Digital camera Review: Not compatible with current Mac operating systems
Summary: 1 Stars
I recently purchased this camera and to my utter surprise, the S860 is not compatible with my 2008 Mac operating system: 10.5.8! The user manual says that the S860 is only compatible up to Mac 10.4-Buyers Beware!!Digital camera Review: Not good
Summary: 1 Stars
Gave the camera as a gift. It looks small enough for my girl to carry in her purse and snap pics here and there. However after having to exchange two cameras because it would get stuck somehow, we gave up.Digital camera Review: Peak and Drop-off
Summary: 3 Stars
I received this camera two Christmases ago. I took really good care of it, keeping it in a case, and it worked beautifully. That is, until the first day of camp about a week ago. The screen went black, the shutter froze open, and the zoom stopped partially retracted. This is a frequent problem for this camera. This is not the most wear-friendly camera out there, but it was a good price for my first digital camera.
There are enough features to satisfy a new photographer. My complaints are concise: the batteries tended to wear out too quickly for my taste, so I always had to bring along PLENTY of spares. The "movie" feature is right above the "auto" button, which is what I kept my camera on most of the time. The dial would pivot in its case, resulting in frequent "accidental movies". Also, the flash has to reload before it will let you view your pictures. This is extremely inconvenient, because after a picture, you generally have people crowded around you, waiting to see the picture. Lastly, the flash loaded far too slowly for decent action shots, even though putting the camera on "child" mode helped a little bit. Lastly, the shutter would sometimes catch, resulting in a black shadow on the screen. Touching the shutter doors lightly with a finger amended the situation, but it was confusing until I figured out what had happened.
Ultimately, this is a good starter camera. It takes good pictures and is an unobtrusive device to carry with you. I always copied my photos over manually from folder to folder on my computer because it's simply faster that way. But I'm sure the included software works fine, too. Take good care of this camera and beware of its quirks, and it will take good care of you.
Digital camera Review: Pleasently surprised
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased the Samsung S860(silver) over a month ago. I've been pleasently surprised how well this little camera has performed for me. The value is well worth the price tag.
The little thing did have a few more functions then I thought I would ever need or use...but I've used a number of them including the video function(having bought a 2GB memory card first however.
After almost 2 months now of a lot of use and I'm still learning about this little giant...working out well!
I recomend this camera for beginners and for those that need a second or third camera to carry(even tho it's a shade larger then most in its class)You'll also want extra set batteries to carry with you...but having a good supply of rechargable batts works just fine!
