Good Camera, expected life 4 years? September 20, 2007

Was primary camera for 4 years worth of weddings, honeymoons, birth of child, vacations, trips to parents, etc. Took excellent pictures and handy videos. No problem with 1MB card. Wouldn't work correctly or practically with anything but those expensive Lithium Batteries($10 for 4), FYI. I got over it. I liked the A/V feature where you can plug it into a television and show the pics & videos. I used that a lot and not all cameras have that..
Optical sensor went bad(Streaky, phsychedelic images) after 4 years. Does that sound about right with other users? Anyway, Samsung said they'd fix it for $50, whatever the problem. Nice offer, but decided to go with a newer camera. Overall, excellent camera experience.
Great Digital Camera August 9, 2007

I purchased mine used on eBay for around $35.00. This camera takes excellent pictures, and is packed with features. It's relatively small and light, which makes it easy to take along when you travel. It uses a variety of battery options - you can use AA (alkaline or rechargeable), or those CR-V3 lithium ion batteries. Either way, you're not stuck with a camera that uses $40.00 proprietary batteries. It can also be hooked-up to an AC adapter, but this is sold separately, and for most people, is not practical to have to plug-in a camera to take pictures.
Although the camera is guaranteed to recognize SD cards up to 256MB, mine has recognized much larger cards (up to 2 GB) with no issues. With memory being relatively inexpensive, I wholeheartedly recommend taking pictures in the highest resolution (finest setting) possible. The results are well worth it.
Some basic Pros:
1).Crisp, bright pictures, which also print beautifully at a photo center or from a PC.
2). Has a larger 1/1.8' ccd chip compared to the smaller 1/2.5" ccd chip on many 7-10 megapixel models - which results in much nicer pictures. Remember - Megapixels do not equal quality, just maximum size.
3). Uses non-proprietary batteries (e.g. 2 x AA)
4). Has a variety of features (B&W, Sepia, Antique style pics, Automatic fine-tuning zoom, series shooting, and a variety of image adjustments, to name a few)
5). Lighter-weight and more compact than many cameras it's size, but still solidly built.
6). Decent optical zoom.
7). Recognizes larger sized SD cards than stated in the user's manual.
Some basic cons:
1). A little slow between pictures when writing to the memory card (about 3.5 seconds in highest quality mode).
2). Optical zoom is very good, but the digital zoom leaves a little to be desired, especially when using it on the highest zoom (12x). Pictures at this zoom seem to be a little out of focus and not as crisp.
3). Small LCD screen (1.5 inches). This can be seen as a pro as well, because a smaller LCD screen eats batteries much less than a large one.
4). 3.2 megapixels will print beautiful 4x6 or 5x7 photos. But if you're looking to print 8x10 photos, posters, etc. you'll need a camera with larger resolution (more megapixels).
All-in-all, this is a fantastic camera for the price!

I liked this camera so much I bought 2 - one for my teenager and one for work. It's my 3rd digital camera and by far the easiest to use with the best quality prints. Can't beat the price! I didn't even have to load any software to view the photos on my computer (Windows XP) simply plugged it in.

 Some potentially serious flaws December 27, 2003
William K. Holmes (Grand Rapids, MI USA)

This is an inexpensive digital, but has some serious flaws. It is a real battery eater, particularly in downloading. The manual suggests using an ac adaptor to avoid eating batteries. Compared to the Canon A70, where all you do is connect and turn the camera on, this requires a complicated download of software, which did not work on my networked computer, and then marking each picture you'd like to copy to the computer.
The camera takes a long time to turn on, focus is not nearly as fast as I want or expect, and works poorly in low light. The manual suggests avoiding that problem by putting the camera in macro and setting distance manually, but for the life of me I can't figure out how and the manual doesn't say. The pictures look of average quality, and I did like the almost intuitive controls, but missed some of the manual adjustments that are present on other cameras, like the A70. I am taking it back, and will spend the extra $$ to get the A70 to replace the one stolen from my car. This one just doesn't cut it.
