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 camera for around £100 that takes good pictures and is easy to use. I was first drawn to this camera because it was pink, daft I know but it did look lovely! This camera does also come in black and silver.

Included with the camera are 2 batteries (I would recommend purchasing Nickel Metal Hydride batteries as they last much longer, these are included in the Samsung accessory pack to purchase seperately) a user manual, software CD, USB cable to transfer pictures onto your computer and a camera strap.

This camera couldn't be simpler to use, having a 3 inch LCD screen which displays information such as, battery time left, number of shots remaining etc. There is a mode dial on the top of the camera which enables you to change the camera mode, you can set it to Auto mode for easy picture taking, or Scene mode for different shooting situations etc.

The menu is also easy to use, even for a first timer like myself who didn't want to be bothered with reading the manual - I just wanted to get stuck in!! Flicking through the pictures stored on the camera and deleting ones you don't want or have transferred onto your computer is easy, as is the zoom in/out button, taking a second to adjust and re-focus itself.

Downloading the images onto your computer couldn't be easier, just plug in your USB cable and switch on the camera, it will ask you if you want to transfer the pictures, click on your choice and you're away! I do recommend purchasing the Samsung accessory pack as this includes good quality rechargable batteries, battery charger, camera case AND a memory card my camera can now store 380 pictures.

Now I've never had any other Digital Camera so I can't compare it to anything else, but for the price and fantastic quality of photographs that it produces - cheapest at Argos than anywhere else - I think it's brilliant.
