ok at the price.......2007-03-17

I have some problems with this camera. I did not notice it has no optical viewfinder, so it eats batteries, especially in cold weather. The battery compartment opens too easily, the batteries fall out often. The instructions are minimal. This is my first digital camera, so there has been too much trial and error. For example, I still don't know how to use the flash as a fill flash, or even if that is possible. Finally, the disk-loaded program that loads the photos to my computer has not yet worked. Both the auto mode and scene mode (for snow) worked well, the pictures look fine.

Great value.......2007-03-09

I am completely satisfied with the overall value of this camera. The picture quality is great and it is very easy to use. The LCD is clean and bright. The video capture lacks a little, but for the price I don't think you could get any better.

delighted with camera & its capablities.......2007-03-08

After owning and using the camera for a month or so now, I am delighted with it. I have only replaced the batteries one time, so don't know what the review hullabuloo about that was for. small lightweight, many features. choice of 6 meg, 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 meg photos at fingertips. What I really decided on this camera for was the MACRO capability as I take photos of very small coins, and must be able to get in within an inch or two to do that. It preforms magnificantly. My previous camera had to add additional lens to do this which was a hassle. I love the Samsung digimax S600.

Picture quality not all that great.......2007-03-08

I've owned a few digital cameras and none have met the quality as my roll film Olympus om1, but of course paying for film, process with cd costs more and is inconvenent, of all the digitals I've owned, olympus d-36l, kodak dc215, this is far better, but picture quality is not as good as I would like. Iam not a heavy user of photos, here and there around town and some of family, but mainly I paint oil paintings and need a good way to download my work for good advertizing, prints and records..I choose this camera mainly for the low price and thinking the 6mp would be good enough, it is o.k. but not near as good as my om1, which I will still use to archive my paintings. As for battery use, I read the reveiws on this and at the same time bought a charger and batterys, so the usage has been o.k., but like I said Iam not a heavey user of photos. One thing I really don't care about is the short movie stuff and all the other settings which is only confussing and a waste as far as I need..if they had only left it as a camera with simple to use features I would like it better and the fact the manual is almost worthless, so little info and so small and hard to read, I downloaded the one available and of course did not print it out as I think it has 45 pages or something like that...the compact size is great, fits into my shirt pocket...I feel the same way about this camera as I do for digital watches, all I really need is the basic's not all the added stuff that makes setting more difficult and useless...

Nice and Small, But Not the Best Pictures.......2007-03-07

This camera is nice and small and is pretty easy to use. The large LCD screen on the back is very crisp and nice.

BUT it is a battery hog, probably because it has no view finder and no way to turn off the huge . You must invest in the premium ilthium photo batteries. The regular Duracells / Energizers will be gone after just 8 photos. I recently took this camera on a safari to Africa. I took about 200 photos and -- I am not kidding -- ended up going through 28 batteries! (couldn't get the more expensive photo kind in Kenya)...

Also, I am not much of a photographer, but I have gotten much better quality photos (more crisp, better colors) from other point-and-click cameras such as the Kodak EasyShare.

Also, this is one of those annoying cameras that has about a 2 second delay between when you press the button and when it actually snaps, due to multiple layers of red-eye flickering. SO annoying. Makes it so much more difficult to get a good shot.
