I bought this last November. The main reason was because it was on sale but absolutely no regrets. It is a wonderful camera. I had done some research on amazon on one of the top name brands and found that many were displeased with it. Then when I read the reviews on this on, I just had to write a review to complement the already great reviews. The only thing I should stress is that the buyer also buy a pair of rechargable batteries with this. Besides that nothing else for this A material.

This samsung camera is great, the pictures come out excellent; I compared the quality to other cameras and it is by far the best I've seen for such a good price! Also the mini clips are so good, it's like having a video recorder! And the camera is really small in size, that's a plus! I would recommend it to anybody.

i recieved this camera for my birthday. i was very excited to have it. that night i took it with me to take pics of a concert i was at the pics turned out great! i love this camera. the movie option is incredible too. i take this camera everywhere i go. it was easy to use when i got it i didnt even have to read the manual. piece of cake and wonderful camera.

I just received this camera for Christmas and I am very impressed by it. I have a really expensive 35mm camera, and I'm finding this camera to have more features than my 'nice' camera.

I thought this camera took great pictures in the dark. You must be sure you have it set in the right settings, but I took outstanding dark indoor pictures w/ no flash. It has settings for you to adjust the +/- EV lighting to make dark or bright pictures. I like that you can adjust the shutter speed, record sound, and video. You can also adjust the primary colors to fade florescent lighting or to bring out the colors in a blue sky day. I can't wait to take some slow motion pictures of streams.

The quality is more than enough for your 4x6in. pictures. I had to downsize the quality for people pictures, because my computer is too slow to handle such big pictures. I can only imagine how well really good photography pictures will come out.

The camera is very light and you will want rechargeable batteries. I look forward to years of pictures with this little camera!

Complaints:
1. Don't buy this camera if you take mostly indoor pictures! - dim pictures-regardless of the settings. We have compared this Camera to three other digital cameras for indoor pictures - it's not very good under average to poor lighting conditions. On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 highest) - I rate camera about a 3 or 4 for indoor use. We are returning the camera for a refund because of this problem.
2 The Digimax 430 takes only two AA batteries, when it should probably have been designed to take 4 AA batteries - so the battery life is rather short (particularly in video mode) We were using only the regular 'Duracell' Alkaline batterys for all out photo tests - So you may be able to do better with a longer lasting type.

Good Points:
In all fairness, the outdoor shots were very good - stills & video.
The craftsmanship and design of the camera body is very good.
The optical zoom worked well and was clear and in focus.
The video mode worked real good - but did drain the batteries a bit faster.
The sound and mike pickup was remarkably good(using video) for such a small camera.
The Menu and controls are easy to use and well thought out.
The Camera case is nice and also has some soft padding.
The packing, manual, software and cables were satisfactory.(Separate manuals, one in English, other foreign)

Summery:
Good for outside pictures and video - nice design, very small size - not the best for indoor use.

I got this cam this weekend
the pic is good, except one thing
the tint is a little bit blueish
with flash, the pic looks normal
I suggest to use "scene" and "dusk" for indoors, which can fix the blueish problem
the size is small, SD support that I can review the pics directly from my RX3115
the pic is great outdoors, however
the cam is pretty power-hungry, with 2400mA/h batteries, I can take about 20-30 pics with flash, buying at least 4ea 2000mA/h (or higher) Ni-MH batteries is recommended

I got this cam this weekend
the pic is good, except one thing
the tint is a little bit blueish
with flash, the pic looks normal
after a while to tweak the cam, found using manual mode, and fine tune to get more ideal effect
on white balance part (use manual mode, then press +/- button to AWB mode, then use d-pad to change), change it to sun or high-lighting (the 2nd or 4th), then the pic is more natural, no more blueish
on video recording, it don't work well under dark enviornment, the quality is OK, not better than DV (it's avi format)
here is my suggestion on using this cam
default mode works better outdoors or with flash; using manual mode, with instruction stated above to get more natural pic
use 2000mA/h or higher Ni-MH battery, or rechargable CR-V3 battery (it can take 50+ pics without flash)
avoid dark enviornment when taking video, and the video player must support DIVX
buy 256MB or higher SD or MS DUO card (this cam supports 1GB SD card, at least with Lexar 32x)
use "point-shift-fire" trick to get more optimized brightness

after manually configured the cam, I am more satisfied with this cam, at least for the price, this cam is more configureable under manual mode

This camera was given to my husband and I as a gift about 2 years ago now (Dec. 2005). This thing has a battery life of zero. From day one, we could only take 6 or 7 photos before the camera died and the batteries had to be replaced (we always use premium alkalines). The recharger that came with it was no help - recharged batteries don't work. My mother-in-law also received the camera then and hers has the same problem. As far as I'm concerned, the picture quality doesn't matter -- I can't use this camera without bringing a stack of batteries with me. Totally worthless.

I got this camera as an anniversary gift from my boyfriend. It was affordable, and it looks very modern and sleek. I dont have any problems with taking indoor or outdoor pictures, and it gives a healthy glow to the picture that makes skin, fur, or anything with texture look beautiful. Great for a first camera cause its not hard to use, and doesn't have as many buttons as other cameras but still takes good quality pictures. With most un generic brands of batteries, it takes pictures for a good 4-8 hours.
