Amazon.com Product Description
Samsung has combined three of today's most popular electronic gadgets--digital cameras, MP3 players, and Webcams--into one compact device: the Digimax 35 MP3 digital camera. A true point-and-shoot camera, the Digimax uses a fixed-focus lens to provide simple operation, letting you worry about finding the perfect shot instead of finding the right camera settings. The 640 x 480 resolution of the Digimax makes great pictures to post on a Web site or send via e-mail.

The Digimax 35 MP3 really shines when used in conjunction with its included accessories. The software that comes with the camera helps you to create panoramic shots, as well as animations and simulated 3-D images, and a small tripod makes it easy to use the camera as a Webcam.

As mentioned above, two features set the Digimax 35 MP3 apart from other point-and-shoot digital cameras: an integrated MP3 player, and the ability to act as a Webcam. In MP3 mode, the camera plays files stored on CompactFlash cards. The camera's included 8 MB card will hold only about eight minutes of music--a couple of songs--so if you plan to use this feature, you'll want to invest in a larger-capacity memory card. As a Webcam, the camera can shoot footage at 5 frames per second (fps) at a resolution of 320 x 240, or 15 fps at a resolution of 160 x 120. A USB connection ensures speedy music and image transfers.

5 out of 5 stars awesome camera.......2004-10-11

the camera is awesome and it is so worth the money and i hope other people think so too.

1 out of 5 stars WORST CAMERA I'VE EVER SEEN.......2002-11-02

In August 2001, I bought a Samsung Digimax 35 MP3, the first Samsung product I bought, and I feel very disappointed about it. It certainly possesses a number of features making it attractive, such as a fancy design, portability, easiness of operation, easy-to-use software etc. But when it comes to performance, it's very disappointing for the following reasons:
(1) EXTREMELY poor image quality, in what concerns range of colors. The images all look very much alike: brown-gray. No sharp colors, nor any vivid colors. It's hard to accept that a digital camera of these days performs so poorly in this respect. Right from the start, I was willing to accept a limited image size in exchange for the camera's price, but I never, ever could imagine that its color performance could be so bad.
(2) EXTREMELY limited luminosity range. Again, I can't accept that a digital camera could be so limited in this respect. It looks like I'm trying to use a ISO 25 film to take night shots, but I'm using a digital camera to photograph in a room with reasonable lighting, or even at open air at dawn or dusk. How can a digital camera have such a limited lux range?
(3) EXTREMELY poor image sharpness. All it takes is just a little less than full Sun light and we get fuzzy edges and, more frequently than not, blurred images. It's just unbelievable!
(4) The camera shuts itself down after a very short time, so whenever I'm about to take a snapshot, I almost always miss the opportunity. And it takes an incredibly long time to start-up again.
(5) Very high battery consumption, or, if one prefers to put it reversibly, very low energy storage capacity. I just can't fill-up the camera's memory chip before having to change the batteries. Such a strange (=poor) engineering design. For all the reasons above, I'm convinced that the Digimax 35 mp3 is not worth at all the US$ 200.00 I paid for it.
Digimax 35 MP3 is sold as a camera that also records MP3. Since I didn't buy the camera because of MP3, I have never used its MP3 features. So, giving you the benefit of doubt to say its a good MP3 device, this thing should be sold as an MP3 recorder that, by the way, can be used marginally to shoot some low resolution, blue-and-brown photos once in a while.
My wife keeps telling me to sell the camera to get the money back, but I don't feel comfortable charging anything to anyone just ofr getting rid of this such low-performance equipment. And what I do want to do is having a camera worth the price I paid for it.
I tried to send this review/complaint to Samsung many many many times through their "contact us" e-mail address, but all I get are error messages.

5 out of 5 stars all in one product!!!.......2002-01-02

this product is very nice for beginners to digital imaging.It has all capabilities of playing mp3,taking photos and sending videos. Compare to other products I would say that the photos are sharp enough but it is slow to make videos.By 16mb memory card you can take your favorite mp3s to listen.If you want to get sharp images with high quality this product is not for you but considering price it is the one of the best price/quality product.I have used this to send my photos to my family and they liked the images.

1 out of 5 stars Injures 3 birds with 1 stone.......2001-10-19

I recieved one of these things free from iwin.com. Although a cool idea, this thing is poor at everything it does. The pictures are blurry, the performance from the webcam is probably terrible, and the mp3 player is a joke. Here are my complaints:

1. Driver intstallation was a failure on the pc I intended to use this device on. It worked on a second PC no problem, but even downloading the latest drivers from samsung was no help on pc #1.

2. 8MB compact flash is way too little. You'll want to shell out $40-$100 for a much more storage. Unless you want to listen to the same song over and over again, or only have the ability to take a few pictures.

3. Earphone plug is tiny (I think 1/16" plug) so forget about using your own earphones or car adapter. The included earphones are low quality.

4. MP3 controls are terrible on the device. You have to press mode several times to do anything.

5. Flash offers 2 modes "auto" and off. Using auto, the camera decides if it's going to use the flash. If it's not using it, the picture is taken on the first press of the button. If it is, you have to press the button once to charge the flash, and a second time to take the picture. This means when you press the button, you have to be ready for the picture to be taken right then, but the possibility remains that it may have to charge for awhile. Very annoying!!

6. The video capture feature crashed my computer. Generally USB capture devices are low quality anyway, so don't expect anything special from this assuming you can get it to work.

So to sum up, this device attempts to perform 3 cool functions, but comes up short in all categories. Trust me.. I love gadgets, but not this one. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!! You have been warned.

1 out of 5 stars weird headphone connector.......2001-10-12

what is the point of making an mp3 player with some weird headphone connector that is unlike any connector on any other piece of equipment, and only fits the headphones that camne wiht the machine? manufacturers as stupid as this deserve to be boycotted for all time.
