Summary: Absolutely LOVE this Camera
Comment: I have had this camera for almost 2 years and I have to say that I absolutely love it! You do not have to be a professional or even advanced to use this camera. Although, it does have lots of options, you can still put it on "Auto" and just point and shoot. This camera is still going to give you great pictures with vivid color. You can learn the more advanced options as you get use to the camera. I would highly highly recommend this camera to anyone who asked me about it. I wouldn't trade mine for anything!

Summary: Definitially does it's job!
Comment: I am a licensed child photographer, so I knew exactly what I was looking for when I bought this camera. This camera is now my favorite to use. I like that I dont have to change lenses, which lets me focus on only one thing - the children. I do have to use a tripod if I dont use the flash, but I expected that. The battery always outlasts my 2.0gb memory card, so I don't have to change the battery mid-photoshoot. One thing to know though - if the battery IS low, the shutter speed is very slow. So keep it charged. I recommend this camera to my friends, my photo specialists, and well, to everybody!

Summary: Great digital camera
Comment: I'll start saying that I'm not a pro photographer, but this digital camera has some features that really impress me, starting by the big LCD screen, the 15 x zoom, fast response and multiple options to configure and adjust. Also it's a great price if you compare with others with similar features.

De only draw back that I'm aware so far is that the size doesn't fit in any third party case, I bought a low alpine and it fit uncomfortable, probably best choice is to buy the original samsung case.

Summary: Great Camera
Comment: I am not a techie, but I got the Samsung as a step up from a regular Kodak digital. Please forgive my lack of "technical" discussion.

I find it an "adventure": I'm learning it as I go along and very day is a new suprise. Fairly easy to use and packed with features. Love the long zoom, love the huge LCD and all the other goodies. Pix are sharp and clear. I haven't seen any other high end digital that is comparable. Only complaint is shutter lag time.

I got it as "refurbished" here and saved a bundle. Seems new to me.

Summary: GREAT BUY
Comment: I'm no professional camera user myself, but this camera has such a crisp quality of taking picture, and it really teaches you how to focus and time your shots when using the manual zoom. It takes brilliant pictures, has great camera life, and I always have room on the memory card it came with for more picture.

The only thing that's a little bit of a nitch is that the top screen is hard to use when your doing manual focus becuase its soo small, and that the eye finder is digital so its not like an SLR but other than that it absolutely rocks and is a GREAT buy!

Editorial Review for Samsung Digimax Pro 815 8MP Digital Camera with 15x Optical Zoom and 3.5-Inch LCD:

The Pro815 is equipped with a 15X optical zoom with a focal length of 28- 420mm, equal to a 35mm equivalent which means you can shoot from wide angle to telephoto with one lens. The Pro815 has four low-dispersion glass lenses specially manufactured to minimize chromatic aberration that can occur when wide-angle and ultra high zoom are supported at the same time. In addition, it employs 2 aspherical lenses for the correction of spherical aberration and lateral colors for the entire zoom range from wide to tele. This lens combined with the high-sensitivity CCD means the Pro815 provides the best image quality. Highly superior Schneider-Kreuznach lens produces crystal clear images by using a highly refractive lens, chromatics and distortion are eliminated for more natural-looking pictures. The 3.5 inch TFT LCD screen coupled with 16.7 million true color support means you can share your images with other people because the viewing angle is wide and the colours are well reproduced. The Pro815 comes a large-capacity 7.4V, 1900mAh lithium-ion battery for up to 450 shots before further charging is required. The Pro 815 achieves very fast response time performing a 1.0 second startup and 1.3 second shot-to-shot speed.
