Samsung S1050

Advantages: Multiple settings for the best picture. Takes very high quality pictures for a standard digital camera
Disadvantages: No view finder so hard to take pictures using the screen in sunlight.

...of juice when out. The Samsung additional pack comes with 2 rechargeable batteries which gives you extra options. The only down side is they do run down very fast due to the 2.7" screen, so the rechargeable option is much more effective (but this is the same for all digital cameras). One of its best features is its Face Recognition Technology, which detects your subject’s face and then automatically adjusts its focus and exposure to ensure the best ...
...is a brilliant image quality. This is a brilliant feature and the result it really impressive. The speed and resolution when taking landscape photos at dusk and when shooting fast action shots is really impressive too for a normal digital camera. The advanced shake reduction manages the blur and shake in long exposure and low light shots resulting in an excellent image result. This is also a brilliant feature for a standard digital camera and the ... Read review

Advantages: Picture & Video Quality
Disadvantages: Needs quality batteries

...that I stumbled upon the Samsung S1050 that day. I admit it was the Pink colour that intially grabbed my attention, however the features listed seemed perfect for what I needed out of a digital camera. 10 Megapixels 5 x Optical Zoom 5 x Digital Zoom 2.5" TFT Screen Auto, Auto and Red-eye reduction Variuous Flash Settings Maximum Image Size 3648 x 2736 Pixels 800 x 600, 30fps Movies MMC Memory Card with 45MB Internal memory So I hummed and harred ...
...can glady report that it was a very wise decision. The picture & video quality is masterful, it is easy to operate, it's not too heavy or bulky. The only negative thing I can point out is that it does drain the AA batteries quite quickly. However I purchased some quality Duracell Rechargable batteries which are working much better. Overall this is a great camera. It's easy to use & produces quality images & video. I recommend it 100%. ... Read review

Advantages: Powerful zoom
Disadvantages: Poor macro

This is a very attractive camera. The screen is striking, in it's size and clarity. The controls are intuitive, my child was using it within minutes. It has internal memory and therefore stores pictures quickly. Some of the pictures are clear and luminous. The zoom is quiet and quick and surprisingly powerful. It is, however, more limited than earlier cameras we have owned. The focus is slow and can be fooled, some pictures are out of focus for ...
...and doesn't always focus clearly first time. We can't seem to turn off the digital zoom. The screen is useless in bright sunlight and there is no viewfinder. On the whole it's a brilliant camera for its price, but behaves much more like an old-fahioned compact camera and we'll take a while to get used to it. ... Read review

Advantages: Great Shots, Amazing optical zoom
Disadvantages: Batteries Length

...Great Camera ,Love the pics that i take... Only downside is battery length, alkaline batteries only last a couple of hours. Amazing optical zoom 5x. But in general is a great product. Minimum shooting speed about 15 secs and max 1/2000 secs. It allows you to record short movies. Samsung S1050 has 45 Mb of internal memory that can be expanded con SD/MMC/SDHC card. The LCD screen implemented in the 1050 has 3.0 " diagonally. I'm satisfy with my camera, it's a great price for 10.1 resolution, but it has some bad things to. Batteries again s a mayor issue! Rechargeable ones also last 'bout couple of hours. if you do buy this product you should try Nickel-cadmium batteries, maybe those will actually last a hole day.... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use and user functions that work well.
Disadvantages: Very few

...I will start this review off by saying that the Samsung S1050 knows what it is and does not try to be something that it is not and that I think is what makes it as good as it is. What I mean by that is simply that a lot of point and shoot digital cameras these days are trying to get results above their station and usually they fall flat on their faces. With the Samsung S1050 you get a good point and shoot camera that knows its boundaries and performs inside them very, very well. The camera does have lots of useful settings but it knows that it cannot compete with top of the range Cybershots or DSLR cameras so it does not try to it simply offers you a lot of good settings that mostly work very well. Amongst the settings on this camera are things like; ASR (advanced shake reduction), this allows you to get steady pictures even... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant photgraphs and price
Disadvantages: None for the price

...Samsung S1050 Digital Camera Price - £89.99 Colour - Pink Brief Specifications - 10.1 Mega Pixels 5x Optical Zoom 3.0" LCD Screen Face Recognition Technology - Which, I have to say, is incredible! Shooting - Takes still images and movie clips Having young children and living not far from the beautiful scenery of the Lake District, I'm really enjoy taking pictures and having an ordinary camera it was costing me quite alot of money buying films and paying to get them developed. I deceided to start looking for a Digital Camera and to be honest, didn't really know where to start, only knowing that the higher the Mega Pixels, the better quality of photgraphs. I didn't have a fortune to spend on a camera, and am not into professional photgraphy, so I didn't need something massively extravagant, just a decent... Read review
