Advantages: VERY easy to use Disadvantages: Goes through batteries really quickly
This camera is spectacular! I've played with a few digital cameras but as this is my first digital camera that i've owned, I've found this soooooooooo easy to use!
Within minutes of opening the box, I was using the camera to its full advantage. It's as simple as press the on button, make sure you're on take pictures mode and look through the viewfinder. if you wanna see the picture just press the screen button. Then....point and press the button ... ...about 16mb i think but unless you're a professional, you're not really going to be using high quality and all 4.0 mega pixels so you've got pleanty of room for pictures. The normal quality is excellent enough! (If you're going on holiday though I would recommend the memory card add-on incase you do run out). The screen is about 3cm x 2.5cm and is a really useful picture as no matter how good a camera you use, if you start laughing you'll end up with ...

Advantages: Virtually all the features of the V4 Disadvantages: Its cheaper the the V4
Bought as a Christmas for my wife, it had to meet the following criteria:-
Light and compact ( to fit in small handbag), simple and easy to use, good quality pictures.
She opened the box, inserted the batteries, switched it on and after a few seconds a little tune indicated it was ready to use. Using the little built in screen (on the back) she framed a shot and pushed the button. Wait 2 seconds and it's there to review.
No reading the instruction ... ...Good picture. Scroll through menu, switch on flash and point and click again for an even better picture.
If she can do it so can you. Brilliant value 4 mega pixel digital camera with optical (x3) and digital (x4) zoom. We added a 128mb SD card to supplement the 16mb built in.
For New Year we went to a disco party where she shot a 30 second clip with sound in dark conditions - and it was all viewable, and the sound quality is good.
It comes with ...

Advantages: Easy to use, menus straight-forward and simple, PC software and downloading easy. Quality of photo superb in good lighting conditions. Disadvantages: More than one to just state
The Samsung Digimax 420 is a sleek looking and light weight 4 megapixel camera that certainly looks the part. It has a 1.5inch LCD display, a 3x Optical Zoom and 4 x digital zoom and is powered by either 2 AA batteries, a Lithium-ion battery or even an AC Adapter. All images are displayed on a colour TFT LCD screen and stored on the camera's 16Mb internal memory, which can be upgraded using SD cards (not included). Both still images and movie clips ... ...how much memory is available. I bought this camera around the first week of December and for a 4 mega pixel camera, I thought the price was fabulous. Its was my first digital camera so I was understandably excited. The screen is sharp and detailed, and the menus are easily accessible and understand. It took me minutes to learn the controls.
Coming to the quality of the pictures (which was where my hopes where), my first impression was the picture ...

Advantages: Compact, many features, easy to use Disadvantages: A little heavy on battery use
This is my first digital camera, so my choice was based mainly to have as many pixels as possible, be a compact size, a recognised name and all at an affordable price.
I compared the 420 with others in the same price and pixel range and found this to be on top against other well known names.
My main reason for this purchase was to be able to have the option to store my photos on the computer, print what I felt were worth a hard copy, e-mail photos ...
