The Samsung L73 has an interesting selection of features, but there are a few missing that we would like to see at the price. There’s no proper image stabilization, and no manual control. Although many users won’t miss the latter, the lack of either electronic or optical image stabilization may be a deal breaker since many models include it (such as the Canon PowerShot SD800IS) costing just a few bucks more. But the L73 will appeal to those who value form as well as function. The Smart Touch system provides an interesting solution to the problem of providing users with the ability to control the camera without overwhelming them with options. We’ll see how the image quality stacks up when we get a finished camera to review
