Samsung's 10MP travel-zoom compact — 38-190mm-equiv 5x zoom, 2.7in LCD, AA batteries, from 2009.
The Samsung S1065 was a 10-megapixel compact from 2009, one of the last of Samsung's AA-powered S-series before the ES and PL lines took over the budget space. It stood out from its stablemates by carrying a longer 5x zoom rather than the usual 3x, aimed at buyers wanting extra reach without extra cost.
It featured a 10.2-megapixel 1/2.33in CCD and a 5x optical zoom of 6.3-31.5mm, equivalent to 38-190mm on 35mm film — useful telephoto reach for the class. A 2.7in LCD handled framing, with face detection and digital image stabilisation on board plus auto, manual and scene shooting modes. Photos and video saved to SD cards, connectivity was USB, and power came from two AA batteries with NiMH rechargeables recommended. The body weighed about 160g before batteries.
The long-for-its-day zoom makes it a flexible cheap travel snapper, though the slow lens at 190mm equivalent and digital-only stabilisation demand good light at full stretch. Otherwise it is a typical simple CCD compact: punchy daylight colour, leisurely autofocus, flash indoors.
Check the AA battery bay for leak corrosion first — it is the most common fault on this series — then confirm the 5x zoom runs its full travel smoothly without lens errors. Test the SD slot, flash charge and screen condition. Cheap NiMH cells transform run-times compared with alkalines, so factor a set into the price.
