The Samsung L100 is a compact camera from Samsung's L-series, a range of slim point-and-shoots sold in the late 2000s alongside models like the L200 and L730. It was aimed at casual buyers wanting a pocketable everyday camera.
It pairs a small CCD sensor in the 8-megapixel class with a roughly 3x optical zoom lens and a 2.5-inch rear LCD screen. Storage runs on SD/SDHC cards, and the feature set is limited to automatic and preset scene modes, with no manual exposure control, reflecting its place as a basic entry-level model of its generation.
The L100's slim, simple design favoured portability and low cost over the longer zooms and touch controls Samsung was adding to its higher-end compacts, making it a straightforward snapshot camera rather than a feature showcase.
Used examples are inexpensive and plentiful, generally sold as basic backup cameras. Check that the sliding lens cover operates smoothly, test the battery door latch for cracks, and confirm the LCD is free of dead pixels, common wear points on slim compacts of this generation.
