Samsung Array Review

While photos have an impressive-sounding 1600 x 1200 pixel resolution in Fine mode and color reproduction is adequate, even images taken in daylight exhibit blotchiness and a general lack of detail.

Videos fare even worse, no better than a tiny 15fps, 174 x 144 pixel postage stamp movies of cell phones past. Unless it's the only video camera you have available for documenting a once-in-a-lifetime event, we'd say don't bother.

Samsung Array Review

Quality issues aside, the Samsung Array does have a few more camera features than one would expect, including five different shooting modes (Single, Continuous, Mosaic, Panorama and Night Shot), auto or manual white balance and a five or ten-second timer.

However, the Array's camera is more notable for what it doesn't have – namely autofocus or an LED flash, but given that the sensor fails to live up to even our meager expectations, this shouldn't be much of a surprise.
