Movies, MP3 and stills on this tiny camera are great!.......2007-01-19

The last review on this camera was in May 06 so I thought I should say the camera is still incredible. I bought one for my daughter and learned how to operate it before giving it to her ... fell in love with it and ordered another one for myself just last month. I use a 1 gb card and it holds all kinds of still, movies and mp3 music.

My daughter recently went to Rome and took almost 400 pictures and about 10 movie clips on her Digimax i6 from which I made a DVD for her and the rest of the family. Great fun. She put a bunch of her MP3 songs on the disk and walked all around Rome listing to music and taking pictures and movies at the same time with the same camera.

Only problem I had was the camera takes DivX movies and not AVI, but once I figured it out how to work with it they were fine. The color and the sound on her movies were really good - maybe not camcorder quality but close, and a way better than cellphone movies. Biggest problem with movies on such a small camera is holding it still but if you anchor yourself against a wall or pole they'll be fine. The advantage of this movie format is that it is compressed and you can load a whole movie onto a disk and take a few movies with you. Think about that - it really works.

The camera comes with everything except a memory card, but they are cheap now. The earbugs are not bad but plugging in good headphones to listen to MP3 songs is incredibly good.

Price is right - quality is excellent.

My Best Camera Ever.......2006-10-16

I have had a couple of cameras (sony dsc models) in the past and have been looking for one that will just suite my taste in the long run. Looking for size, picture quality, media functionality, Wow! this camera does it all. For its size, I would say, anyone should go out and get this camera. The only drawback I would say is the 2GB max. SD card input and the fact that the battery dies quickly when using the PMP mode very often.

Fantastic Pictures, Great Quality, Easy to use, Great features, All around Awesome Camera.......2006-10-15

I've only had the Samsung Digimax i6 6MP Digital Camera, for a couple days now, but I can't stop raving about how truly fantastic it is.

This camera is perfect for on-the-go use for active people, who just want a reliable quality camera (like me). Overall, this camera is very easy to use. It is simple in it's design, but yet it is very practical. Note: the wave in the design does.... nothing (it doesnt really affect how i hold the camera), and the clip on the camera is more of a hindrance (i wish it was removable).

The features on the product are amazing. MP3 works great, but the only qualm I have with that, is that it only reads .mp3 files. So, all of your .wma, etc. files have to be converted to .mp3 before transferring to the camera. The process of adding songs to the camera is very simple.

Cons: battery life does not seem to last long (especially on the PMP mode), it seems to only work with 2GB SD cards and under, there is a delay between taking pictures for the flash to get set, and there is a very very very slight delay between hitting the shutter button and actually taking the picture, and I dont really like the fact that the lens is located in the corner(its a bit awkward).

It's an awesome camera so far, and I am really satisfied with it.

Mac users, buy the i5.......2006-08-26

Warning for Mac users. This camera, despite the advertising on their web-page about this working on OSX, you can
not get the full functionality with Mac.

Mac users should get the i5. The i5 takes the same beautiful pictures, and the same video, but does not have
the PMP extras.

You need 2 FREE softwares for recording Video. One: DivX. You can get this on the Quicktime webpage. Two: Xvid for Mac OSX. You get this at xvidmovies.com/mac/ This will allow you to play all the movies you record on this camera in Quicktime, and bring them into iMovie. They will still be AVIs with a Xvid Codac but you will be able to see them. You will have to Export them as Quicktime to give them to your friends.

I still have not found how to convert your other films to Xvid, so you can play them on the i6, like it's advertised.
at softpedia.com there is the Ultra Quicktime Converter 1.2.2 which says it can convert QuickTime MOV, QT, MP4, M4V files to AVI, DivX, Xvid, MPEG1, MPEG2, VCD, SVCD, DVD(*.VOB) files.

The PMP player is an MP3 Player and Movie Player. They didn't make this iTunes compatible, despite iTunes being one of the Largest download sites in the world. You can only play MP3s. You must create a folder called MP3, and then you can dump all the music you SD card can hold on it. This works just fine.

The movie Part requires a piece of software that they give you on a Disk (only works with PC). This converts the movies into something that can be played on the camera. AVIs with a Xvid Codac.

When I called, and asked why they say it's Mac compatible, they told me the Camera IS, so they can say that. But When the unit is advertised as a PMP, and none of the PMP functions work without a bunch of plugins (if at all), then I feel it's false advertising.

There is a slow delay between pressing the button, and taking the picture. About 1 second, I'd say.

It has an amazing Macro lens. (see the picture I took of a Quarter above).

The low light pictures are better then most of the cameras, I used (except the Casio Exilim), but this camera doesn't have the extending lens that can break in your bag, or refuse to retract.

It's a fantastically great camera. I love the pictures it takes. I have a 2GB card in it, and it works fine. The battery has lasted several days, and is only now missing one bar.

I am not going to return it, but If I had the choice again, I would have bought the i5 for $. It's a lot cheaper, and takes the same great pictures.

This is a great device. It comes with a manual that appears to be nothing but wastepaper with pictures- throw this manual away. There is a much better manual that should come with the included software but is also available from samsung.com. You'll want to spend some quality time with the manual to make some adjustments, but it's versatile and will take excellent pictures. The mp3 player is a nice feature and it's functional, but it has some limitations. It will satisfy most users needs and the sound quality is good to excellent, even with the included earbuds. The video features for capturing and previewing are also above average, but are a drain on the otherwise-everlasting battery. The voice recorder is...a voice recorder. The software is easy enough to use and it also works as a swappable drive, which means you can transfer information to and from any computer- without the software. It functions well all around, especially considering the pricetag. This thing is a steal.

A few minor things: The clip on the front- not really a clip, more of a grip. Accessories are difficult to find. The 1gb storage capacity is a big downside to me, but again, this will suit most users. Don't let any of these things stop you from buying this camera, just letting you know.

Enjoy!
