Samsung Digimax S800

About a year and a half ago, just before I embarked on a holiday to Spain, I decided to treat myself to a brand new, good quality camera. The one I purchased is infact, all of the above. Although there are many other digital cameras with more Megapixels, bigger zooming capabilities, this camera is still regularly used and I have no intention of purchasing another anytime soon. The camera cost around, if my memory is serving me correctly today, £140 at the time I purchased it. Well worth the money in my personal opinion and I will explain exactly (hopefully) why.

this low cost camera offers quite a lot for the price. it is relatively compact, certainly small enough to fit in your pocket or handbag. it has a large colour screen which is great, however this does mean that battery life is quite short and i would definitely recommend some good quality rechargeables to go with it. the 8.1 megapixels gives a good crisp shot. the lens quality is ok. under zoom the quality does go down a bit, but it is still far superior to the quality in say a camera phone. it comes with a disk to help synch it up with your computer, but you can plug it straight in without ... more
