The Samsung ES17 is a straightforward, point and shoot camera. It runs of two AA batteries. Standard features include 12 megapixels and a 3x optical zoom lens. There is also a 2.5 inch LCD screen for composing photos.

The ES17 is aimed at someone looking for a cheaper, easy to use camera. For anyone who finds digital cameras daunting this camera comes with a built in help guide with function descriptions. This can help you select the correct controls and ultimately take better photos.

Samsung has added a few features to help you with portrait shots. These include an automatic red eye reduction tool to help overcome problems caused when taking pictures of people under artificial lighting. There is also a Beauty mode. This helps to reduce blemishes and softens skin. You can control the strength of the filters used.

For close up shots the camera can focus from 10cm away from the subject. Standard definition movie clips can be recorded. The maximum duration for a movie is two hours. Whether or not you can record for this length of time will depend on the size of the memory card you are using.

The ES17 is on the large side for slipping into a pocket. There are black and silver versions available.
