♥Samsung L830

Advantages: AAdvantages way out disadvantages! --- great quality, stylish, fun to use!
Disadvantages: a little flimsy, menu a bit complicated, rubbish instruction manual

...An introduction The Samsung L830 is an advanced but usable camera newly launched by Samsung. I bought this camera for £79 from Currys just after Christmas. I though that this was very much of a bargain as I was told that it was reduced from £199.99. So what does it feature? The Samsung L830 boasts 8.1 mega pixels of quality, although you can also downgrade the settings to lower mega pixels. The 8.1 mega pixels provide the user with an astonishing degree of pure quality in both photographs taken and films created. The definition and detail is absolutely superb and when you take a picture of something it actually looks like the object in the photograph. There is no doubt that the quality is absolutely fantastic and you could use this camera and it's quality to take all different kinds of photos. However, as the photos...

Samsung L830 - fantastic

Advantages: ASR, Optical zoom, 8MP, Face recognition, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Slow shutter time

...Features: 8.1 mega pixel 3X optical zoom Face recognition 2.5" LCD screen Red-eye fix ASR (advanced shake reduction) i-movie (MPEG 4 SVGA quality 800x592) High sensitivity ISO 1600 Mode Dial Items you'd find in the box; Camera, rechargable battery, AV cable, camera strap, AC adapter, USB cable, User manual & warranty and a software CD - things such as memory cards & a camera case have to be bought seperately. I bought this samsung camera few months ago from Currys.Digital for around £80 - great value for money in my opinion. The battery life lasts approx 100minutes and takes about 200 photos in 8M, fine quality or 90minutes recording time using 640x480 image size. I found this camera really easy to use there is a power button & the shutter button at the top of the camera, as well as a dial to easily switch between...

Samsung, Sleek and Shiny

Advantages: Good images (which is what you need, really)
Disadvantages: Not intuitive to use

...Time to be dragged into the digital age and get a digital camera, so I recently purchased this baby (handily in time for my trip to Slovenia). It's worth pointing out it is also available in silver and black, although I have the red as pictured. What can I say, it's pretty and shiny. And it is pretty, compact, well-proportioned and sleek, with Samsung's usual appealing design. With regard to digital cameras - I was very reluctant to buy one for years as I liked having the physical pictures, but I haven't missed them! I now actually prefer being able to delete the shots that come out badly, or just where I've taken ten shots of the same thing (yes, I do that. I must be a frustrated photographer). i paid £112.00 for my camera on the Pixmania website, which seems to be a good price. The camera's own memory is pretty pathetic...

A Handy, Stylish Camera For A Good Price!

Advantages: Very Handy Features, Includes Very Good Technology!
Disadvantages: Can Take A While To Get Used Too

...What Is It? The Samsung L830 is one of the newest digital cameras by Samsung. It has some of the newest technology on the digital camera scene at the present time. What's Special About This Camera I got this camera for Christmas after researching it on different sites and one of the things that appealed to me most was the Face Recognition Technology which I hadn't heard of before. The idea is that it focuses on peoples faces to give you clearer shots which I thought was really cool. Another thing that pulled me to this particular camera was that the price for what you get. Packaging The camera is cosily packaged into a box with big pictures of the camera on the front. The box is very colorful and definately shows off the camera! When you open the pack you have the instructions, the actual camera, a USB cable...

Snap Happy Samsung!

Advantages: Great camera at a great price.
Disadvantages: None at the price, you get a great item for what you pay!

...'t worry about getting surroundings in, this can be trimmed later). Then use the zoom (+ button at the top rigth) to zoom into the desired area with surprising definition and trim! Ace. Oh and another thing, recharging this camera is lemon-squeezy, since you just plug it in via the USB/ mains charger. Battery life is great and apparently outsmarts AAA battery cameras hands down (I have only had to charge my camera a few times since I got it). Please have a butchers at this website to see the specs I promised: http://www.cameras.co.uk/specs/samsung-es55.cfm Ok, I think I got everything. I did write a longer review but argh pressed the back button! If I think of anything else, I'll add it on later! Extras: Child mode to enable quick pictures (e.g. children/ pets who are always scrambling out of shot!); Fast shutter speed and flash charge....

Samsung but smaller

Advantages: Very compact and lightweight, excellent value for money, great design with brilliant screen
Disadvantages: No dvd drive but this is to save on weight and you can pick up an external one for reasonable

...Having previously had a laptop my wife recently decided to buy a new computer for herself as she felt she was not taking her laptop with her due to size and weight and so decided to opt to pick up the Samsung NC10 netbook. So you may have noticed that this is a netbook and be wondering what this exactly means...a netbook is a smaller, lighter weight laptop that is simply designed to handle internet browsing, e-mail and office software. The question I was asked by my wife before she picked this little gadget up was would this be able to play games? The answer is yes but of a limited variety as this is not designed with the same level of specs in as a normal pc or laptop (you would also need to purchase a cd or dvd drive for if you are looking at playing games that use a cd). Now down to the actual netbook itself...the Samsung is...

Samsung's Neat Little Netbook

Advantages: Good performance, Good connectivity options, Good webcam, 160GB HDD, Upgradeable
Disadvantages: Not very good accessories, Picks up Fingerprints, Weird button under touchpad

...After my white Asus Eee PC 1000H got stolen, I decided to replace it with a black Samsung NC10. The Asus and this Samsung are what is known as a netbook. It?s sort of a small, low cost laptop to let you surf the net, while you?re out and about. I bought it off Dixons.co.uk for £322 in December 2009 (had a 5% off coupon) but it?s going for around £310 at the moment in most places. CHOICES The NC10 is Samsung's first stab at the netbook market and they?ve done a blinding job of it. I believe it even won an award for it. The NC10 comes in three flavours, those being black, blue and white. I chose the black as it looks prettier. The white one also looks great but I figured that it would start to pick up dirt and go a bit black, especially the keyboard and touchpad. The white version has a matte lid so doesn't pick up...

Samsung NC10 Netbook

Advantages: Lots of connectivity - Big keyboard - excellent screen - Good spec
Disadvantages: bad sleeve to store netbook - battery life not that long - small touchpad

...and basically not do anything demanding. I have got 8 hours using the batttery manager - i placed everything at the lowest settings and got my 7 and a half hours. But after a recharge with everything on lowest settings - running some demanding programs - i got 4 and a half hours - now whilst this is still good - its not that impressive. If you switch to max performance the netbook is superb - everything is much faster and more enjoyable but then you will be getting a maximum battery life of 3 hours. Then there is the fact that batteries lose power after a while anyway. The netbook can also get very hot - whether its charging or not - so dont put it on bare legs :-) The charger is good and it doesn't take long to charge - especially when you can use the netbook whilst it is charging. The sleeve for storage is losuy and does nothing to...

The Energizer Battery Charger

Advantages: Good value for money
Disadvantages: Takes a long time to charge batteries

...I had been intending to purchase a battery charger for quite a while. In fact I had even dropped hints to certain family members around Christmas time, but to no avail. I was recently reminded of this missing piece of equipment in my life when I rediscovered the PC lead to my digital camera. Remembering that a pair of standard batteries lasted for only about 30 photos in this camera I decided that it was certainly time to invest in a battery charger and some rechargeable batteries. I purchased an Energizer CHDCW8 ? 4 battery charger from Argos for just £9.99. This decision was based on several factors, the most important of which was the price and what I considered to be the best value for money. The design also played a part in my decision process, but in the end it was the price/value that were the strongest influencing factors...

Review of Energizer CHDCWB-4 Battery Charger

Never mind, Digitals comes cheap with Samsung

Advantages: Read the review
Disadvantages: Mostly but the price

...If I remember correctly of all the cameras that I have reviewed here, this possibly is the cheapest so far. In fact the main idea was to have a first hand experience of Samsung range of cameras and I thought it prudent to try the cheapest possible available in Samsung array of cameras. Well the experience is very close to disaster. Design: Probably its only positive point is its price, that probably is about all. If you look at the design it does look cheap, drab and dumb to say the least. In fact the ES55 looks just that better with its very quaggy aluminium casing, this one comes with a forlorn drab plastic wrapping which probably will make the least fashionables talk about fashion. Lets have a look at the technical specs of the Samsung ES15: #Maximum resolution 10.2 megapixel #3x optical zoom lens #AA alkaline...
