Samsung A50

Advantages: An excellent Compact camera with a large screen
Disadvantages: Uses batteries far too quickly, which is very expensive and frustrating!

..., sepia etc. A memory card is essential as the camera itself only holds about three 5M pictures. There is no power saving option and my main frustrations have been that this camera seems to run out of power at the most in opportune moments and usually when I am not carrying spare batteries. The consumption of these batteries is quite unbeleivable. I always get duracel high power alkaline batteries and they last for about 30 photos!!! The camera just bleeps and turns itself off saying low battery! The images taken have been of an excellent quality and if Samsung could perfect the power problem, a good buy....

Review of Samsung Digimax A50

Snap Happy Samsung!

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

...up to A1/A2 size, I would not notice the difference compared to a cheaper model with slightly less megapixels. Thus, I was directed towards the 10MP Samsung ES55. I had wanted something with excellent picture quality that I could use in low light conditions, taking pictures in clubs and indoors. I would also use the camera to take pictures for my business. But, more poignantly, I needed something cheap! I'm pretty broke and I had expected to fork out quite a lot for a quality camera to meet my requirements. I'm also quite interested in art, so as a hobby, had intended on taking up a bit of photography. When buying a camera, it would be helpful to make a list of your primary needs and budget and see what falls into your category. I was told this would be the Samsung. Sorry if I am droning on at this stage, but I really do think...

Review of Samsung ES55

Samsung A50

Advantages: Huge screen great to see pictures and easy to you. Pictures very clear!
Disadvantages: Eats the batteries so has to be changed reguarly. I RIGHT PAIN!!!

...I recieved this camera as a christmas gift and was over the moon as it had everything i wanted in a good digital camera. The camera was £90 from Boots, which i thought was a reasonable price. The screen is huge allowing the pictures to be seen clearly. The picture quality is perfect and very clear.The buttons where easy to use. There were movie making features and optical zoom. The appearance of the camera is fabulous, and looks very stylish and cute! I think this camera is a must for anyone who wants a good camera at a reasonable price!! Only downfall is that the battery dies quite often, yet nothing that a good stock of batteries cant sort out. Excellent camera!! Would recommend A****...

Siemens A50

Advantages: About as cheap as you can expect to find
Disadvantages: The buttons are VERY annoying, and it is quite easy to damage.

...I decided that what I needed from a phone was simply to make calls and send the occasional text message. That's why I bought the A50. Its cheap, no frills approach seemed to be just what I needed. And don't get me wrong it has served me quite well but I do have a few gripes that are making me think I might soon be changing phones (I now have). The main one is that the buttons are not very responsive. There is nothing more annoying than trying to write a text and moving on to the next character only to realise that you didn't press the button hard enough for the last one to register. This phone is certainly not for the ardent texter. It just doesn't provide as exciting a tactile experience as you would like. Whereas some phones are actually a joy to use (see my review of the Sony Ericsson k700i) using this phone really is...

Review of Siemens A50

The easy to use samsung...ES55

Advantages: was a good camera, I loved all the features the camera supported
Disadvantages: n/a

...for a digital camera. The camera offers the customer a face recognition device which is really cool I think for a camera which means that there will be less blurry pictures, and it can detect where your faces are so not to make the picture distorted in anyway. The camera has an inbuilt smart scene recognition, which means that you can create the perfect scene for your pictures before, and if you are not happy with the picture after it has been taken you can change it then also. This feature to the camera was one of my favorites because i needed to make my pictures look attractive for my reviews and I could do that with this camera. So this feature came in very handy on the device! As far as I know the camera only comes in a sliver, pink and a black colour, but both are very smart. The screen is an LCD screen making the shots you take...

Let's sing the praises of Samsung LCD TV

Advantages: Saves space, good picture, built in freeview
Disadvantages: HD broadcasts not out yet, need a HD ready DVD player too

...apparent thiness. I particularly like the Samsung as it is framed in black ( see picture above ) and I think this gives it a sleek, stylish look. My boss informed me once ( he is full of pearls of wisdom) that a LCD tv is equally popular with husbands and wives. His reasoning is that men like all the gadgets that come with it ( and there are many like picture in picture, different screen sizes etc) while women like the extra space it affords the sitting room. To be honest I like the extra space it affords our room. Furthermore as a parent I'm glad that neither of my sons can lick the television screens any more when their favourite characters come on ( the things they learn from their mother!). It also means they have to watch the television from a certain distance which is obvouisly benefical to their mince pies! *** Spot the Difference...

Review of Samsung LE32R51BD 32" LCD TV

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...

Review of Samsung NC10

Never mind, Digitals comes cheap with Samsung

Advantages: Read the review
Disadvantages: Mostly but the price

...battery #Screen 2.7 inch LCD #Face detection, auto red-eye removal, a voice recorder, 12 scene modes, a slideshow function #VGA movie mode and a new automatic tool called Beauty Shot. #Dimension: 94.1x62.7x25.2 mm #Digital Image Stabilization #Advance Movie Mode #Color choices: Candy Pink, Silver, White and Dark Grey, Black. Performance: I would definitely say its performance overrides its drab looks. The images were pretty sharp with adequate detail at difficult areas, although image quality could have been definitely better but the shots are decent at certain lighting if you keep in mind the ISO setting to be kept under 400. But it must be underlined that the Samsung ES15 is meant for casual snappers. Menu & Controls: The menu layout control interface is the 4-way control pad which were quite responsive...

Review of Samsung ES15

Samsung NC10 Review

Advantages: Good battery life, nice screen, near enough a full size keyboard
Disadvantages: small-ish trackpad

...I recieved this netbook for christmas and all i can say is 'wow'! My background with computers is vast having built many and installed multiple operating systems on each, however i have never owned a laptop. Therefore i was a little dubious about some of the things such as keyboard size, processing power and battery life. I was looking for a laptop which is very small in physical size while packing a punch so it could still carry out multiple tasks. Buying a full size (15.4") laptop seemed a bit pointlesss as i have two tower pc's which are my main machines, so this was just to be about casual surfing/ reading emails/ browsing while on the move. The Samsung NC10 is in my view one of the very best netbooks out there, the keyboard is just shy of being full size so no cramped typing (this review was written on it) Combine this...

Review of Samsung NC10

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...
