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

Digital camera Review: Samsung Camera
Summary: 4 Stars

I received when promised, loved the value that I paid for but would not buy this camera at full retail value, feels cheap but takes pictures well. Good enough for a teenager.

Digital camera Review: Samsung S860
Summary: 4 Stars

The Samsung S860 has features I wanted. It does not require a driver. Cameras that require a driver for your computer generally provide them for Windows or Macintosh. As I use Linux, requiring a driver would be a show stopper. That's why I avoid Fuji and Kodak. But even for people who use Windows, if you're at a friends house, take some pictures, and want to share them, if you need a driver, you may have to wait until you get home, and email them.

The S860 has a big preview screen, 3x zoom, is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, and is cheap. The 30 FPS 640x480 videos with sound are very nice.

On the down side, it does not have a see-through view finder, and this can make it difficult to take pictures in full sunlight. Also, it needs a case - though this is easily fixed.

Digital camera Review: Satisfactory, no porblems faced
Summary: 5 Stars

I had a good experience. The product arrived timely, product was in good condition. I did not face any problems at all.

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.

Digital camera Review: Very Nice....More than what I expected
Summary: 5 Stars

This camera is very nice. You cannot beat the price. It is small and convenient. You can see you pictures in a slide show with music and picture effects. I had some trouble with the camera at first, but once I bought some expensive energizer lithium batteries, everything has worked out fine. I would reccommend this camera to anyone. I absoloutely love the face detection.
