This highly effective, extremely reliable Digimax has a lot to offer. With 4.0 mega pixels and a 1.8-inch color LCD, you get incredible options at an affordable price. The easy-to-use Digimax 402 features date imprinting and voice recording. There's also a double self timer which goes off after 10 seconds and every 2 seconds thereafter.The A402 lets you choose between three different photo frames and allows you to edit your images right on the camera too. Its size is 3.6 X 2 X 1.1 inches, making it one of Samsung's smallest and lightest-weight cameras.The 16 MB of flash memory and up to 516 MB of external memory let you store plenty of images while Normal, Sepia and B & W options give you the opportunity to add special effects to your captured images. Seven white balance options allow you to get true color shots no matter what lighting you're in. Your choice of five image sizes ranging from 640 x 480 to 2272 x 1704 pixels and three resolution ranges (fine, superfine and normal) gives you 15 different size/resolution combinations. AVI movie clip and voice recording combined with smaller dimensions make this camera a great companion.

 Excellent camera but only for awhile January 1, 2009

I bought this camera for Christmas 2005 and at that time it was a great deal for small and good quality pictures (4MP is still pretty decent), but 2 years later the flash stopped working without any reason.
It can take a licking, but it's afraid of the dark. April 29, 2008

I just recently purchased a new camera because after three years, my Digimax A402 is on its way out, now. I'm a little sad to see it go because it's been a good little camera for the most part, although it performed poorly in certain low-light situations.
I dropped it on a stone-covered grave in Tombstone, AZ (that was probably about hot enough to fry an egg on at the time) about two years ago at a height of about four or five feet when I nearly fell over a young kid whose parents were allowing to follow me around. Except for a small scratch on the lens it came through the experience functioning just fine.
But now, apparently simply due to age, it's stopped functioning normally. It thinks its batteries are low even when they're fresh, is not adjusting to light, and is taking very blurry pictures.
Still, it took good photos for more than a year (probably closer to two) after being dropped, which is more than I expected in the moments after it actually happened.
Pros: Has a good bit of internal storage, takes nice clear photos, is very compact, is very easy to use, has a landscape mode that takes great outdoor photos, and survived a heck of a fall.
Cons: Was over-priced considering the features (no optical zoom, only a digital zoom, only 4 mega pixels), has a soft LCD screen, flashes three times in any flash-using mode (sounds like no big deal but it can be irritating, especially in my favorite setting - concerts, and drains the batteries), has a looong shutter delay, and does not do well in low light.
MAJOR WARNING about the flash and low-light situations: If you turn off your flash in portrait mode, or use a low-light mode, the shutter delay becomes positively interminable because the shutter speed is slowed, which it does automatically. Because most of the photos I take are at concerts this is totally unacceptable. You have to hold incredibly still to take a photo that isn't severely blurred and your subject can't move for several seconds (I counted a shutter delay of over five seconds.)
Leaving the flash on is often not an option because if you have a crowd in front of you you're going to get a better photo of the back of their heads than of the stage. This became infuriating and is for me probably the camera's biggest drawback. I eventually found a solution to this problem... electrical tape over the flash. The camera functioned much better in concert situations with this little improvement. However, I never found my makeshift solution acceptable. A fast shutter speed (which is sluggish even at its best) in low light should definitely be an option on this particular camera but it is not.
Recomended for: People who need a compact, durable, easy-to-use camera mostly in outdoor situations (where it excels) or indoor situations where a flash is acceptable. A good camera for a family.
NOT recomended for: Anyone who wants to be able to take detailed photos of far-away objects or in dark conditions, or anyone who wants to be able to closely control their camera's settings. Concert and club goers take note: this camera may not be for you.

 Good first camera November 21, 2007

We bought this camera about 25 months ago and have been mostly happy with it. Money is tight, so the expensive camera's were not an option, and our old digital camera broke. It is fairly easy to use and does movies too. The quality is less than my mom's more expensive camera - but it works fine for us. It is small enough to easily tuck into my purse next to my cell phone. Our only complaint is that the off on button doesn't work very well anymore. We have a paperclip attatched to the string to aid in turning it on and off. It does a reasonalble job with batteries - the cheaper AA's will last about 30 minutes - the ultra ones for electronics will last 6-10 hours depending on what you do with it. I've bought rechargable AA's and used them also - I get about 2 hours with them - overall, we like this camera.

This camera takes good pictures in bright light, otherwise don't waste your time. The pictures are pretty hit or miss. I commend Samsung for offering a camera at this price point and it's durable. This is a good camera to have handy b/c it's $100 and is better than getting the disposable variety. It's a point and shoot, let's not forget.
