Advantages: Price, SD Card comatability, Ease of use. Disadvantages: Looks.
...Sony cybershot 7.0, or the Samsung A6.
Eventually it was the budget that decided, and I bought my A6 for £145 with 50 free digital prints from a local store, At the same time i bought some rather expensive recharable batteries+charger and a 512Mb SD card.
Took it home, out of the box, inserted batteries.... Took a few good pics... read manual... took better pics.
The manual is very well set out, with a few hints for us amateurs. 120 pages of instructions, ... ...feature that really impressed was the 'macro' function, used for taking pics of things VERY close. The detail captured was excellent far better than i expected.
So while the camera may not have the rep of sony's powerhouses the Samsung is an excellent piece of kit for the money. ...

Advantages: A Very good and easy to use camera with some great advanced features Disadvantages: Battery Life a bit short, Use rechargables !
We were looking for a camera to enable us to take pictures of current stock for our website, Of our son and of our travels. Therefore we required something that was easy to use ( my partner being not having a good grasp of technology BLESS)! Lightweight and not bulky something I can have in my pocket without looking too pleased to see ya ! I was always one for sony products and we were aiming to get a cybershot but decided that with our price range ... ...it had £50 of at the time. Picture quality is great as you would expect from a 6.0 camera and an A3 picture of our son at test was still very clear with a small loss of quality ( but hey its A3 size what do you expect ) ! The various settings allow you to customise your everyshot from extreme close ups to snow / beach / night / moving and more so your picture looks as great as it does in real life. Self timer function works great as does the voice ...

Quick review of Samsung Digimax A6
Excellent picture quality - but the battery power thing really is a let down - even the rechargeables are drained fairly quickly. A bit bulky, but has a lot of compensating features (sound recording etc)... ...

A nice tidy camera with a lot of pixels,allowing good size enlargements.I am not an expert but the range of modes and features seems adequate.Being used to larger 35mm slrs, i found it "fiddly to handle but repeated use will probably solve that problem.As a "pocket" camera i found that the camera seemed a little bulky.To a non-expert the pictures look adequate and to some extent can be manipulated on the camera.The built-in flash is useful .The camera ... ...on battery life.I transfer the pictures to my pc via a card-reader which helps the battery life.You will appreciate that this is a non-technical review.Overall, as a non-expert i find the A6 to be great for snapping but you would need something more for any moderately serious work.As always, do research the price before buying. ...

...tripod) I like the way samsung have changed the tripod screw in bit from plastic (on my old 3 million pixel samsung) for a metel screw in piece this is a lot stronger for heavy handed people like myself - I find useing 2 aa size batteries rechargable at 2100 mah gives me over a hundred photo's easily even with the back picture screen on and at the price (got mine reduced at argos) is a lot of camera for the money, I had my last camera for 2 years ...
