital camera produces is measured in megapixels (MP). One megapixel is equal to 1 million pixels and is a result of the pixel width multiplied by the pixel height of the image. While a higher image resolution generally results in sharper images, only a relatively low megapixel count is required when printing the image at a small size or to display it on a computer screen.
A sensor with more megapixels will be able to capture more detailed photos and the image will appear sharper. Images with more megapixels can also be printed at a larger size.
The Samsung MV800 supports a still image resolution of 4608 x 3456, which is twice as high still image resolution as the Canon PowerShot A490 and the Olympus XZ1 (3648 x 2736) and 20 times higher still image resolution as the Nikon Coolpix L3 (1024 x 768). More ...
Image resolution refers to the amount of pixels that make up an photo taken on a digital camera. It is measured as the width x the height of the image - so a 1280 x 720 resolution camera can take a photo that is 1280 pixels wide and 720 pixels tall.
Higher image resolutions mean that the photos are comprised of more pixels, which translate to more detailed and higher quality photos. Also, because they are larger photos, they can be displayed on larger screens or printed out at vastly increased sizes without losing detail.
The Samsung MV800 has a maximum image resolution of 4608 x 3456 pixels pixels, which is twice as high image resolution as the Canon PowerShot A490 and the Olympus XZ1 (3648 x 2736 pixels) and 3 times higher image resolution as the Nikon Coolpix L3 (2592 x 1944 pixels). More ...
Image resolution refers to the amount of pixels that make up an photo taken on a digital camera. It is measured as the width x the height of the image - so a 1280 x 720 resolution camera can take a photo that is 1280 pixels wide and 720 pixels tall.
Higher image resolutions mean that the photos are comprised of more pixels, which translate to more detailed and higher quality photos. Also, because they are larger photos, they can be displayed on larger screens or printed out at vastly increased sizes without losing detail.
The Samsung MV800 has a digital zoom of 5x, but the Canon PowerShot A490, the Nikon Coolpix L3 and the Olympus XZ1 are all only 4x digital zoom digital cameras (1x smaller) and the Fujifilm X10 is only a 2x digital zoom digital camera (3x smaller). More ...
The digital zoom of a camera is a measure of how much the camera can zoom in by cropping the image received by the camera's sensor. A digital zoom is not as good as an optical zoom as it will result in a reduction in image quality the further you zoom in. This is because fewer of the camera's pixels are being used to capture the image.
A digital zoom allows you to enlarge the subject but this can result in the image becoming blurry. A digital zoom can be used if an optical zoom is not available.
The Samsung MV800 has a display diagonal of 3" (as does the Olympus XZ1), however the Canon PowerShot A490, the Fujifilm X10 and the Nikon Coolpix L3 are all only 2" screen digital cameras (1" smaller). More ...
The display diagonal is the size the size of the screen integrated in to the back of the camera. A larger display diagonal makes it easier to see if a shot has turned out as intended. Pocket cameras have smaller display diagonals as full size digital SLRs.
A larger display diagonal makes it easier to take photos and to see if a shot has turned out as intended.
The Samsung MV800 has a touchscreen, but the Canon PowerShot A490, the Fujifilm X10, the Nikon Coolpix L3 and the Olympus XZ1 do not have this feature. More ...
On a camera, this means that the digital display on the back of the camera is touch-sensitive, rather than relying on buttons.
Touchscreens are easier and more intuitive to control.
The Samsung MV800 has an HDMI, and so do the Fujifilm X10 and the Olympus XZ1, whereas the Canon PowerShot A490 and the Nikon Coolpix L3 do not. More ...
A HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) port is an interface to transfer audio and video data between devices such as digital cameras, computer monitors, TVs and projectors.
A HDMI port on the camera allows you to connect the camera directly to a compatible TV for easy playback of your photos.
The Samsung MV800 is 3D, however the Canon PowerShot A490, the Fujifilm X10, the Nikon Coolpix L3 and the Olympus XZ1 are not. More ...
3D compatible cameras can take 3D photos with varying degrees of success. Cameras with 2 lenses will generally be able to capture the best 3D pictures.
3D pictures allow you to capture the feel of a place better than a 2D picture could. However you will need a 3D compatible screen to appreciate the results.
The Samsung MV800 was released five years ago, but the Canon PowerShot A490 was released 10 years ago, the Fujifilm X10 was released nine years ago, the Nikon Coolpix L3 was released 11 years ago and the Olympus XZ1 was released 10 years ago
13 Reasons Against for Choosing the Samsung MV800
The Samsung MV800 is a 121g digital camera. That's 54g lighter than the Canon PowerShot A490 (175g), 209g lighter than the Fujifilm X10 (330g), 1g heavier than the Nikon Coolpix L3 (120g) and 154g lighter than the Olympus XZ1 (275g). More ...
The camera's weight will depend on the type and size of camera. Compact cameras are usually the lightest while digital SLRs will be heavier. Also consider the number and weight of lenses to take when using a SLR.
The lower the camera weight, the easier it will be to carry around and it will also reduce your hand luggage weight when flying.
Samsung MV800 is only 3 maximum ISO speed, but the Fujifilm X10 is a 12,800 maximum ISO speed digital camera (9,600 higher) and the Olympus XZ1 is a 6,400 maximum ISO speed digital camera (3,200 higher). More ...
ISO sensitivity denotes the sensitivity of your camera to available light. Modifying the sensitivity causes the camera to gather more or less light when forming an image. Higher sensitivity gathers more light, which means can lead to a sharper image in low-light conditions. However it may also lead to increased 'noise', meaning the ISO level must be carefully modified to get the best shot.
A higher maximum ISO sensitivity will allow you to take photos in lower light levels without using flash.
The Samsung MV800 has a maximum video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels pixels, and so is the Olympus XZ1, which is half as high video resolution as the Fujifilm X10 (1920 x 1080 (Full HD) pixels). More ...
'Maximum video resolution' measures the largest possible video that the digital camera is able to record.
A larger video resolution means the camera can shoot videos that will be sharper, more detailed and have more clarity.
The best video resolution supported by the Samsung MV800 is 1280 x 720 pixels pixels which is also supported by the Olympus XZ1. Whereas the best video resolution supported by the Fujifilm X10 is 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) pixels (twice as high video resolution). We do not know what types of video resolution the Canon PowerShot A490 and the Nikon Coolpix L3 support. More ...
The Samsung MV800 also supports 640 x 480 pixels and 320 x 240 pixels video resolutions.
The video resolution is the size of the image that the camera can record in video mode. It is measured in pixels where the first value is the number of horizontal pixels and the second value is the number of vertical pixels.
A higher video resolution will be noticeable when playing back videos on HD televisions. The video will appear sharper and more life like. Recording video at a higher resolution will fill your memory card more quickly though.
The Samsung MV800 has an internal memory of 10MB, however the Fujifilm X10 is a 26MB internal memory digital camera (16MB bigger), the Nikon Coolpix L3 is a 23MB internal memory digital camera (13MB bigger) and the Olympus XZ1 is a 54.6MB internal memory digital camera (44.6MB bigger). More ...
Internal memory is the amount of digital storage built into the camera.
The bigger the internal memory of the camera, the more photos can be stored at one time, without having to resort to an external SD card.
The Samsung MV800 is a 32GB maximum memory card size digital camera. That's 32GB smaller than the Olympus XZ1 (64GB). More ...
The maximum size of memory card that can be used in this digital camera. Different cameras are designed to take larger capacity cards, so a card that works in one camera may not necessarily work in another.
A digital camera with a larger memory card size means that you can potentially store more photos on the device at once.
The Samsung MV800 has a display resolution of 288 pixels, whereas the Canon PowerShot A490 is a 115,000 Pixels display resolution digital camera (173,000 pixels lower), the Fujifilm X10 is a 460,000 Pixels display resolution digital camera (172,000 pixels higher), the Nikon Coolpix L3 is an 86,000 Pixels display resolution digital camera (202,000 pixels lower) and the Olympus XZ1 is a 610,000 Pixels display resolution digital camera (322,000 pixels higher). More ...
The display resolution on a display camera denotes how high detail the display is.
High resolutions on the display of your camera means that the photos you take will be shown in higher detail, allowing you to see them more clearly.
The Samsung MV800 does not have a GPS, but the Canon PowerShot A490, the Fujifilm X10, the Nikon Coolpix L3 and the Olympus XZ1 do. More ...
GPS allows the camera to know where it is in the world and to automatically tag each of your photos with the location it was taken at.
If your photos have been tagged with a GPS location you can see where they were taken, automatically let your favourite photo software or website retrieve the address for that location or display them on a map.
The Samsung MV800 does not support Wi-Fi, whereas the Canon PowerShot A490, the Fujifilm X10, the Nikon Coolpix L3 and the Olympus XZ1 support this feature. More ...
WiFi connectivity allows you upload photos to your computer and the internet without connecting the camera to the computer with a cable.
WiFi connectivity makes it easier to upload your photos as you will not need a cable. Most cameras will also allow you to print photos via Wifi.
The Samsung MV800 does not feature bluetooth, however the Canon PowerShot A490, the Fujifilm X10, the Nikon Coolpix L3 and the Olympus XZ1 feature this benefit. More ...
Bluetooth is a communication standard used to wirelessly transfer data between devices. In a digital camera, it is used to send photos between the camera and mobile phones and tablets, or to control external peripherals (such as flashes).
Bluetooth is a necessity to use certain modern camera peripherals, so without this tech you will be limited with what extras you can use.
The Samsung MV800 has received a Kagoo Score of 72, but the Canon PowerShot A490 scored 81 and the Olympus XZ1 scored 75.
This digital camera does not seem to be currently available. More ...
Samsung digital cameras have an average rating of only 83.6%, however Canon has an average rating of 95%, Fujifilm has an average rating of 86.3% and Nikon has an average rating of 90.4%.

5 Reasons For for Choosing the Fujifilm X10
The Fujifilm X10 has a 2/3" (2/3)" image sensor size, whereas the Canon PowerShot A490 only has a 1/2 to 1/2.5" image sensor size, the Nikon Coolpix L3 only has a 1/2.5 to 1/3" image sensor size and the Olympus XZ1 only has a 1/1.5 to 1/2" image sensor size. We do not know what type of image sensor size the Samsung MV800 have. More ...
Optical sensor size is one of the most important factors affecting the image quality produced by a digital camera. Compact digital cameras have smaller optical sensors due to the reduced space available in the camera body. Digital SLRs and Mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras (MILCs) have large optical sensors to achieve maximum image quality.
A larger optical sensor produces better quality photographs. A 4/3" sensor size has a 2x crop factor compared to 35mm film, while a 1/4" sensor size is significantly smaller and will result in lower quality images.
The Fujifilm X10 supports Full HD video, however the Canon PowerShot A490, the Nikon Coolpix L3, the Olympus XZ1 and the Samsung MV800 do not support this feature. More ...
Cameras with full HD video recording can capture video with a resolution of at least 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Full HD video usually appears sharper as more pixels re being recorded.

2 Reasons For for Choosing the Canon PowerShot A490
The Canon PowerShot A490 has received a Kagoo Score of 81, whereas the Fujifilm X10 scored 72, the Nikon Coolpix L3 scored 72, the Olympus XZ1 scored 75 and the Samsung MV800 scored 72.
Canon digital cameras have an average rating of 95%, but Fujifilm only has an average rating of 86.3%, Nikon only has an average rating of 90.4%, Olympus only has an average rating of 79.1% and Samsung only has an average rating of 83.6%.
11 Reasons Against for Choosing the Canon PowerShot A490
The Canon PowerShot A490 has a weight of 175g, however the Fujifilm X10 is a 330g digital camera (155g heavier), the Nikon Coolpix L3 is a 120g digital camera (55g lighter), the Olympus XZ1 is a 275g digital camera (100g heavier) and the Samsung MV800 is a 121g digital camera (54g lighter). More ...
The camera's weight will depend on the type and size of camera. Compact cameras are usually the lightest while digital SLRs will be heavier. Also consider the number and weight of lenses to take when using a SLR.
The lower the camera weight, the easier it will be to carry around and it will also reduce your hand luggage weight when flying.
The Canon PowerShot A490 is a 10MP digital camera, and so does the Olympus XZ1. That's 2MP lower than the Fujifilm X10 (12MP), 4.9MP higher than the Nikon Coolpix L3 (5.1MP) and 6.15MP lower than the Samsung MV800 (16.15MP). More ...
The resolution of the images a digital camera produces is measured in megapixels (MP). One megapixel is equal to 1 million pixels and is a result of the pixel width multiplied by the pixel height of the image. While a higher image resolution generally results in sharper images, only a relatively low megapixel count is required when printing the image at a small size or to display it on a computer screen.
A sensor with more megapixels will be able to capture more detailed photos and the image will appear sharper. Images with more megapixels can also be printed at a larger size.
The Canon PowerShot A490 has a 1/2 to 1/2.5" (1/2.3)" image sensor size, whereas the Fujifilm X10 has a 2/3" image sensor size and the Olympus XZ1 has a 1/1.5 to 1/2" image sensor size. We do not know what type of image sensor size the Samsung MV800 have. More ...
Optical sensor size is one of the most important factors affecting the image quality produced by a digital camera. Compact digital cameras have smaller optical sensors due to the reduced space available in the camera body. Digital SLRs and Mirrorless interchangeable lens cameras (MILCs) have large optical sensors to achieve maximum image quality.
A larger optical sensor produces better quality photographs. A 4/3" sensor size has a 2x crop factor compared to 35mm film, while a 1/4" sensor size is significantly smaller and will result in lower quality images.
The Canon PowerShot A490 supports a still image resolution of 3648 x 2736 (as does the Olympus XZ1), but the Fujifilm X10 supports a still image resolution of 4000 x 3000 and the Samsung MV800 supports a still image resolution of 4608 x 3456. More ...
Image resolution refers to the amount of pixels that make up an photo taken on a digital camera. It is measured as the width x the height of the image - so a 1280 x 720 resolution camera can take a photo that is 1280 pixels wide and 720 pixels tall.
Higher image resolutions mean that the photos are comprised of more pixels, which translate to more detailed and higher quality photos. Also, because they are larger photos, they can be displayed on larger screens or printed out at vastly increased sizes without losing detail.

The Canon PowerShot A490 is a 4x digital zoom digital camera, and so do the Nikon Coolpix L3 and the Olympus XZ1. That's 2x bigger than the Fujifilm X10 (2x) and 1x smaller than the Samsung MV800 (5x). More ...
The digital zoom of a camera is a measure of how much the camera can zoom in by cropping the image received by the camera's sensor. A digital zoom is not as good as an optical zoom as it will result in a reduction in image quality the further you zoom in. This is because fewer of the camera's pixels are being used to capture the image.
A digital zoom allows you to enlarge the subject but this can result in the image becoming blurry. A digital zoom can be used if an optical zoom is not available.
The Canon PowerShot A490 has a maximum video resolution of 640 x 480 pixels pixels (as is the Nikon Coolpix L3), but the Fujifilm X10 has a maximum video resolution of 1920 x 1080 (Full HD) pixels and the Olympus XZ1 and the Samsung MV800 have a maximum video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. More ...
'Maximum video resolution' measures the largest possible video that the digital camera is able to record.
A larger video resolution means the camera can shoot videos that will be sharper, more detailed and have more clarity.
Canon PowerShot A490 is only 2.5" screen. That's 0.5" larger than the Fujifilm X10 and the Nikon Coolpix L3 (2") and 0.5" smaller than the Olympus XZ1 and the Samsung MV800 (3"). More ...
The display diagonal is the size the size of the screen integrated in to the back of the camera. A larger display diagonal makes it easier to see if a shot has turned out as intended. Pocket cameras have smaller display diagonals as full size digital SLRs.
A larger display diagonal makes it easier to take photos and to see if a shot has turned out as intended.
The Canon PowerShot A490 is a 115 pixels display resolution digital camera. That's 345,000 pixels lower than the Fujifilm X10 (460,000 Pixels), 29,000 pixels higher than the Nikon Coolpix L3 (86,000 Pixels), 495,000 pixels lower than the Olympus XZ1 (610,000 Pixels) and 173,000 pixels lower than the Samsung MV800 (288,000 Pixels). More ...
The display resolution on a display camera denotes how high detail the display is.
High resolutions on the display of your camera means that the photos you take will be shown in higher detail, allowing you to see them more clearly.
The Canon PowerShot A490 takes 150 battery life, however the Fujifilm X10 only takes 270 battery life and the Olympus XZ1 only takes 320 battery life. More ...
We do not know the number of battery life taken by the Nikon Coolpix L3 or the Samsung MV800. It is possible that they do not take any battery life.
The number of shots per battery charge is the number of photos that the camera will typically take on a single charge of the battery.
More shots per battery charge means you will have to recharge the battery less frequently and reduces the need to carry a second back up battery.
The Canon PowerShot A490 is one year older than the Fujifilm X10, three months older than the Olympus XZ1 and five years older than the Samsung MV800.
The Canon PowerShot A490 is 93.5mm wide, 61.7mm tall, 30.6mm deep and weighs 175g.
The cheapest price that we could find for the PowerShot A490 in the US is $129.99 but in total we found only 1 price for it.

A digital zoom is not as good as an optical zoom as it will result in a reduction in image quality the further you zoom in. This is because fewer of the camera's pixels are being used to capture the image.
A digital zoom allows you to enlarge the subject but this can result in the image becoming blurry. A digital zoom can be used if an optical zoom is not available.
Olympus XZ1 is only 6 maximum ISO speed, but the Fujifilm X10 is a 12,800 maximum ISO speed digital camera (6,400 higher) and the Samsung MV800 is a 3,200 maximum ISO speed digital camera (3,200 lower). More ...
ISO sensitivity denotes the sensitivity of your camera to available light. Modifying the sensitivity causes the camera to gather more or less light when forming an image. Higher sensitivity gathers more light, which means can lead to a sharper image in low-light conditions. However it may also lead to increased 'noise', meaning the ISO level must be carefully modified to get the best shot.
A higher maximum ISO sensitivity will allow you to take photos in lower light levels without using flash.
The Olympus XZ1 does not support Full HD video, however the Canon PowerShot A490, the Fujifilm X10, the Nikon Coolpix L3 and the Samsung MV800 support this feature. More ...
Cameras with full HD video recording can capture video with a resolution of at least 1920 x 1080 pixels.
Full HD video usually appears sharper as more pixels re being recorded.
The Olympus XZ1 has a maximum video resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels pixels, and so is the Samsung MV800, which is half as high video resolution as the Fujifilm X10 (1920 x 1080 (Full HD) pixels). More ...
'Maximum video resolution' measures the largest possible video that the digital camera is able to record.
A larger video resolution means the camera can shoot videos that will be sharper, more detailed and have more clarity.
The best video resolution supported by the Olympus XZ1 is 1280 x 720 pixels pixels which is also supported by the Samsung MV800.

We do not know what types of video resolution the Canon PowerShot A490 and the Nikon Coolpix L3 support. More ...
The Olympus XZ1 also supports a 640 x 480 pixels video resolution.
The video resolution is the size of the image that the camera can record in video mode. It is measured in pixels where the first value is the number of horizontal pixels and the second value is the number of vertical pixels.
A higher video resolution will be noticeable when playing back videos on HD televisions. The video will appear sharper and more life like. Recording video at a higher resolution will fill your memory card more quickly though.
The Olympus XZ1 has received a Kagoo Score of 75, but the Canon PowerShot A490 scored 81.
The Olympus XZ1 is more expensive than the Canon PowerShot A490 by $128.
