Samsung Digimax i6 — 2006 compact camera with 6.1MP 1/2.5in CCD sensor and 3x zoom
The Samsung Digimax i6 is a compact digital camera from Samsung's Digimax range, the brand under which the company sold its consumer digital cameras through the mid-2000s before later dropping the Digimax name. It launched in spring 2006 as a mainstream point-and-shoot model.
It uses a 1/2.5-inch CCD sensor with 6.1 megapixels, paired with a 3x optical zoom lens covering a 39-117mm equivalent range and additional 5x digital zoom. The 2.5-inch TFT LCD carries 230,000 dots for composing and reviewing shots, and images are recorded to SD or MMC memory cards.
By the standard of its era it offered a reasonably bright, moderately wide lens and a larger-than-typical rear screen, but manual control is minimal, with the camera geared towards fully automatic shooting. Files are modest by later standards, suiting small prints and screen viewing rather than heavy cropping.
These now sell cheaply as basic secondhand compacts. Worth checking are whether the camera still accepts and reads memory cards reliably, that the zoom extends smoothly, and that the LCD has no dead pixels, since units of this age can show screen degradation.
