Samsung L100 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)

I was not happy with this product. The shutter speed is very slow so it took forever 2 capture a shot, & by then the subject had moved. I took about 25 pictures of random things including my cats & the children I work with 2 familiarize myself with the camera. When I turned it on later 2 look through them all the shots had been deleted by the camera. It just was not worth the price!

I bought it 4 my niece. She needed something small, easy 2 use & light 2 carry around. this was the perfect camera. She loves it & now I am the greatest aunt in the world!

My Canon PowerShot S50 developed a twitchy on & off syndrome & finally stopped working altogether while on vacation in Germany so I looked at what I could get 4 about 150 Euros & ended up picking the Samsung L100 with 2 GB RAM. It had image stabilization, more megapixels (8.1) & a percieved quality about it that attracted me, although I didn't know that I could have gotten it 4 much less here. I am embarrassed 2 admit that I had 2 go back 2 the store 4 them 2 show me how 2 use the self timer, because the quick start manual didn't show how & I couldn't figure it out myself. All I had 2 do was 2 press the multi control button right side repeatedly until the timer icon comes up & by pressing the right side of that button repeatedly you select the 2 or 10 second option. Then postion the camera & hit the trigger button & it works fine, with little flashes of light telling you when 2 get ready by increasing in frequency until it shoots a picture. It has a fairly advanced red eye protection system that works well. I am happy I bought it because the other options available were 4 more money or 4 less features at that price. The pictures it takes are very nice.Samsung L100 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
