I purchased the Samsungcamera about 3 months ago thinking it would be a great camera 2 take along on my vacation 2 Alaska in August. Sure am glad I bought it early! I couldn't afford 2 buy batteries 4 this camera. On several occasions, I only got 6 pictures out of one set of batteries.
I have an older digital, took the batteries out of the Samsung (It indicated they were dead) & used them in the other camera 4 20 more pictures.
I recently bought another camera 2 use on my trip, anyone want 2 buy a SamsungS730? Cheap!!!
Rating: 2 of 5 Great pictures but terrible battery life
I bought this camera 2 use while hiking & otherwise away from a constant supply of batteries. If you buy this camera, you better bring huge supply of batteries with you. For instants, once in a while I would get maybe 20 or so photos before it shut down, sometimes only 3 or 4 & a couple times it would not start up with store fresh Duracells. It always seemed 2 shut down when I needed it the most.
On the positive side the pictures look great, the camera has easy 2 use controls & the supplied Windows software works well. All in all I suggest you look elsewhere 4 a digitalcamera.
Rating: 4 of 5 Good Value 4 money
The camera is sleek, light & easy 2 carry. Zoom is decent & picture quality also good. What surprised me is that I did not expect good night-time pictures with this camera. However, the night-time pictures are great! Great buy 4 less than $100.
Rating: 5 of 5 THE BEST I'VE HAD YET
I LOVE THIS CAMERA! IT HAS SO MANY COOL FEATURES SUCH AS VIDEO AND ULTRA ZOOM. IT'S SO EASY TO USE AND IT'S A VERY GOOD BRAND (SAMSUNG). I HAVE PURCHASED DIGITALCAMERAS IN THE PAST BUT THIS IS THE BEST I'VE HAD YET! TO BE HONEST, THIS IS THE SECOND CAMERA LIKE THIS THAT I HAVE PURCHASED. I LOVED IT SO MUCH, I PURCHASED A DUPLICATE, SAME COLOR, MEMORY CARD, AND ALL! BUY IT...IT'S WELL WORTH IT.
Rating: 4 of 5 My most bought camera
This camera is pretty good 4 any person. I was trying photo art with it & it's not excelent 4 that... but 4 memory photos is great.
I had another like this one but with 6.5 MP, then I bought this one.. then I bouth another one like this 4 a friend. Now i'm saving money 2 buy another one, because a couple of days ago i lost this one i bought :(
I think this is the best option because of the price, & because is a really good product. I love taking pictures, i love images, i love memories, i love visual art.. & this is the perfect tool.
