Samsung Digimax A402

...I was drawn to the Samsung Digimax initially, I'm rather ashamed to say, by its blushsome tones. Secondly, the exceptionally tasty price tag- only approx £80 in my down-town electrofangle palace. The spec on the display model was succinct: LCD, 4x digital zoom, 2xAA batteries, and focal length 5.8mm. So, it's got the LCD, the zoom and it's cheap enough for my meagre pocket and mother of all bonuses- it's shocking red! Marvellous, since mine was a ...
...wallet…) Once home, package ripped open excitedly like a grandma with her Xmas Liquorice Allsorts, I delved into the box and extracted various bits of paper, warrantees, instructions in various languages and so on. They all very clearly tell you to download the software (from CD) before you do anything else. Rather a boring task, and one which requires a reboot of your PC, but if you can contain your excitement for 10 minutes without exploding, ...

Review of Samsung Digimax A402

...can I say about the Samsung A402....basically, its BRILLIANT!!!!! I've used several different types of camera including rather expensive business cameras and this has got to be one of the best I've tried - especially considering its small size and low price. Anyway, let's go through all its good and bad points shall we…… **Features** - 4.0 megapixels resolution - 1.8" colour screen - 640 x 480 24fps movie capture mode - 16MB internal memory ...
...function - Automatic red-eye reduction - Digital zoom (4x) - Close-up and normal focus mode **What's in the box** - Camera (obviously) - Instruction manual (very comprehensive) - Wrist strap - Windows driver CD for image uploads - USB Connector lead **In-Use** The camera is very light and easy to use. As mentioned above it comes with a very useful wrist strap to stop you from dropping it. This has certainly saved it many times over as ...

Review of Samsung Digimax A402

...items I sell online. This Samsung appearred to fit the bill, and I had been happy with Samsung items previously. I was pleased when the camera arrived due to its small size and ease of use, but was disappointed that it had no lens cover or case, as I'm now a bit nervous of throwing it into my bag. Also, I keep finding extras that I like - such as the ability to take film clips with sound. Anyway, I'll summarise the pros and cons: PROS Small ...
...pc is simple Cheap Good size viewing screen CONS No lens cover or case Pictures can be a bit blurred, especially in dull light Battery drainage (but I believe this is common for all digital cameras) - I have 2 sets of high strength rechargeable batteries which are reserved for my camera The buttons on the camera eg shutter, on/off aren't arranged very well Overall though, I am very pleased with this item. I paid about £90 for it last year, ...

Review of Samsung Digimax A402

Having had one of these great little cameras for just under a year now, I'm happy to say it definitely lived up to it's billing. I paid just over £100 for it in April 2005 and it was worth it at that price, let alone the £75ish you can get it for now! The picture quality is great, provided you use the right settings. For the non-technical minded among you; don't worry, this is very easy. The circular button on the rear lets you shuffle between flash ...
...and time delays for self-portraits, while the dial around the lens switches between normal mode and close-up. Battery life is above average but not brilliant, although I use normal AA batteries when lithium batteries (as recommended by Samsung) lasted much longer when I tried them. They're just very expensive! My main gripe is the lens, in that it has no cover. I tend to put this camera in my pocket or bag, where it knocks against other things; ...

Review of Samsung Digimax A402

I purchased this camera over three months ago and was I impressed.its compact size fitted nicely into my handbag along with all the other stuff(I'm not goin there) and because it was so light I didn't notice my bag being heavier. For such a small camera I was really surprised that it had an 1.8"LCD screen so no having to get my glasses out to see what I had captured.it has a 4X digital zoom but I'm not sure what that is for because all the photo ...
...the usb cable supplied have been really really crisp unlike other smaller pixel cameras I have had in the past. It has a VGA 24fps Movie clip but as of yet I haven't tried that because I have only just got a SD card from E-Bay so that I can store a lot more stuff on.I had the photo setting on the largest size at first but it soon filled up the memory so I suggest you use the next setting the pictures are still lovely and crisp and it's a better ...

Review of Samsung Digimax A402

This is a great camera to take about on a night out, on holiday or just about anywhere. The 4 mp take a good quality photo, its's ideal for someone starting out in digital photography, or like me a student. From taking it nights out Ive found that it DOESN'T break too easily and still works perfectly. Its features are pretty basic but do the job, you are able to look on the neat LCD screen at past photos and they are easily deleted or downloaded ...

Review of Samsung Digimax A402

...complaints i have made about samsung products. Samsung are great at advertising, they are great at designing, and i for one love the look of most of thier mobile phones, cameras tvs etc. A little over a year ago I was in America, this camera had not been out for to long and i loved the design of it and the fact that it was small, the size of it was perfect to jus fit into my hand. I liked the fact that it wasnt just silver like most other cameras ...
...blue, or grey-silver, because it was one of the last in the shop at th time i was left with navy-blue, when the shop assistant first let me have a demonstration on the camera i was very impressed with the picture quaility, its 4 mega pixels a rather average amount. For the first few months i was for ever taking pictures wih friends and then publishing them to my website. After about 4-5 months i was no longer happy with the camera, the screen would ...

Review of Samsung Digimax A402

I purchased my samsung camera over a year ago from a high street store. The price of the camera was one of the lowest on the market at that time for a 4 mega pixel camera. I was impressed by the price. I liked the size of the camera. It was not big and bulky. It was slender and easy to put in your pocket. The zoom was internal . Meaning no lense would zoom away out when taking a close up shot. The camera also comes in a variety of colours. I ...
...are excellent. You can store a lot of photos with the right memory card and also capture mini video moments too. I have had no problems whatsoever with this camera. I love this camera and so will you !! DIGIMAX BY SAMSUNG IS A GOOD QUALITY CAMERA. ...
