Digital camera reviews of Samsung S860 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Blue)
Digital camera Review: Too risky
Summary: 1 Stars
This camera stopped taking clear pictures for us in 8 months. Since it was a very inexpensive camera it wasn't a total shock and the good news was that it was covered under warranty. HOWEVER, dealing with Samsung trying to get it fixed, was nightmarish. They sent the fixed camera to the wrong person's home and I received someone else's camera. This is the truly amazing part: It took over 6 weeks to get the problem rectified. And during those weeks, I spoke with numerous customer service people who never knew what was happening in other Samsung departments. The reps couldn't just call them either. It always required emails and time for the depts to respond. No one was ever held responsible for fixing the problem. Sometimes my calls to Samsung trying to follow up on this were dropped. Anyway, this is the short version and as you can see, if you buy this low end camera, you risk dealing with Samsung and THAT is just too risky if you value your time. Buy a camera from a camera company like Canon. Our higher quality Canon was repaired once in 7 years and without issue.
