samsung s85 compared to my fuji "NOT" but ok

I have had it for 25 days and was thinking about sending it back ,,, I'm going to keep it , The rechargeble batteries are a big $$$ saver for any AA camera especially a battery hog of a cammera. I also had issues w/ it shutting down randomly upon attempting to take photo ,,Problem was powersave options turned on or set to low of a time , 2-3 of them were turned completely off and Hark NO more shutdowns. But,,, man she sucks the power out of a set of ANY type way tooo fast!! People are not complaing as SOMEONE stated ,, There stating a fact. I had a fuji finepix a2650 for 7 yrs , 2.1 MP worked excellent and batteries seemed to last forever. It had a 16 mb xD pic card and it was my only complaint it was propietary to the fuji. I'm sad that died last month while taking pics of my new deck, I was going to get another fuji but don't want those battery packs that require a special charger and cost 1/2 as much as a camera for 1 set of bat. and a charger. i wanted a camera for $100-125 $ bottomline!
the s85 takes excellent pictures and is very flexilbe in what it can do. A 2gb sd pic card last forver w/ pics only and can take some nice video w/ sound.I bought a 2 gb and 1 gig card and have not used the 1 g yet
no need seems like unlimted room on the 2 gb. It is a very nice camera for $111.00 delivered to my door . the colors are neat and the negative exposure is cool , the manual pretty much Sucks and is vague at best, Play w/ the setting and get familar/used to it and tour good to go !! I don't think I can do better for the money i paid .
Some Zoom pics we took amazed me . Also I compared it to a fuji a820 we have at work and it was much better than the fuji . It (s85) takes nice macro pics and the zoom pics were 1000 % better than the fuji a820 , It (the fuji) is not that old and is already making funny grinding noises when zooming in and out. and it won;t take a clear zoom pic at all , i'll keep the samsung and buy another set of rechargeble AA's ,I like it!!!

Awesome camera

I bought this camera June 2008. I read all the reviews, I recommend always reading reviews before buying anything. They are so helpful!!!!!! I too will recommend to buy the recharable batterys and charger. I bought 4 batterys that came with the charger. The camera takes Double AA Batterys. Then you have extra batterys with you when you need them. Also I recommend buying a sandisk 2.0GB memory card, as the camera has only enough space on it to hold about 8 pictures.
The 2.0GB can hold about 400 pictures. Now thats alot of pictures! I'am still learning all the camera does, It's a awesome camera!

So, so disappointed.

I was thrilled to find a reasonably priced camera from a company I used to trust - what a disappointment. After only a couple months of light duty taking pictures of my kids and dogs, it now randomly shuts down regardless of how fresh the batteries are or what I do to try to solve the problems. When it shuts down, sometimes the lens stays open. Right now, I have this camera on my desk, stuck open, dead as a doornail. We tried cleaning the battery contacts but no dice. Google "s85 shuts down" and see that other people have had this problem.

ARGGGHHH! Oh the frustration!

Love the camera! Hate the dang Power button. Whoever designed this stupid, itty-bitty, tiny, button should be smacked in the face. Other than that this camera works beautifully! It's great for those candids of my 1 year old daughter! Just beware of trying to turn it on with fat fingers!

Nice Camera!

This camera comes with everything. It came with a rechargable battery, camera dock, soft carrying case and all the necessary cables including a cable to connect it to your television if you like. Takes very good pictures. I was able to buy the camera for $99.99 If you can find it for that price buy it right away!!!

Compact camera, decent/good for up-close still images only.

The camera is small and lightweight. The battery is pretty good.

The menu is not user friendly. For someone who is unwilling to read a camera manual, or someone who isn't familiar with most cameras, the camera is a pain. The interface is not intuative-- at ALL. I say that as a "techie."

The camera has problems with shutter speed. There is a serious, problemic lag between photos. I have to hold the camera for at least several seconds for the image not to be blurred. It's ruined many photos for me. Even my 5+ year old digital camera doesn't blur photos and have such a horrible lag as this.

Usually I like Samsung products, but I'm dissapointed with the performance of this item. I say that haven't used it nearly 1.5 years now. I wish I had purchased something else. Perhaps at the time of purchase, it was an "ok" camera, but now.. it's behind on so many levels. Even when it first came out, CNet gave it a rather bad review.

If you find it cheap, and don't want to take action shots-- such as someone posing for you (hah!) for 10 seconds or longer, it could work for you. The shutter lag is a huge issue. I can't express this enough. The image quality-- when it actually doesn't blur the photos-- is okay. It's not stellar, not great, but decent. I plan on getting something else in the near future.

Good camera for the price

I owned this camera for about a year. I really had no complaints about the picture quality or the cameras interface, and the video quality was surprisingly good as well. It is a tough little camera(mine was dropped more than a few times with no problems) and the software that was supplied with the camera did it's job. I live in a harsh climate (for digital camera's anyway), very salty and humid, so my did eventually succumb to the brash forces of the climate.

Abysmal picture quality at full resolution

I bought this looking for a cheap camera to put up pictures on the web. 1.3MP (1280x960) should be more than enough for that. However, in 1.3MP mode, this camera takes awful blotchy photos. I suspect this camera's CCD actually uses far less than 1.3MP and interpolates up to that resolution, since the photos this camera takes don't lose any apparent detail when downsampled to 640x480. In fact, I keep mine set at 640x480 all the time, because that's the only way to get decent detail out of it. Bottom line--this is a toy camera.

Flash extremely bright

I've had this camera for several years now, and never really noticed how bright the flash was. Now that I have an infant son I'm realizing. Most of the pictures that I've taken of him with this camera his eyes are shut! Everyone else seems to have normal flashes.

The batteries do run down quickly, and the quality's not great which I don't mind too much. The flash is the reason I want to get rid of this camera now.

Rating :



Decent

This is a decent begginers camera. It has NO optical zoom, only digital and the digital zoom is worthless. It has a really low picture quality, 1.3 MP. I bought this camera for $130 or so dollars a long time ago. It has done a good job for me for a long time but I just bought a new camera to replace it. I don't know about other camera's in this price range but this one is decent. Nice big LCD and easy to use menus.

NOT WHAT EXPECTED

PICTURE QUALITY IS AWFUL. BATTERY RUNS OUT QUICK AND I HAVE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES...TAKES TOO LONG TO TAKE THE PICTURE..KEEPING IN MIND THAT I OWN ANOTHER DIGITAL CAMERAS(KODAK WHICH WAS A GIFT IT IS THE BEST I HAD YET)THIS ONE WAS FOR MY JOB AND ITS JUNK...

Not worth the price...

I bought one of these for myself a while ago - and while Im sure this was a great camera 7 years ago - its just not up to par anymore - Ive also seen the image quality deteriorate in the last few years ive had it - this is in all lighting situations as time moves along the pixels just get bigger and more noticeable.... Id say its realistically a 15 dollar digital camera you pick up at a drug store....thats what its worth.

Samsung has hit it Big with this one!

I've been a Samsung Camera lover for a long time. I began with the Digimax S500, then upgraded to Samsung NV3, and now I recently purchased the Samsung i85. I've tried other cameras like the Sony Cybershot DSC S730, but returned it instantly at poor picture quality and lack of image stabilization (Don't be fooled by the SONY brand name, this camera is not good!). Then I bought an Olympus FE-230, and although the picture quality was great and the camera was slim and lightweight, it was too slow at taking pictures for my taste.

After my failed attempts, I bought the Samsung NV3, which is a perfect camera. It takes great pictures, amazing videos with great sound, and you can even hear MP3s on it. After having a successful buy with the Samsun NV3, I decided to upgrade and immediately fell in love with the Samsung i85. This camera has it all. It takes beautiful pictures both inside and outside. It has many features in which you can tweek your camera into taking great pictures despite the horrid conditions outside.

The face recognition function, image stabilization, and ASR function make this camera perfect for portraits and up close and personal pictures. The pictures are so crisp and clear that it makes the worst looking image look beautiful. Videos turn out nice, with great sound quality; however, it is better to take videos in well lit areas. The World Tour guide function seems to be really cool and educational, but I haven't really messed around with that yet.

Moving on, Samsung's i85 is a great camera for those who want great pictures, and don't want to spend too much on a digital camera. Samsung cameras are also very durable and with the internal zoom, you won't have to worry about messing up the lense. Battery life is very good, but I feel that the NV3 has a longer battery life span. The LCD display screen is huge and great for previewing pictures. I do recommend for those who are purchasing this camera to buy it either in silver or black, as they look nicer with time.

Overall, this is a great camera and you'll definitely be content with your purchase!

Excellent Camera!

I had done some research on various brands (ie, Sony, Canon, Nikon, etc). I used resource such as CNET and other review websites to include reviews from product owners that purchased various on-line stores.

After all that, I found that the Samsung i85 looked like a real gem, especially for the price compared with Sony and similar high-end brands.

What I found is that for a basic point & shoot ultracompact cameras, the Samsung i85 has the best bang for the buck.

At first I was concerned about MegaPixels. Then I discovered that that is just a bunch of hype when dealing with these types of cameras. MPs between 6-10 are actually going to give most people way beyond what they need, because even if you print your pictures, you won't find a lot of quality difference. Those with bloated MegaPixel ratings are for serious photographers that plan on making prints from poster to billboard size. for a simple 4x6 or 8x10, you're not going to see any quality difference.

So that led me to my next question about optics. What I liked about this camera is that it surpassed every other. 5x Optical zoom AND 5x Digital zoom = 25 total zoom! All the other cameras were in the 10 to 15 TOTAL zoom. Samsung i85 wins that category.

I also found that the i85 seemed to have one of the largest internal memories to start...190mb vs 15-32mb for the others I was looking at. Samsung i85 wins that category.

Also uses upto 4GB sdcard. *Make sure that it is a regular sd card, I found that the Ultra Fast cards don't seem to work as well. No problems since going to the regular speed card.

Camera takes photos, video, plays mp3, even has a sports photo feature...great for taking pictures of a golf swing.

Big screen, easy to use buttons.

Overall, I'm really pleased with this camera.

ONLY FLAW that I've discovered so far is that you can inadvertently hit the play button to see your pictures which results in the camera turning on, instead of just using the power button. Not sure if its a setting or something I'm doing wrong.

GREAT BUY! UPDATE!! GO TO SEARS.COM TO GET FOR $129 DEAL!!!

I got this camera (red) as a black friday/cyber monday deal [...] and I am completely impressed about the quality of pictures. I have a [...] kodak and I have been looking for a good point and shoot to replace/supplement it. The screen is big, the lcd screen shows a crisp view of the pic with very clear and deep colors. The extra features are really nice too. I'm still exploring them, but, I heard a song on the mp3 mode, the world map/tour thing is really interesting; gives you attraction sites in multiple places around the world, and the video/movie mode looks really really good too. My requirements for a new camera were, at least a 3" lcd, compact size, and good pics. I also tested a Nikon (s52)which was more expensive, had less features and more importantly the pictures were so grainy compared to this one; it was a huge difference. So huge that I realized what a good deal I had gotten and quickly got back online and ordered another one of these for a gift. I'll update after more experience but, just wanted to let people know this is a very good option.

This is the WORST PRODUCT with the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!! I only gave it one star because I had to, but it does not deserve ANY!!!!! I bought this camera last November and have yet to have a camera that works. I have sent it in FOUR times to be fixed and the last time I sent it in (a month ago) I have STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED IT BACK!!!!! When I asked for a refund, I was refused and they said that they could only send me a black camera (which after a month of waiting they have not sent me). Each time I sent it in to be fixed it was because it stopped taking pictures after recharging the battery. I cannot believe that Samsung has not refunded my money after they convinced me to buy their piece of GARBAGE!!!!!!! How is it that a company can sell a product that doesn't work and not refund your money after a year of CRAPY SERVICE and HEADACHE? I will NEVER buy a Samsung product again!!!!!

Question : cant get sound on video from samsung digital camera?
I have windows vista and put videos on it from my samsung s600 digital camera. The videos play ok, but there is no audio. I know that the samsung software is not compatable with vista, but surely there must be a way to get sound? I am new to all this so its very confusing! Member since: 15 June 2007 Total points: 84 (Level 1) Points earned this week: --% Best answer becccy231278 S Cant get sound on video from samsung digital camera? I have windows vista and put videos on it from my samsung s600 digital camera. The videos play ok, but there is no audio. I know that the samsung software is not compatable with vista, but surely there must be a way to get sound? I am new to all this so its very confusing! Yes there is sound on the camera, and if I send it via e mail, they get sound.

Answer:
Is your camera capable to capture audio? When you play it back in your camera do you hear anything? If so are your speakers turned way down or muted.

 

Question : How do you capture color light with a Samsung S730 digital camera?
I have a samsung s730 7.2 digital camera and I was wondering how to capture a great light scene at night? I know how to use the different modes for different scenes but at night even with right mode the picture comes out blury or too bright with the flash. If i am taking pictures of different color lights such as a blue lighting or red or something how do I capture the color in the picture without it coming out too blury?

Answer:
u need a long exposure, and because of long exposure time you may not move the camera, and do not use flash. You will then get the light from the streets lights or whatever else is around... expect to get diff colors, reds and oranges .... get a tripod, will not be able to hand hold at such long exposure settings d. www.deaftoneimaging.com

 

Question : Where can I find a good repair shop for my new Samsung digital camera in Morocco?
On extended vacation in Casablanca, Morocco. My new Samsung digitial camera I bought in the States has quite working and keeps saying low battery even when new batteries are put in. Also the focus has turned blurry. Cant seem to find anyone to repair or even understand the problem. It cost §80 new US cash to buy a new one here would be close to §200 for the same model, not an option. Any help would be greatly appreciated, a trip with no pictures would be really sad!

Answer:
Forget it, just buy a new camera! That is what being a good little consumer is all about! Buy a$200 camera, In your case get it for $80 in another country and when it breaks its cost $200 to send it to be fixed (not to mention the BS and run around). You see finding a shop that fixes small electronics is impossible, there just is not enough pay on the investment for people to that anymore, you will just have to send it in and deal the inconvenience! Or Buy a new Camera! Things today are designed not to last and be very expensive, sorry!

 

Question : Can i use a 2gb or 4gb memory for the Samsung NV3 digital camera?
The instruction manual says the Samsung camera holds an external memory up to 1GB, what is the maximum it can support.

Answer:
It takes SD cards but not SDHD cards. So a 2GB SD card will work, but not a 2GB or 4GB SDHD card (all bigger capacity cards are SDHD)

 

Question : How do you set the timer on a Samsung D75 digital camera?!?
Hi! I have a samsung D75 digital camera and I always need to use the timer option, but I dont know how to set it up so it works! Please, if you know, tell me how because its driving me mad! Thank you! Have a good day.

Answer:
The round dial on the back of your camera has the self-timer function. It's the icon that looks like a circle or clock. It has a line through it (or the second hand in a clock). While in recording/shooting mode you should be able to press it and it will give you a 2 sec. or 10 sec. timer option. Then just press the shutter button to get the timer started. Alternatively, have a look in pages 8 and, in particular, page 27 of your user manual for help in using the self timer. If you don't have the user manual, you can download it in the link below...

the camera is only 2 weeks old and the make of it is samsung digimax A503 with a 2" lcd screen.

Answer:
fly to japan, have a great time, take an ordinary camera you are sure of. good luck. I hate didgital cameras, they do not photo correctly. If you look close, you will see. Cannot beat an ordinary point and shoot, mind you, you have to have a mind behind the eye.

 

Question : What memory card is needed for a Samsung L200 digital camera?
I have a san disk 256 mg, would that work with a samsung camera?

Answer:
This camera uses an SD memory card, you don't say what type of memory card your San Disk card is so I can't tell you if it will work or not. If it's a small, thin rectangle and says 'SD' on the bottom left then it will work with your camera. If its a square and says 'CF' then it will not work. Hope this helps. Thomas
