Digital camera reviews of Samsung S860 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
Digital camera Review: works perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
Samsung S860 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)When i bought this camera it was my first experience with digital camera since than on my visit to Las vegas I took about 300 photos they came fantastic just remember you need 2g memory card which is must because without memory card it holds very few photos also you must use lithium batteries aa because if you use regular duracell it runs out within just couple pictures I was able to take 300 picture with just 2 lithium energizer batteries.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: Well, it worked for half a year
Summary: 2 Stars
This was my first digital camera and I had medium expectations for it. It is a very inexpensive camera and is suitable for taking quick snapshots of people about three meters or further. On the other hand, it is horrendous at taking pictures of things VERY closeup. About 1-2 feet away, pictures will look blurry when even using the correct camera options. Pictures at extreme closeups of less than a foot away will turn out completely blurry.
The flash is actually very good - I have taken pictures of quite small rooms in near complete darkness and you would think it was daytime if it weren't for the shadows. The flash also drains the batteries so be careful. I remember playing with it the first day and the batteries were done after only 25-40 photos. Though, batteries are cheap so no worries... And carry extras with you!!
It is very easy to copy pictures off the camera. All you need to do is plug it in to a computer using the included USB cable, and your computer should recognize it as an external drive. There may be additional software, but it is definitely optional.
I am giving this camera a rating of two stars. I first experienced problems on a long vacation where I took over 300 photos. About every 10 to 20 of them were corrupt jpeg images, but that may have been a problem with the SD card. One night I used it to take a couple more pictures, but the next day it wouldn't even cut on and the shutter does not come out, but a green light turns on if I hold the power button down (the batteries are new). So, the camera worked for about half a year and was good for roughly 1000 photos.
In conclusion, I would recommend spending a bit more money and getting a better digital camera. The parts must be very cheap considering it broke even when I was taking such good care of it.
Digital camera Review: Very POOR Camera and Customer Service
Summary: 1 Stars
My camera was a Christmas present from 2008. Had to pay an extra $59.95 to pay for having it fixed or replaced as it broke on the last day of the 90 day warranty in March 2009. They returned without following their own packing guidelines. Flash broke 2 weeks after returned on June 14th. Had to send in to replace. Two weeks later camera went back out of focus and would not retract lens on June 24th, 2009. Samsung tells me "The camera was fixed before it left the shop." Ok, if I have a broken chair leg, I can prop it up until someone sits upon it.
*I* would not purchase another camera with a Samsung label or any other product based upon how they have handled this. My $75 camera (on sale) has now cost me (not counting photos of Grand Canyon, San Diego, and Las Vegas that I cannot get back with my small kids), but also $139.95 and I still have a broken camera. *I* would spend my money elsewhere.
Digital camera Review: A very nice Pocket camera
Summary: 4 Stars
Too bad they discontinued this camera... it is a really nice camera for a pocket point and shoot... very decent pics, it fits in a shirt pocket, uses only 2 batteries (get rechargable) - a 2GB mem card will yield 453 full rez images... if you can't find one new... find one slightly used and you will not be disappointed (unless you expect it to work like a DSLR, in which case, you shouldn't even bother buying a camera, you got the wrong priorities) Photography is MORE than the equipment.
