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. As stated above in the description of the product, the Samsung Digimax S800 consists of an LCD screen (2.4inches) which displays pictures taken to ultra-fine standards. When I bought the product, I had the option to spend a little extra money to buy the printer with it. I am not sure if this offer was national or if it was an in store offer so there's no need to tell you how much extra I paid.
The digital camera has 8.1 Megapixels, which still to this day produces great quality pictures as I have made an effort to maintain the camera, proving that it can last for a good amount of time. It can also record movie clips (MPEG4). It has a good range of effects you can apply to the picture as you take it (Sepia, Picture Size, Picture Quality..) Like when you buy a mobile phone, you receive a USB cable to upload pictures to your laptop/computer and an easy-to-read insturction manual.
Should I criticise the camera in any way? I would have to say that it eats batteries like you would not believe - as I have had the camera for a long period of time and had no other, I could not tell you if this is a common downfall of cameras. Some batteries, like Tesco Value ones, do not possess ample power to run the camera. More expensive batteries (for instance, Kodak, Energizer or Panasonic) need to be purchased to run the camera. Tip: if you fancy the sound of this camera (I believe it's worth the money regardless of the battery-eating problem it possess), stock up on batteries if you're going on an outing or holiday. Or even better, buy rechargeable batteries.
