Samsung's 14MP long-zoom compact — 31-217mm 7x lens, 3in LCD, 720p video, PL200 variant.

The Samsung PL201 was a 14.2-megapixel compact sold around 2010-2011, a retail variant of the PL200 that Samsung announced in July 2010. It sat near the top of the entry-level PL line, offering an unusually long 7x zoom and HD video for a budget-priced aluminium-bodied camera, and appeared in red and black finishes.

Core specifications match the PL200: a 14.2-megapixel 1/2.3-inch CCD behind a 7x optical zoom covering a 31-217mm equivalent range, with 5x digital zoom on top. A 3.0-inch, 230,000-dot LCD handles framing, and Dual Image Stabilisation combines optical and digital correction - notable at this price point. Video records at 720p HD, 30fps, in H.264 format. Face detection with smile shot and blink detection plus a Beauty Shot skin-smoothing mode round out the feature set, and power comes from Samsung's rechargeable BP70A lithium-ion battery.

The 31-217mm reach makes the PL201 more of a mini travel-zoom than a typical entry compact, and genuine optical stabilisation helps keep the long end usable. It suits holiday and everyday shooters wanting one pocketable do-it-all camera; controls are automatic-oriented with no manual exposure, and the small high-density CCD rewards good light.

When buying used, confirm the BP70A battery and a charger are present - this cell was shared across many Samsung compacts of the era, so replacements are still cheap and common. Exercise the 7x zoom through its whole range listening for motor strain, check stabilisation is active in the menu, inspect the 3-inch screen for scratches, and test 720p recording writes correctly to an SD card.
