Summary: Great Camera for Price
Comment: I purchased this camera in August of 2007. This is the second Digimax camera that I have owned. I am truly happy with my purchase. I definitely agree with some of the other reviews that it is necessary to have rechargeable batteries, but otherwise the camera works good, and also takes pretty good videos.

One drawback that I have found with the camera is the lag time it takes to snap the pictures. Sometimes when taking pics of impatient kids, they move around before the flash, and then it distorts the pic. Other than that, I don't have any complaints, and I would definitely recommend this camera for purchase.

Summary: Great value for the money
Comment: What's up everyone, it's your boy, Emko. This camera is a great value, 8.1MP around $100, is outstanding. The videos it takes are fantastic, easily watched on your PC or TV, and you can even take pictures or video while you watch what you're doing on the TV! Take the time to read the manual, you can make adjustments (like taking close-ups, adjusting the ISO, etc.) that will make all the difference in the world and would negate most of the problems people have with this camera. A little bit of reading and you can take pictures like the pros. Don't take my word for it, I'm just Emko, try it for yourself.

Summary: It's good
Comment: It's a good price. It doesn't initially seem as good as other cameras, because it seems like it has less functions, but if you play around with it you find a lot of cool stuff to do with it. Also, when its on your computer the quality is great. I could see the contacts inside my eye in one of my pictures, thats how much detail it picks up on. Unfortunately when I tried to take a picture of a praying mantis, there is no focus option and I couldn't get a clear view of something so small.

besides it's lack of focus on small objects, the only other downfall is it's fragility. I recommend you don't drop it. My friend dropped hers and it will barely turn back on. I dropped mine once and sometimes it shuts off while I'm taking a picture.

But the quality of the prints I get is amazing, it looks almost professional, especially with it's black and white and sepia converters. Also there are some goofy settings in there for those who are amused easily, such as frames and fake hair and whatnot. You'll see if you buy it.

It's really good, for those who don't want to spend so much money.
You can still be creative.

I recommend it. Just don't drop it.

Summary: Horrible Camera
Comment: This is our second Samsung Digital Camera. The first one broken within weeks - lens would get stuck, zoom wouldn't work, and you could not take any pictures. When it would 'freeze' the only solution was to shut down, and restart. Then the photo-op was gone.
The camera was a Christmas gift for our daughter, and I didn't want her to have to deal with these issues.

We took the camera back to the store, and because it was just after Christmas the store was out of most of their digital cameras. The gave us a store credit, and we later upgraded to the Samsung Digimax S800 8.1 mp. It was a bit more than the 5.0 mp, but it seemed like an incredible deal.

Now less than 6 month later, the same problem, and more. The lens stays in the fully extended position now, and runs down the batteries, and if you try to adjust the zoom the camera shuts off. There is no stop/start solution. It is now a paper weight.

I was just informed it is too late to return it or exchange it. Do not be fooled by this 'Steal' , you'll just be robbed $200 like me.
