good but one serious flaw

I'm pleased with the quality of the pictures but the shutter speed is very slow, as is the startup time of the camera, the time between shots and the zoom. I realy miss a lot of nice pictures of my kids because they just don't hang around in the sme position for the minute or two it takes me to open the case and zoom.

Easy to learn, easier to use. Great camera for little money

Prior to buying this camera, I had a Kodak DC215, a SanDisk Reader for downloading the CF card to my computer. The Kodak was 1.3 megapixels and since I do a lot of landscape painting, it just wasn't giving me the details I needed. I decided I wanted a 3 megapixel camera. Then I saw the prices, and started shopping for a 2 meg. While Target had this on sale for $.... I went for it. I have printed out 4 x 6 prints that look like they were developed in a photo place. Ease of settings impressed me along with the choices I had for taking the pictures. The software that comes along with the camera is pretty good also. I already had it on my computer. I've used the camera in many settings, candid, portraits, landscapes and have been very pleased. Battery life seems pretty good. To take my shots I've been using the LCD screen and no problems. Only recently I had to use the viewfinder because the LCD screen will black out on a bright day. Even the viewfinder gave me the shots I was looking for. If you are looking for the action shots, why not try the 10 continuous shot mode that the camera provides? Any way I look at it, I think it's a great camera.

Suppose it was Just a Bad Experience

I was very excited about recieving my first digital camera since I have been shooting 35mm forever. This wasn't too bad of a camera, but after about 3 months, the switch that powered the camera on had broke. I had never dropped it or mistreated it--it was just one day I went to use it and it wouldn't turn on. I called Samsung to see if they could replace it, and they gave me a difficult time and said no. So I took it other places and no one could figure out why the camera wouldn't turn on.

From the time that I had to play with it, it was a decent camera that was extremely easy to use. However, it sacrificed its quality, as many times I found it hard to adjust the speed properly, so I got a lot of blurry pictures. Granted that I had a large memory card, it would seem simple to say that I could just take the picture over and try again. But as anyone knows, there are some moments that just happen once and that you can never see again with the same effect.

After getting a new camera, I found that the lens on my new camera was much better and that the body was much more durable. So since my bad experience with Samsung, I do not recommend it to anyone.

A Great Camera

I purchased this camera and was impressed with the size - functions - and ability of this camera. I read the book and started taking pictures immediately with no problems what so ever. The audio feature with still prints is FANTASTIC. The night mode is incredible also. I wish I had had this camera at Christmas because it takes GREAT night shots even on a low resolution. I would highly recommed this camera.

good enough for everyday use

I didn't like this when my dad bought me without asking my opinion because it doesn't look cool.. (I needed to show off to my friends)
While using it for six months, I started to like this camera for its features and pics' clear color.
Night shot mode makes picture like professional shot.
and I could also send my sister's movie clip to my dad by e-mail.
You can also put 10 shot mode which will take 10 high detailed picture continuously. I prefer 3 shot mode for perfect pose. (in case people close their eyes or red eyes.. or..so..)
Its case is not just cloth made scratch proof one but its very strong that even if you drop it, camera will hardly damaged.

I hope samsung makes it little more cool looking one next time.

Editorial Review :

With its extensive configuration, high resolution and the compact Design the Digimax 210SE is the photographic instrument of the future, a digital camera, which leaves hardly any desires unsatisfied. The 1.8 inch LCD color monitor on the rear side of the Digimax 210SE does not only serve as menu window for the picture administration on the memory card, but can with unfavorable lighting conditions serve as a back-up for the optical viewfinder. The selection wheel on the top side of the Digimax 210SE enables not only a remarkably comfortable operation of the camera, but guarantees to that that one can change its position within seconds without annoying pauses between the different functions. The objective of the Digimax 210SE is a three-fold zoom shot with a focal length range from 5, 8 , 17.4 mm. This corresponds with 35mm cameras to a focal length range from 38 , 115mm. that enables the digital two-fold zoom to double the focal length. The small window on the top of a camera informs about the available capacity on the memory card. If the card is full, one exchanges it in few seconds or downloads the image files on a computer.

Good (not great) camera for the money

Camera takes decent pictures, certainly good enough for web sites and general photography, but you wouldn't mistake the images as something from a professional camera (and at this price, you really wouldn't expect to).

What I really like about this camera is the service. I just sent the camera in to fix a problem with the flash and mode selector wheel. A new reconditioned camera was received only 2 weeks after it was sent in.

Not worth the money

I just started my gift basket business and thought this would be a great way to 1. save money 2. save time. I spent more time fixing my pictures than anything. Now I find out my flash is broken, and the bad flash may have caused the darkeness in my pictures. I take pictures of my baskets before I sell them, and when they're gone I can't get them back to take another picture. I am now in search for a better camera. I don't know why I'll never learn that you get what you pay for.

lasted 4hrs

I have used a few digi cams the kodak easyshare dx3600, nikon coolpix775, both of wich had good image quality , and sony I wanted my own istead of using everyone elses what I realy wanted was the nikon it took the best but I decided to save the money and get the samsung thinking becouse it was 2megapic it would be ok. Not even close, taking a picture wasnt easy as the camera was not quick enough I missed everything that I took, the lcd viewer was so dark I tried using it then gave up,it had some good options but no explanation as how to or when it would be best to use them, not only that but since the view finder was so awfull it was hard to read the options and change them. Then came time for me to transfer them to my computer they looked awfull the worst I had ever seen you could sea every block the color was poor and dark just hidius I wouldnt even take it a step further to print it why bother I knew this camera was junk and returned it 4 hrs after buying it. for the money I sugest the kodak for the same price much better picture and the instructions are great or go up 50 bucks or so and get the nikon even better just dont buy the samsung

Not happy

This is the first time I have ever bothered to write a review although I feel that it is necessary to save other people some grief. I got this camera for 1/2 off at a going out of business sale and I regret even that! One reviewer had said that the lag time is awful. I couldn't agree more! We took it whale watching on our vacation to Boston. I now have pleanty of dark pictures of the very end of the whale and also many of the water splash the whales leave. What a let down!

Good camera but could be better.

This is my first digital camera and I have been fairly satisfied with it. Generally, I agree with the previous reviews. Overall, it is a good camera and the price was just right - especially with the mail-in rebate! My research, including these reviews, concludes that this camera is of generally good quality and comparable to many similar cameras.

Pictures have been very good quality with any of the settings. Menus allow some adjustments and the usual camera settings. Not too complicated but very useful. But images are often brighter in the camera's ccd display than when viewed on the computer screen. Haven't experienced poor image quality problems thus far. They look great on the computer screen. Print outs look quite good as well. That has as much to do with your printer as your camera.

The movie option is great fun. Only I wish it could record longer movies. Disappointed by the lack of a sound option. Of course, it is not a video camera so don't expect much. Yet has been great fun for computer viewing and might even try sending via e-mail and sharing on family website.

The camera's two biggest problems are: it uses up batteries much too quickly, and images tend to be too dark when taken in low light conditions.

Again, these are problems typical of these cameras. But they can be acceptable considering other things such as cost. Certainly, an AC adapter saves batteries during image downloads (and handy when taking pictures) and is available at the usual places. Odd that Samsung doesn't offer an adapter or recharger kit. Get the best batteries you can find and keep an extra set handy. Adobe's PhotoDeluxe software provided with the camera is simple and great. I'll not bother to use my other photo editing software. Even so, it would become quite tedious to 'fix' every dark pic captured inside at, say, someone's birthday party. I think I can live with this problem, for now.

Also, buying additional memory cards is a big plus. I am considering 64 or 128 mega pixel Sandisk cards. Price is reasonable, so why not have the added flexibility?

Recommendation: worth buying if it suits your digital camera needs and expectations. could make for a good beginner digital camera.

Great Value for the $$

I've had my camera for about a year now and I have absolutely zero complaints. Its stylish, compact, easy to load batteries, and of course- takes great quality pictures. I'm not too much of a techie, so I don't speak megapixels and optics, but take my word for it, it works great!

Awesome camera for the beginner who wants it all

This was my first digital camera, I've had it for a year, and I still love it (although I am upgrading to a camera with an underwater accessory case). I wanted a camera with high MP and zoom capability, video with sound was a must, and the price had to be low! I love the picture quality, I have never taken a picture that I didn't like, although the picture will be fuzzy if you move or have a shaky hand (I still like those ones anyway. Artsy, no?). The rotary knob selection is awesome! The interface is very user friendly, even my stone age parents were able to navigate this camera (trust me, that's an amazing feat!). So, I will give it to them when I upgrade. The video feature is awesome, I used it to document my life and paste it on myspace, but the microphone is located right where you would place your left pointer finger when holding the camera - so keep your finger off it when filming or else your sound will get messed up! As Adam said, sometimes the battery beep likes to play tricks on you! It has happened to me three times and it can be very frustrating!! Especially with an impromptu shot! I always carry extra batteries and I only use rechargeable batteries (I buy the cheaper ones), they're a little pricy but they save you SO MUCH MONEY! I have never had any other problems with this camera. This camera is definitely not for the pros, it's for every day use and people who don't know how amazing a picture can be or don't want to pay for a camera with that kind of capability. I threw a silicone skin on it, tossed it, dropped it, and shoved it in every pocket, purse and backpack that I have ...It was my little buddy for a year and I loved it!

P.S. I highly recommend silicone skins and screen protectors for cameras!! My camera hasn't a scratch on it.

Great Buy

I purchased for my boyfriend last year for Christmas and it's still working.
The camera is nice and small, nothing fancy but it's a good product.
I would make sure to purchased rechargeable batteries as you can go through regular batteries in 1 day. Also get an sd card for it to store your pictures.

Great camera for the price

This camera is excellent. It is the 3rd digital I've owned and I've enjoyed it very much. It's compact and full of features. You MUST, however, use super alkeline batteries because it eats the normal ones up fast. The batteries made for digital cameras do much better and are worth the price. The camera has a video feature that outshines any other camera I've seen on the market. I would highly recommend this product as a good value for little money you pay for it
