Not the Best.......2006-06-11

This camera is not so great. I received it as a present some years ago, so I can't really complain all that much. It's getting rather old anyhow, as far as cameras go that is.

Positives:
--It takes pictures.

Negatives:
--The camera itself is fairly bulky.
--The photos generally turn out pretty bad. Many of them have large lines running through them.
--It takes the camera quite a long time to turn on and then it beeps for a while.
--Batteries get the life sucked out of them. The batteries it came with couldn't even keep the camera on long enough for it to stop beeping and let me take a picture.
--The date and time is printed on every picture in large, orange font and it resets itself every time the batteries are taken out. I have so many pictures with the year 2055 printed on them and can't figure out how to remove the date.

Overall I would recommend you not to buy this camera, but that's up to the buyer.

A little slow..........2003-11-16

I bought this camera as my second one. I had previously a Polaroid PDC640, image was really crappy with that one.
I was very happy with this camera, UNTIL I bought a 128MB smartmedia card. Camera turned very slow. It tooks me nearly 27 seconds to get the camera ready to take a shot, and flash fully charged. Indeed, as someone commented out here, this is NOT an action sports camera. But you get what you pay for.
Overall, I'm happy with it, despite the fact that is slow.

Good camera for the price.......2003-05-08

You can probably find this camera at a very low price. The picture quality is quite good, and once you get used to it, its fairly easy to use and gives good results.
Be aware that, when using flash, this camera uses up AA batteries very quickly. I'd estimate you can get 20+ flash pictures before you'll need to replace the batteries. You'll get better battery life when taking pictures in sunlight, without flash.
The camera does support a DC power supply, but finding a DC power supply that matches the specs listed in the manual may be difficult. I finally located one at a specialty camera store.
Finally the manual, Samsung web site, and Samsung customer support leave MUCH to be desired.

Great Camera but. . . . ........2002-11-28

I picked it up for about a hundred bucks cheaper at Wal-mart.

Excellent Camera for the Price.......2002-10-15

This is my second digital camera. My first was the awful Polaroid Fun Flash 640. My mom had a Samsung 130, and I liked the features (easy downloads) but the picture quality was lacking at the 800x600 resolution. I found the 200, which is essentially the same camera with higher resolution (1600x1200).
Your computer sees it as a removable drive, so downloading is as easy as cut and paste. You don't even need drivers for XP Pro.
A couple caveats-after you take the picture, you have to wait about 10 secs to take the next one. The other problem-just like others have said-battery consumption. Standard alkalines will last about 15 minutes if you use the LCD. Get the Ni-MH rechargables-they last hours and you then you can recharge them.
Overall, I am extremely happy for with this camera.
