 Samsung Digital Camera July 5, 2008
Ms. S. D. Findlay (England)
I purchased this camera with a lot of research in all aspects, especially as this was my second digital camera. The result was the Samsung Digimax S850, and as a second camera I was not unhappy with the purchase, infact, a year on, I can honestly say that I made the best choice for me, and can recommend it if you want a no nonsense, easy to follow, excellent picture camera. I am no expert on cameras, but this one just does what you want and even though the battery life is short, I found that with lithium batteries, it lasts a good deal longer, and I am not constantly trying to find batteries, for that moment. I would recommend this camera, I like it so much that I bought one for my mum and she LOVES it.
 Not bad, but priced accordingly June 14, 2008

My mother purchased this for me on my birthday gift (she's in her sixties) and is very thrifty. I saw it and thought well it doesnt look all that trendy. All in all camera takes very clear pics only as long as your subjects dont make any sudden moves. Zoom is good also it stays clear, until you start using the optical zoom at about 3 megapixels or higher. For the price its ok, not the one I would have picked if I purchased it though.
 Looking for the warranty May 30, 2008

Well, it took 3 weeks to receive because UPS lost it. Worked for about 4 days until it wouldn't turn on (the lense is stuck in the extended position) and started making a weird beeping noise. Before that, I had trouble getting it to set to the auto mode but that seemed to go away. The pictures weren't all that great but manually adjusting the aperture and shutter speed helped. This is not a very good point and shoot camera. In short, I would save the money this thing costs and buy something more expensive, which is what I am going to have to do anyway.
The good news is that the vendor, PC Universe, was very helpful in getting the product found and delivered to me. They actually answered their phones right away the several times I called them.
 Samsung S850 is good but its a battery hog. April 22, 2008

Over 1 year later it still works fine, even after a 4ft drop to asphalt.
Its fun with a lot of features you will most likely never use. Frame your pics with several premade frames. Record audio to go with your pics. Nice fades during the slideshow. It seems to have all the usual film settings for a mid grade camera, I leave it on auto 95% of the time. Plenty of resolution to heavy crop most any pic and still be sharp. I usually end up making some gentle brightness/contrast changes in editing.
Drains NiMh batteries so fast. Keep at least 1 set of spares at all times. Won't even work with some older NiMh. Won't work for long at all with any standard alkaline, somuch that its a complete waste to use them. Never tried the Lithium.
Poor battery life is not a factor in picture quality thankfully, so overall I'm happy with the performance and features of this camera.

I always had Cannon cameras and they worked great but broke easily and the customer service was horrible. I bought this camera at sears yesterday and it is back at sears today. I asked the customer sevice person why the camera was only listed at $123 and he said that he didn't know because he heard that it is a great camera. After using it for 10 minutes I could tell that the quality was bad. I bought the camera for the 8.1 MP however it didn't seem to be any better then the ratio on my cannon which was 3.2. A friend told me that the MP doesn't matter if the lense is bad. After using the camera for about 25 minutes the batteries died.
I only recomend this camera if you want something cheap that takes ok pictures during the day
