Samsung Pro815

I've had my Samsung Pro815 for about 6 months now, and have to say it was well worth the expense. As with most (probably), I had a compact camera but just wanted that "something" extra when taking photos and with the Pro815, I certainly have that! The Pro815, combines all the benefits I believe of a stand alone digital SLR with the extras of a digital compact camera i.e. taking short videos. The camera itself has a good feel and weight to it. I find it OK, but my partner who has used it a couple of times, did comment that it was a "little heavy". I think in part that when compared to a ... more

I have owned one of these camera for a while now and its excellent with a large screen and fantastic battery usage (over 400 photos on one charge), which was the best on the market when it was released, the only disadvantage i can see is the lack of image stabilisation but its a minor flaw in an otherwise excellent camera.

For the beginner to digital photography this is an ideal camera to start with. It is full of features that make most cameras in their field seem not ... more

I have used this camera in many different situations from family portraits to photographing wildlife, and this camera has done me proud, giving brilliantly clear high definition photographs. This camera has an auto focus facility which can be easily used by beginners who don't feel confident in photography and the manual focus, this is how I started with this camera but with a little practice I can now use the manual focus to its full extent. The infra red remote control is useful for many aspects of photography, such as wild animal photography where I live is difficult and you have to wait ... more
