Great camera for the price! August 29, 2008
Laura Sullivan (Greensboro, NC)
I chose this camera because I was on a strict budget, but (obviously) looking for the highest quality camera on the market. I've had this Samsung for a few weeks now, and have not been disappointed at all! The photographs are easy to take and come out gorgeous thanks to the 8.1 megapixels. There are also a variety of basic features and settings you can play around with in addition to the automatic one. The lag between the actual taking of a picture and when you can take another one is longer than I had hoped, but not unbearable. That is why I rated it only 4 out of 5 stars. This is a great camera for the price, I would definitely reccomend it for a friend.
NEAT LITTLE CAMERA August 28, 2008

I bought this camera for my daughter when she went to camp. I didn't want her take the good one, but I did want her to have a camera. The AA batteries meant she didn't have to worry about charging, and taking extra kit. It has good zoom and face recognizing function, takes video and has different image functions. For $90 it was a bargain, I didn't buy the SD card with it though because, it shipped separately and incurred a shipping fee, so we bought that a local electronics store. Haven't seen it at the same price since though.

 Samsung S860 Power Problems August 26, 2008
Rebecca A. Lawrence
I hate this camera. Wish I could return it . I did just get i back from " repair" under warranty and it still isn't right.
It will not power on.. Sometimes if I jiggle the batteries it will come on, sometimes not. Sometimes taking the batteries out and putting them back in works, sometimes not. Real fun when you are trying to take a picture!
The last thing that happened before I returned it was the shutter stuck open.
I got it back today, put in two brand new AA batteries ( the recommended ones) and it still doesn't come on.
So......I learned that my next camera will not have AA batteries!
I am envious of you that have no problems with it.
Good Camera for the Price August 26, 2008
Lauren K. (Phoenix, AZ United States)
I wanted an inexpensive camera that I could throw in my bag when I travel. My last camera, a Canon A70, was ruined by the constant banging around, even in its case. This Samsung is by no means as good as the Canon, but it's a very good little camera for the price. The resolution is excellent when in bright light. Beach photos were beautiful when the subjects were in the sun. When in the shade of an umbrella, they were a little too dark, even when the focus boxes on the viewfinder showed it should have been metering for the shade. But I was able to lighten them with Corel Photo Pro. Photos of water splashes were caught in mid air and in focus, not blurred.
There is a lag time between when you press the button and when the photo is taken, even after you've pressed halfway to focus. Much slower than my Canon. That lag time is my main complaint with this camera. Outdoor, it's not too much of a problem. But I had a heck of a time photographing my granddaughter on an indoor carousel. I had to take the photo about 2 seconds before she would be in front of me. It was a real guessing game.
But this camera is so inexpensive, I can't fault it too much. I will buy something better when I'm not going to be subjecting it to rough handling.
