Digital camera reviews of Samsung i8 8.2 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (White)

Digital camera Review: great little camera; not so great PMP
Summary: 3 Stars

This great little camera takes pretty good shots, though there is just a little bit more artifacting going on when I take pictures of text than my old LonicaMinolta Dimage X1.

I paid a little extra to get this camera over the other Samsung 8.1MP camera because of the PMP (portable media player) feature after seeing the onboard demo video, and while it does have a great little screen it doesn't seem to take any kind of standard video (I tried lots of different mpeg4 and mov and avi files and they wouldn't even show up on the menu)- you have to use the video converter they supply, which runs on proprietary OS only.

As an MP3 player, it's OK, and it does let you delete a file after you've listened to it (which is a key feature if you listen to podcasts).

There also seems to be no way to charge and listen at the same time- the USB/charge cable and the headphone jack go into the same connector. I guess I'm buying an external battery or two and an offline battery charger.
