Amazon.com Product Description
Nicely compact and full of style, the Samsung Digimax V700 is one of the most affordable 7-megapixel point-and-shoot digital cameras available. It's ready to take pictures very quickly thanks to its instant start-up, which allows you to shoot pictures as soon as the camera is turned on, and the high-speed shot-to-shot feature allows continuous high-speed shooting. The V700 features world-class Schneider optics, 3x optical and 10x digital zoom, a plethora of customization modes, and a movie mode that is limited only by the size of your memory card. It comes in three colors: blue, silver, and red.

The 1/1.8-inch CCD provides a resolution of 7.0 effective megapixels with the following resolution modes: 3072 x 2304, 2816 x 2112, 2592 x 1944, 2272 x 1704, 2048 x 1536, 1600 x 1200, 1024 x 768, and 640 x 480. The Schneider Kreuznach lens, recognized throughout the world as being one of the leading quality lenses available, produces crystal clear images.

The V700 uses MPEG-4, a high-compression, high-quality movie clip file format, which can record up to 3 or 4 times longer than MJPEG, the usual format for DSC movie clips. It supports more than one hour of video and audio recording time if you are using a 256 MB memory card. Movies can then be played back at TV quality as the V700 can process movies at up to 30 frames per second. Clip length is limited only by the amount of memory available. The Movie Stabilizer feature ensures smooth video through correction of lateral and vertical camera movement caused by the operator's hand shaking. Additionally, the V700 provides a built-in movie clip editing function, enabling you to select part of a movie clip for saving, during playback. It also allows you to capture a selected part of a movie clip as a still image during playback.

The intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) allows you to easily navigate the camera's menu of features and capabilities. It also has a full range of custom choices including a variety of exposure modes, five ISO settings, and more.

5 out of 5 stars Good value for money.......2007-01-04

Has all the necessary features. The anti-shake indicator lets you know that the image is going to be blurred. Specially like the Text mode, which let me take pictures of documents and print it while my photocopy machine was out of order.

4 out of 5 stars Casi perfecta !.......2005-10-28

Estoy muy contento con la cámara, el único defecto que le he encontrado es que el volumen al grabar video MPEG4 es exageradamente bajo.... parecen películas mudas y ruidosas. Por lo demás es muy buena.

3 out of 5 stars Not what I thought.......2005-10-11

I need a camera with >5MP and short movie feature.

This one looks cool since it comes with mpeg4 video and 7 MP. The reviews from Steve and other experts are not too bad. The sample pictures online are really nice to me.

So I bought it. I like it very much before I found this problem.

THE SOUND VOLUME of the VIDEO is VERY VERY LOW! you can barely hear it if you shoot someone a couple of feet away. How disappointing!

I called Samsung to make sure whethter it is a design issue or just this one I got is malfunctioning. The RP was so rude. She told me, "this is a still camera, no a video camera", "it is not a design issue".

I used Sony P-92 before. The volume level of that camera is very good. But this Samsung V700, what a flaw. Otherwise I will like it and keep using it.

I ended up sold it on ebay. Please avoid this one if you are inrerested in its mpeg4 video. It is not worth it.
