Advantages: Low price for high quality and capabilities. Disadvantages: Too big for shirt pocket.
I have built a small but representative collection of these P&S cameras because they can be had for peanuts these days. This little beauty has all the rest beat, and the others like Nikon, Pentax, Canon are good, but not as good as the Samsung.
The Schneider lens needs no introduction, I have been using this glass in various cameras for the past half century, and it is IMHO at least the equal of other much more expensive lenses. This camera is just about perfect in every possible way, it powers up rapidly so you don't miss these elusive and rare opportunities to capture memorable images which will always be in focus and perfectly exposed. The design of the camera is also well thought out so it looks and feels good in the hand.
If Samsung had been competing with the German cameras 50 years ago, the whole photographic market might have ...
Advantages: Cheaper than digital Disadvantages: processing costs
Now is an ideal time to purchase a 35mm SLR camera, there are several reasons for this.
The first is many people are moving over to the digital format so they are selling off their old equipment. This means that it should be available more cheaply than it would have originaly sold at.
Some shops are also selling off their old stock to make way for the digital stock. If you want to digitise your results you can still do so. This is done either by scanning the finished prints into the computer and saving it in a digital form or asking for the film to be developed and stored on a CD ROM or DVD.
Also buying a 35mm means that you can perfect the art of photography by doing all the settings yourself and learning the true art of photography.
When buying the camera you have choices to make such as do you want a manual or auto ...

My partner (who is a camera buff) gave me this camera as a present. I, on the other hand, have never owned a camera. I have found this camera a real gem to own. Despite being a complete novice, all of my photos have been perfectly exposed, focussed without red eye. I have found it very rewarding as I didn't have to spend hours reading the manual and working out how to get a decent photo!
My partner chose this camera, not as the cheapest, (you have been warned!) but because he swears by Nikon, in particular their lenses, as well as the useful features such as auto focus and the ease of use. He knew my patience would not last long with a complicated piece of equipment!!
He believes it was well worth its money and has been impressed by the results - so much so I am having to keep a hold of the (very long) cord to make sure he doesn ...
