Editorial Review :

The Samsung S860 is a high-resolution digital camera that is equipped with a true-color filtered 8.1-Megapixel CCD. This allows the Samsung S860 to take detailed photos for printing up to poster size. With the Face Detection AF & AE function, the Samsung S860 enables the user to take better portrait pictures more easily. This function detects faces and automatically focuses on them. The brightness of the faces is adjusted optimally for beautiful portrait pictures. In macro shooting, it is now possible to take clear, natural pictures. Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and color, which is sometimes found in flash photography. With DIS the effects of image blur are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even take well-exposed, sharper pictures in low light conditions without using a flash at all, which guarantees brighter and more natural pictures. The different icons, scene modes and other features are described in simple and easy to understand terms to improve the interaction between the user and camera.

Amazing Camera

I LOVE this camera. I have had it now for about 2 or 3 years. It has held up amazingly. That poor camera has been dropped, gotten wet, banged around in my purse(with no case) and still takes pictures as good as the day I got it. The price was very affordable. I would recomend camera to anyone.

Pretty Good, Some Issues

I purchased this at walmart two years ago. All in all it was an alright camera, but I had some problems with it.

Pros:
-I liked how you could choose to take pictures in different hues such as black and white, sepia, blue, red, and green.
- The camera is small, so it fits just about anywhere.
- The colors ( I have black) are nice, I would have chosen red, but they were out of stock.
-The price is good. It was about $99.00 when I purchased it, and I'm sure it has gone down since then.

Cons:
-The zoom goes up to 5.0, which is alright, but most of the pictures I took with zoom came out very blurry, and even with extra editing they were still a little unclear.
- Maybe it's just the color, but the black seemed to have rubbed off in places, and left white smudges. I tried to color over with them with permanent marker, but it wiped off after a few days.
- If you get this camera I suggest you buy a set of rechargeable batteries. The camera sucks regular one-time use batteries dry, and it was annoying to keep buying more batteries after a short period of time.

All in all it was an alright camera, but not the best.

Terrible Image quality, don't be fooled

What a disappointment.

First, I'll note that the 8 megapixel version of this camera is selling for $129 on amazon as I write this.. and I wouldn't buy that one either, though it looks like the same camera with an upgraded chip... then again, it could be worse since their Megapixel ratings are misleading at best.

I felt samsung was probably a decent brand based on some of their other kinds of products, but no. I've had a lot of experience with photography over the years, am no amateur, but was looking for a competent, inexpensive snapshot camera which used SD cards and AA batteries, and in a pinch would take video at a decent resolution.

This ain't it, but I'm stuck with it.

The worst thing is that even though rated at 7.2 megapixels, its images are MUCH worse than the 3.2mp olympus I had previously. Even at the highest quality image settings you can see the grainy color pixelation artifacts even on the 2.4" screen of the camera!

The audio drops out unpredictably during the shooting of video, and the video itself is choppy, poor quality, and eats memory since it's MPEG2. Useless, and looks much worse than MPEG4 somehow.

And it wouldn't format the SD card I initially bought. A call to Samsung tech support gave me the news that they only guarantee it to work AT ALL with sandisk brand memory cards, so I had to eat the price of the card I had and order an expensive sandisk card.

The screen is viewable, and based on that I'd say the camera is worth about $30, but to a kid, not to anyone who wants to seriously save their pictures.

This was obviously designed from the ground up as a camera meant to sell for a tiny fraction of its fictitious "retail price", and I assume that's the case with the 800 model too. Beware.

Works fine for me

I use Duracell's Rechargeable 2650 mAh batteries with this camera and it works GREAT! It lasts about 500 pictures or so. I recommend the Powerex MH-C204W Worldwide 1-hr Conditioning Travel Charger for high mAh batteries b/c you can condition and rejuvenate the batteries after a number of charges. It also subjects aged batteries to a conditioning algorithm that first fully drains the batteries and then recharges them so that it'll perform as if new.

Anyhow, this camera is wonderful: 7.2 mp is plenty enough for me - I don't take pictures worth selling so the resolution is perfect for everyday memories. I love the macro feature for close-up photos and the auto focus feature (lightly tapping the snap button once before pressing it again to take the photo) is really helpful. I also use this for my real estate agent's listing pictures and it does very well indoors or a cloudy day. I think Samsung could do better with the video capturing however. The sound was choppy and skips if you zoom in/out while recording. But oh well, I think a camcorder should be its separate entity anyway. It's fairly light - the batteries make up most of it's weight. Transfering photos onto my computer is simple, fast and easy. I have a perfect pre-cut screen protector on it so no worries there. It didn't come with a case but I got a cheap, perfect-fit Case Logic case at Target for $3.99 w/a hidden slot for extra batteries and it fits in my coat pocket.

Great 7mp camera

The images from this camera are great.
It is small and lightweight and easily fits in a pocket.
Many editing features
Full movie mode with audio

Many custom scene modes


Cons:
Definitely use nimh batteries with this - they will last a long time if you do - do not use alkaline with them.
No image stabilization but for this price it is still a great deal.

MUCH better than given credit for!

This is a very solid camera for the price. I have taken some pretty excellent pictures, including some that I have blown up to 16 X 20. This camera gives more manual freedom than nearly any other in its class, it takes good pictures in the auto mode as well.

For the money, this is an excellent camera.

Samsung Digimax NV3 7MP Digital Camera with 3x Advance Shake Reduction Optical Zoom (Silver)

Customer Review :

Awesome

I travel a lot so this camera is perfect for me. Awesome camera! Mine was stolen recently so I'm buying another one of the same kind because this is such a good camera! Compact size is great for travel and still takes fantastic pictures! Even has a micro lens feature that can take pictures of the smallest bugs. I use the MP3 player feature on long plane flights. Battery lasts a really long time. The only problem I experienced with the camera was when the lens cover wouldn't close. I could of sent it in, but I realized that it was some little particle blocking the cover. So I blew into the lens and voila! It closed. Also, like all Samsung products, the interface is very user friendly. Highly recommended!

A multimedia camera that does just about everything well, that seems to have never caught on...

I gave this camera to my daughter and watched her have her creative adventures with it until she lost it. I really think one of her acquaintances stole it. I then bought the NV4, which is essentially the same camera with a little higher resolution. This is a lot like an iPod that takes pics and videos. A way cool camera that I think Samsung has discontinued...

Samsung has unveiled its new ultra-compact U-CA505 - a camera that packs impressive features under its deceptively slender body.Small enough to fit into your pocket, the U-CA505 is powerful enough to satisfy the needs of most photographers.

Don't Waste Your Time

I bought this camera 8 months ago when my Kodak EasyShare died three days after my first child was born. For $100 I figured I couldn't really go wrong. Oh, but was I was ever.

Others have mentioned the battery issue. The Duracell it comes with died in a matter of four hours. I had two options, scour my hometown for the $20 replacement or drop $60 on a rechargable.

At first it seemed like a great product, sleek design, tiny enough to slide into a jeans pocket, huge screen... I was in camera heaven until I really began to notice how the photos were turning out. The color/lighting balance on this little monstrosity is lacking at best. It hates indoor photos with a seething passion (regardless of how I set the different functions and sensitivities) and the only way you're going to get that perfect shot is if you have unyielding patience and TONS of bright, perfect lighting.

Having years and years of both traditional and digital photography experience, I can tell you with utmost assuredness that I wasn't doing anything wrong (that I could tell.)

The camera is very slow and the shutter speed is even worse. Don't for a moment expect to be able to take a crisp photo with the flash off. I've had endless frustration with this camera's quality and was especially shocked to realize my cheap Kodak was amazing comparatively.

Today, nine months after purchase, the focus died. Now the camera turns on, but when you attempt to depress the shutter to bring your image into focus, it just makes a horrible grinding noise. The mechanism is obviously bust, but I can't say I'm disappointed. It gives me an excuse to buy myself a nice new one... Maybe another Kodak, I'm thinking ;)

Battery problem

I can't really say much about the picture quality because once the battery runs out you're in trouble. Theyr'e very hard to find, very expensive, and don't last very long. If you buy this camera, consider the nessecity of paying $70 for the also hard to find rechargeable battery. (Seriously, samsung should refund everyone who bought this since you can't use it.)

Great camera with many features

I recently purchased this camera and a fuji NP-60 charger and battery for the camera that interchanges with the Samsung camera. The camera's LCD can be viewed very clearly when held at the right angle. The camera has so many features that it will take some time just for me to learn all of them. The camera has: 5x digital zoom, 2sec,10sec and double self timer, voice memo recording with photo, movie clip recording with sound, still image photo mode, self portrait mirror to take your own photo, 9 photo frames to insert photos , day, night, cloudy, exposure compensation, sharpness and image quality adjustments, photo rotator, copy to SD card, and many other features. It is small enough to carry in your pocket, or on your belt with the pouch provided. I am very satisfied with the camera after previously owning an HP digital camera.

Hate it!

I hate this Camera. It's never worked quite right since day one. It's impossible to get a good shot because it's so slow.You can not use the zoom feature. The pictures come out soo blurry. Cropping is a joke. The screen locks up when scrolling through pictures. I have a $15 fuji that takes better shots than this one. If this was a $20 camera I would probably rate it higher. No way is it worth more than that.
