...Why did I choose the Samsung Digimax 301 in particular: I wish I could say it was because I am very knowledgeable about cameras and photography in general, had done lots of research, read other reviews on Ciao and came to an informed choice. Sorry to disappoint the purists, but I bought the Digimax 301 purely by chance. I happened upon a special offer on the Boots.com website and saw they were selling this camera for £64.99 instead of the usual £99.99! ... ...‘photo and details of the Samsung 301 up on screen. “Hmm..” he nodded, wisely. “It’s got 3.2 mega pixels, that’s a great bargain, go for it!” So I did.
24 hours later I was the proud owner of a very nice camera.
First impressions:
The metal casing is silver in colour, the camera measures 98 x 51 x 38mm and weighs 122g (without batteries and card). It has an LCD colour monitor of 1.6” of a fixed focus type with two steps manual adjustment. There ...

Advantages: Ease of use Disadvantages: Battery Drain
I recently purchased a Samsung Digimax 301 for the bargain price of £75 including an SD card, and WHAT A FLIPPIN BARGAIN!!
The 3 million pixels really do provide excellent picture quality and the LCD screen is compact yet large enough to fulfil it's functions and the information it displays is simple to understand. It has a built in memory of 16MB
Ease of Use
In a Nutshell - Simple, if I can work out how to use it anyone can.
The main functions ... ...which can be chosen:
Still image mode
MySet Mode - this allows you to save settings for future use Voice Recording mode Movie clip mode - the allowed depends on amount of memory available
Photo frame mode - allows you to add borders to your images and save it
Night scene mode - just as it says on the tin ideal for nighttime pics or when the subject is against a dark background.
What's in the box?
Well apart obviously from the camera!!, you ...

Advantages: Great pictures ,makes quality photos Disadvantages: none
Woke up one morning thought i haven't got a camera to take photos on my holiday.
So of i went and bought a digital camera (SAMSUNG digmax301),one which takes good quality pictures, and this one did.

£69.99 @ COMET ...

Advantages: not many; easy to use, compact Disadvantages: picture quality not that good, no optical zoom
I bought this camera because it guaranteed ease of use and also, as I was buying it as my first digital camera, it also guaranteed to get-used-to-quick. Yes it is easy to use and also the photo quality is good, I suggest that if you are looking for a camera that offers good quality then I suggest look somewhere else. This camera has no optical zoom and thus, the lens can not be adjusted to take pictures that are further away. Also, the built in zooming ...
