Using Samsung S500

Advantages: big screen, durability, videos with sound
Disadvantages: no sound while zooming, not so vivid colors

== Samsung S500 == I bought this camera 2 or 3 years ago. I have been using it many times, and it has never let me down. It's a good camera for general use, but don't expect extraordinary things from it. An advantage is that you are able to do videos with sound , but a big disadvantage that I discovered is that when you make a video the sound stops while you are zooming. It is good to know, because I didn't knew at first, and so I had lost a great ...
...lost some great memories. One advantage it's the size of the screen, which gives you a good overlook of your pictures, videos. Also, you can record sounds of a pretty good quality. I have been using this function several times, especially while visiting museums, recording the voice of the guide. I use rechargeable batteries, and for me they last about 100 pictures, but it also depends from the using of the flash. Another thing that I don't like are ...

Fantastic Simple Camera- Easy To Use.

Advantages: Easy to use, good LCD screen, gr8 zoom.
Disadvantages: Bit to simple, gets a bit boring after a while.

If you're not looking for a high-tech camera, all you want is something that takes alright pictures and is simple to use, this camera is for you. The overall design of this camera is lovely, it's got a great shape to it, and doesn't embarrass you if you take it out. The LCD screen is large enough, to see what pictures you have taken. I've had this camera for just under a year now and we've had to exchange it twice, because it was eating up batteries ...
...exchanged it we decided to change the normal zinc carbon batteries for rechargable ones which do work. We have to charge them about once a week, but it's great to take perfect pictures with. As we're only using this camera to take pictures of the family etc, we don't really need anything that high-tech so it's perfect for us. However, there are some things that do annoy me with this camera. 1) If you get the light in the wrong place it takes terrible ...

Takes high quality and great photos

Advantages: Easy to use, takes great photos, good features, large display screen
Disadvantages: None

I've had this camera for about 9 months and can't fault it. One of the best things about this camera is the large display screen which lets you see the photo you've just taken really well. You can also zoom in again to see the photo in even greater detail. I've had a few digital cameras, and used other people's and I've never known a camera to take such good photos everytime. I've never know this camera to blur - even when I've taken photos of ...
...particulary still. I'm very impressed with the "auto" option which adjusts well to whatever light you're in at the time. I've hardly ever had a dark or over exposed photo. Never had red eyes in the photos either. Basically, whenever me and all my friends take our cameras out for special occasions or nights out, they're always commenting on how nice the photos on my camera are. It's very simple and easy to use, so no problems there. The battery ...

Samsung Digimax S500

Advantages: Both camera and screen are a nice size
Disadvantages: No seperate viewfinder

I have owned my Samsung Digimax S500 for a couple of months now (I won it in a local paper photographic competition!) and have found it easy to use and find my way around the features. I am a very very amateur who likes to just point and shoot without having the bother of setting focus etc and this camera meets my needs. I'm not sure if I will ever find a use for the frames you can add to your pictures but this feature provided some amusment while ...
...I do like the zoom (zoom 5.8 - 17.4mm) and even found that using the digital zoom gave better results than my last camera. The continuous shot facility is great, no more trying to take the picture at just the right moment and missing the event, just take shot after shot and then delete the photos that do fail to capture the moment you wanted. The photos I have printed so far have been clear. My only criticism is the lack of a viewfinder. The screen ...

Brilliant Camera!

Advantages: Very easy to use
Disadvantages: Time delay beteen taking picture and being able to view it

This camera is great for those who arnt realy up to date with their camera technology, because of the ease of use, and the briliant clearness of the pcitures it takes. But this camera is not jus ace at taking high quality pictures, it also takes some of the best quality video footage, i have ever seen from a digital camera! The features included in this camera, are second to none, no PC is required to edit and fix the images taken, as all you need ...

Great Camera

Advantages: Very User friendly
Disadvantages: You cannot increase the megapixels without incresing the size

this is generally a great camera because it is very user friendly and s basically very hi tech as well. Taking photos with this camera is heavenly because i remember it was ney years eve ans we were in the club and i was taking photos of me and my friends while jumping in the air and it still took very awesome pictures. All in all it has served me great and the editing software that comes with it is just awesome. Also in automatic mode the way it ...
...is awesome, e.g appeture speed this is what to me makes the camera so manificent. and to top it all up you can record videos with sound, isnt that just great the only disadvantage is that the sound quality is not so good so you have to more or less talk into the camera to make sure the sound comes out right. ...
