Decent Product2009-06-03
The camera features and operation are great. The problem is that the lens sticks out from the body, so "slipping" it into your pocket is not an option. Besides the bulky shape, its a great camera.
Samsung Digital Camera2008-07-05
I purchased this camera with a lot of research in all aspects, especially as this was my second digital camera. The result was the Samsung Digimax S850, and as a second camera I was not unhappy with the purchase, infact, a year on, I can honestly say that I made the best choice for me, and can recommend it if you want a no nonsense, easy to follow, excellent picture camera. I am no expert on cameras, but this one just does what you want and even though the battery life is short, I found that with lithium batteries, it lasts a good deal longer, and I am not constantly trying to find batteries, for that moment. I would recommend this camera, I like it so much that I bought one for my mum and she LOVES it.
Not bad, but priced accordingly2008-06-14
My mother purchased this for me on my birthday gift (she's in her sixties) and is very thrifty. I saw it and thought well it doesnt look all that trendy. All in all camera takes very clear pics only as long as your subjects dont make any sudden moves. Zoom is good also it stays clear, until you start using the optical zoom at about 3 megapixels or higher. For the price its ok, not the one I would have picked if I purchased it though.
Looking for the warranty2008-05-30
Well, it took 3 weeks to receive because UPS lost it. Worked for about 4 days until it wouldn't turn on (the lense is stuck in the extended position) and started making a weird beeping noise. Before that, I had trouble getting it to set to the auto mode but that seemed to go away. The pictures weren't all that great but manually adjusting the aperture and shutter speed helped. This is not a very good point and shoot camera. In short, I would save the money this thing costs and buy something more expensive, which is what I am going to have to do anyway.

The good news is that the vendor, PC Universe, was very helpful in getting the product found and delivered to me. They actually answered their phones right away the several times I called them.

Samsung S850 is good but its a battery hog.2008-04-22
Over 1 year later it still works fine, even after a 4ft drop to asphalt.

Its fun with a lot of features you will most likely never use. Frame your pics with several premade frames. Record audio to go with your pics. Nice fades during the slideshow. It seems to have all the usual film settings for a mid grade camera, I leave it on auto 95% of the time. Plenty of resolution to heavy crop most any pic and still be sharp. I usually end up making some gentle brightness/contrast changes in editing.

Drains NiMh batteries so fast. Keep at least 1 set of spares at all times. Won't even work with some older NiMh. Won't work for long at all with any standard alkaline, somuch that its a complete waste to use them. Never tried the Lithium.

Poor battery life is not a factor in picture quality thankfully, so overall I'm happy with the performance and features of this camera.

Digital cameras are good for the environment
As we consider the digital camera revolution that has taken place over the last decade, most people think about it in terms of enhanced benefits for consumers. We can take a lot more pictures at much lower cost with digital cameras versus film cameras. We can also more easily manipulate and share those photos since they're all in the digital realm. But one thing many people don't think about actually deserves mention as potentially the most profound effect of the digital camera revolution: how digital cameras greatly reduce the destructive impact on the environment compared to film cameras. At first, you might think, "How can that be? My film camera didn't harm the environment!" Even though it wasn't your camera that harmed the environment, your film processing did indeed harm it. Any time you take your pictures to a photo processing center, that film is run through batches of chemicals. These chemicals are environmental hazards, and once they are used to process film, those chem ...
