By automatically adjusting the camera's setting according to the situation, you can be sure of getting great pictures effortlessly.

3 out of 5 stars A Decent Budget Camera   September 4, 2008
David Rice (Wilmington, NC United States)
I purchased a pink Samsung S860 for my mother. She needed a new camera and this model was reasonable for leisure purposes. It has a flashy appearance, compact size, high resolution and basic features as higher priced cameras. The $80 sale price had me sold. Minor issues of concern is the lag time between photos and noise display when zoomed too far.


4 out of 5 stars Great camera for the price!   August 29, 2008
Laura Sullivan (Greensboro, NC)
I chose this camera because I was on a strict budget, but (obviously) looking for the highest quality camera on the market. I've had this Samsung for a few weeks now, and have not been disappointed at all! The photographs are easy to take and come out gorgeous thanks to the 8.1 megapixels. There are also a variety of basic features and settings you can play around with in addition to the automatic one. The lag between the actual taking of a picture and when you can take another one is longer than I had hoped, but not unbearable. That is why I rated it only 4 out of 5 stars. This is a great camera for the price, I would definitely reccomend it for a friend.


4 out of 5 stars NEAT LITTLE CAMERA   August 28, 2008

I bought this camera for my daughter when she went to camp. I didn't want her take the good one, but I did want her to have a camera. The AA batteries meant she didn't have to worry about charging, and taking extra kit. It has good zoom and face recognizing function, takes video and has different image functions. For $90 it was a bargain, I didn't buy the SD card with it though because, it shipped separately and incurred a shipping fee, so we bought that a local electronics store. Haven't seen it at the same price since though.
