Samsung S1050 Black Digital Camera

RAD CAMERA

Strengths: CRISP , STUDIO QUALITY PICS- CAPTURED DROPS OF WATER FROM BABY BATHTIME --LOOKS LIKE LITTLE DIAMONDS- INCREDIBLE! TAKEN OVER 2,000 PIC ALL great

Weakness: EATS BATTERIES- USE LITHIUM BATTERIES. VIDEO NOT SO HOT.

I LOVE THAT YOU CAN ZOOM/CROP UP TO 14 X AN ALREADY TAKEN PIC ("TRIMMING" ON CAMERA) AND - YOU CAN RETAIN THE ORIGINAL SHOT TOO. MAKES FOR INCREDIBLE CLOSEUPS!! SEE STRENGTHS ABOVE.
BRILLIANT CAMERA WORTH EVERY CENT.
FLASH IS ALWAYS BEST EVEN IN A WELL LIT HOME

ENJOY!

Beter cousin of S1000

Strengths: Big LCD display, fast powering-up, 5x optical zoom

Weakness: No visor, e.g. shorter battery life,picture quality with high ISO

This budget camera is to replace my pocket S1000 (also Samsung 10 MP camera). It has a more powerful optical zoom (5x vs most common 3x). I would prefer also it to have an option to disable digtal zoom which I always disable on all digital cameras. I agree,that stabilization is useless - it is just increases ISO at the expense of severe granulation of image. In the daylight and decent internal...

Menu is friendly and setup is very intuitive.

Top value at the price

Strengths: The camera feels solid and-well made and is comfortable in the hand, The large 3" LCD takes up most of the back of the camera. The 5x optical zoom is more useful than the usual 3x.

Weakness: The auto shake reduction is not a true anti-shake system. It merely increases the ISO and hence shutter speed automatically, resulting in higher noise.

An excellent camera that takes quality pictures. It is not really tiny or especially light but it is particularly good value for money. I would recommend this product to anyone.

Samsung S1050 Perfect P&S Camera

Strengths: Nice body, Big LCD, 5x optical zoom, excellent macro

Weakness: no optical view finder

Samsung S1050 is a point and shot camera with 10 megapixels and 5x optical zoom. This size is perfect for me to carry it all the time and get it to take a photo anytime and anywhere. The picture taken from this camera is wonderful. The movie clip captures at high resolution upto 800x592 and quality is good too.

Samsung S1050 is a point and shot camera with 10 megapixels and 5x optical zoom. This size is perfect for me to carry it all the time and get it to take a photo anytime and anywhere. The picture taken from this camera is wonderful. The movie clip captures at high resolution upto 800x592 and quality is good too. The nice function is the instant playback that can view photo even when the power is off. I used 2x AA rechargeable 2650 mAh and this camera can take a photo up to 169 pictures with preview after shot and 20% of using flash. This is enough to use for one day long. Overall, perfect camera for everyone.

camera for everybody

Strengths: 3.0" LCD, full on-board setting display

Weakness: navigation through menus

images taken are very sharp under limited lighting environment without the need for further setting; decent battery life; it would be a bonus if samsung ships with the AC cable included
