Digital camera reviews of Samsung S860 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Blue)

Digital camera Review: Awesome camera
Summary: 5 Stars

I got this camera for my 13 birthday last month. I love it. The pictures it takes are great and even printing out big pictures, the qualiaty is fantastic. I use my camers so much and so far the only bad thing i have found out is that if you keep it plugged into the computer when importing pictures, and forget to turn it off, the battteries will die. The best thing to do is buy the rechargeable energizer betteries. I recommend this camera to anyone who is a cheapscape for good qualiaty cameras. BUY IT!

Digital camera Review: Awesome camera
Summary: 5 Stars

I love this camera.. it is really great. The pictures are very clear and the quality is good. It is also easy to use and the functions are easy to understand for the average individual.. I would recommend this camera to anyone who was thinking of buying one.

Digital camera Review: Decent Camera for the price
Summary: 4 Stars

This Camera arrived in stated time and is exactly as the description says, It operates a little slow at times but serves its purpose as a camera that I can keep on me instead of my DSLR. I can't imagine spending more for something that is not a SLR.

Digital camera Review: Decent camera
Summary: 3 Stars

Got this camera on a whim as a replacement for my Canon model, which I dropped into a lake. It is a decent camera, and I haven't had any serious problems with it. However, I have noticed that this thing drains battery life like a vampire. Even with high end batteries, I can't take many pictures before they die--and I never leave batteries in the camera when it is not in use. I know it sounds crazy, but I swear, before I started taking the batteries out after use, I would put a new set in, take a few pictures, and when I came back to the camera a few days later, the batteries would be dead. Also, there are sometimes two phantom spots in my pictures, one on the left side of the lens and one in the upper right corner. I have tried rubbing the lens with a cloth but the spots always show up in my pictures.

All in all, I am okay with this camera but I would not buy it again.

Digital camera Review: Didn't expect DSLR in a pocket camera
Summary: 4 Stars

I got this camera as a gift. I like it very much, & it takes great shots. I don't expect it to compete against my DSLR camera, it's not made like that.
I use this camera instead of keeping my 'bigger' camera in the vehicle daily. It tucks away quite easily in it's case, & can be used rather quickly.
The picture quality is fantastic, there are a few things you can tweak with it, but auto does a fine job. As with most pocket cameras, it's in the jpg format. The picture depth is quite nice.
I like that it uses AA batteries, & that you can tell the camera if you're using alkaline or 'rechargables'.
The shutter lag can be annoying, when you're trying to get a fast shot (the reason to have this camera, for me), but it's digital, small & easy.
The amount of time between shots, isn't too bad really (of course these things are affected by battery, & card).

One thing I wish it had, is delete during save. I love this feature on my much older HP pocket. I will say that you can set the instant review to be a little longer, & the stored shot review is a quick button.
As with most pocket cameras, you shoot via the lcd screen. A bit hard to get accustomed to, but does make shooting easier.
I would suggest picking one up. Do a comparison on the camera you want, don't expect it to take a picture of the ring around the moon, it's not made for that. One final thing, it has a 'kid action' setting that is pretty good for cats as well.
