Samsung Digimax S730 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Black) Reviews

Summary: Be careful with this!
Comment: I very lightly dropped this camera on the carpet from about 6 inches away, jammed the zoom and the whole camera never went on again. Also, there is a significant amount of time between pictures, and the screen goes black, which makes it difficult to shoot kids, pets or anyone who can't sit still for a few mintutes.

Summary: Piece of Junk
Comment: I received this as a Christmas gift in 2007. Needless to say, after sending the camera back twice, finally figuring out that the battery life lasts about as long as a roll of toilet paper in a large household AND now that the lens keeps getting stuck, I have had it with this camera! I took this camera to a professional camera shop and the store owner told me he sees many of these cameras with the same problem on a DAILY basis. I just purchased a Fuji for the same amount of money and was told I will be much happier. Don't waste your money on this Samsung camera!

Summary: BATTERY EATER!!!!!
Comment: This is a very good camera. WHEN IT WORKS!! The thing will freeze and eat up all the life of the batteries. However... when it works it is a wonderful camera. It works very well and takes great photos. It's very fun because you can add stickers. DO NOT TAKE VIDEOS. That just sucks the juice out of the battery like a vacume cleaner. All in all it's an OK camera and I can't stress enough the suckish battery life. IT SUCKS SO MUCH>

Summary: I already know it's awesome
Comment: This is actually the second S730 I'm purchasing, the first I brought about three years ago and it's been the best camera I could have ever asked for, there aren't a million useless settings meant for professionals but there aren't a million equally as useless pre-settings; it's a perfect camera for someone who wants the convenience of a point and shoot but also knows more than your average joe when it comes to taking pictures. The only draw back is the fact that if your LCD screen is somehow damaged you're going to either need to send it back to be replaced or simply purchase a new one if you want a fully functioning camera which is what I ended up doing. I mean, my first camera still works and takes pictures and all, but I really have no idea what I'm doing unless I use the manual since I can't see anything on the LCD and even then I don't know if the framing of the picture is right until I get it hooked up to my computer. But all in all, for the price, this camera is a steal.

Summary: Wonderful pictures. Wonderful Camera
Comment: I originally bought a s630 in november '06, and hated it because of the battery life. And I returned it not long after, but last november, I bought an s730 on clearance. An impulse buy... But this time I bought rechargeable batteries. nihm? and the battery life was fabulous. I also changed the battery settings to nimh and I think that had something to do with it. I had two new alkaline, non rechargeables and used them. 10 pics. This camera took wonderful vibrant grain-less photos, and was very easy to use. Over one charge, I could take about 400 pics. And with a 4gb SDHC card, it held about 1100 pics at full resolution. And SDHC is SO much faster.
