Samsung Digimax S700

...I have owned a Samsung Digimax 800 for some years now, which has been a good (if somewhat limited) and reliable camera. The build quality of the new camera is excellent. It feels solid, sturdy and is easy to grip. The battery compartment door feels well constructed and should hopefully last the lifetime of the camera. One of the deciding purchasing factors for me was the size of the camera and how it felt when holding it, as if getting ready to ...
...digital camera) recently took the Samsung out for a spin and reported that it was one of the better (read larger) models he has tried. He still complained that the controls were too small, but better than many he had seen. On a plus side, this camera benefits from a standard tripod mount, which is useful if you are trying to eliminate camera shake from your photographs and if, like my father, while struggling to navigate and use its controls. On ...

Review of Samsung Digimax S700

...have used. I never liked Samsung as a brand, but after using this, I would buy from Samsung again. The screen is very clear, and large,as it is a 2.5 inch TFT active matrixLCD. and the menu system is very intuative. Everything is point and click for beginners with some well though out camera modes, and it is nitty-gritty for more experienced photographers. There is a macro mode that works from 2cm away from the subject. The optical zoom has a ...
...digital zoom. I always stay with optical zoom, as I do not want noise introduced by the digital zoom. Manufacturers: Leave digital zoom out of it please. There is 6 ISO ratings and the f-stops and aperture opening times are adjustable. Impressive for a compact camera, especially at that price. White balance is also fully adjustable. It is a pity though that nearly everyone who buys a camera like this, sticks it on auto and clicks away :( It did ...

Review of Samsung Digimax S700

The Samsung Digimax S700 is a great 7.2 mega pixel camera with a large 2.5" LCD display, 3 x optical and 5 x digital zoom, video recorder, and much more brilliant features. Design: The design of this camera is sleek and sophisticated, with a large 2.5" LCD screen, and the brand and camera name printed on the front. The casing is silver, with a leathery bit next to the lens. On the top of the camera is the power button, and the settings button, on ...
...choose a start image, the samsung logo, or one of your photos. You can choose the language (22, including; chinese, french, dutch, and spanish.) You can change the date and time and the volume of the start up sound, video, and shutter sound. Overall this is a really good camera, and you can expand the memory, as the memory card supplied only holds around 10 photos at the most, so it is advised that you get a 1GB card, so you can fit lots of photos ...

Review of Samsung Digimax S700

...professional camera, in my opinion Samsung is a name you can trust and the pictures produced are of an incredibly high quality. I must say, although it is a great camera, it’s battery life is incredibly low, this is because you have to you the LCD screen as it does not have a peeping lens you can look through. It would be advisable to get rechargeable batteries or you will find yourself frequently going down to the shops. I would also recommend ...
...a lot of memory on its own. Another thing I find annoying is that out of friends alone 4 of them have the same camera which I guess emphasises the quality of the camera and others also recognise this. In my opinion the advantages outweigh the disadvantages by miles but I’ll leave you to make up your own mind. I hope this is useful to you. ...

...buying iot to replace another Samsung one that broke after dropping it a few too many times. This one seems to be slightly sturdier, and unlike many camera now, it is not too thin and delicate that you think that you will break it. The screen is quite big, so you can see the pictures quite clearly before loading them onto the computer, and also you havw the facility to crop your photos when looking at them on the screen. There are many features on ...
...a normal photo is easy to do, with good qualtiy photos, and a very good zoom. The video feature on the cmaera works very well, and unlike other cameras that I have used before, there is a good sound quality that comes with them. Only thing I would say is that they do take up a lot of space on your memory card.I would recommend buying this camera, especially for somebody that wants good quality photos for a reasonable price, and without too much hassle. ...

...I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to use a camera in average situations, to get more serious though you really need to spend a little more. For now though I am happy enough with it, Samsung did a good job here for this kind of money. ...

Review of Samsung Digimax S700

I got given this camera for my birthday as an all round general use camera. The functions on the camera are easy to work out and the quality of the pictures are amazing. The only problem i seemed to have with it, is the battery's, what ever type i used, seemed to run out very quickly, so i'd recommend using rechargable's. But all round, its a good camera to use for general purpose photo's and videos :) ...

Review of Samsung Digimax S700

I got this camera for my Birthday and I have used it many times. The camera itself is quite light and comfortable to use, the display is colourful and large, 2.4 inch. It comes with its USB lead and Digimax disk and is very simple to connect to the computer. The internal Memory can only take about 32 Pictures so you really need a SD Card, I got a 2GB Sd Card and it will hold thousands of 7 Megapixel images. In addition to pictures it also records ...
...video is the best and you can record video in different light settings much the same way you can take pictures in different light. There are 8 settings on the camera for quick access. Auto, Program, Video, Scene, Portrait, Night, Children, And Manual. For people who wish to take serious photograph's then Program mode is the best option, or Manual. This allows you to alter the shutter speed and focal length, you can also alter the White Balance ...

Review of Samsung Digimax S700

Brilliant camera for the price. Nice large screen and an excellent picture quality when you transfer it to the PC and print out your photos. However one problem with it might be that if you're not using flash and try to take photos, they can become blurry and you can get a motion blur effect so you might need a tripod for it. Apart from that it's worth every penny! ...

Recently bought this camera a month back, great quality and is very easy to use. However battery life is very short, but that is its only fault. Well priced for this type of quality camera, it is probably one of the best buys on the market at the moment. If you are interseted I would recomend keeping cover on the screen as it prevents scratches! ...
