Summary: decent camera, battery problems
Comment: This is a decent camera that usually takes good pictures, the only problems are short battery life and the fact that you can't take a stabilized shot without flash.

Summary: nice product and nice price
Comment: The product is pretty well. Although it is just a low price digital camera, it has almost all functions which can be satisfied all families.

Comment: KEEP YOUR BOX & RECEIPT! After 200+ pics my lens got stuck! Samsung online service was fast & easy, don't bother with the retailer or their service plans, you've got 1yr from purchase - labor & return shipping. they want you to insure & ship by UPS, but I just threw a priority mail stamp on it!

Summary: Great pictures, but it stopped working.
Comment: We purchased the camera along with (2) 4G SDHC cards for my wife to take with her on a European vacation with her sisters. Her pictures turned out great. A true point-and-click was what she wanted and the S730 didn't fail. That was, until she got home. I was taking some pictures and a little video when the low battery indicator started beeping and immediately shut-off with the lens still extended. I'm aware that these guys are power hogs, so I run with 2500 mAh rechargeables. So I replaced the batteries, push the power button, the screen lights up, I get three short beeps, and then shutdown. Over and over and over. Doing some research online I discover I'm not alone with this specific malfunction. The sad part is that I even suggested the camera to my mother and she too purchased one not long after us. She too has had the same problem. Figures, right? I was able to turn the mode dial on her camera to a different setting from when it malfunctioned and was able to revive it. I was all too excited to try this on my wife's camera. Especially considering I had let it sit for the last few months. Sadly, it didn't work for us. I did get it to come back on after MANY attempts while trying a multitude of possible secret techie button combinations, but it started malfunctioning again right away. I'm currently awaiting the return shipping information from the surprisingly quick and short service call to Samsung. Luckily, I had 2 weeks left on my 1-yr warranty. I will be sure to post a follow-up at a later date when I have more information.
As always, buyer beware. This could just be a random glitch (bad parts from Malaysia, etc) which can happen to anyone. I hope this review helps.

Summary: BUYER BEWARE!!!
Comment: My camera arrived promptly, however after have it for only 8 days, I couldn't transfer the photos to my computer. A call to Samsung confirmed that the camera was faulty and needed to be mailed (at my expense with insurance) to a repair shop in NJ. I called Ace Photo Digital customer service to learn that they would not take the camera back, even though it was broken, because I didn't save the original packaging. I contacted Amazon, and was told that was totally unacceptable, and I would be receiving a full refund from the merchant, only to receive an e-mail from an Amazon investigator advising me to deal with the manufacturer. Ace customer service advised that returning goods in original packaging is mandatory for EVERY store, however I advised that my daughter returned a broken IPod (Christmas gift) to Circuit City, without the original packaging, and was given a new one. To which she replied, well maybe when we're as big as Circuit City, we can offer that service to our customers. So, buyers, BEWARE! Save all your packaging, or shop at Circuit City!
