Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Samsung S860 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
Customer Review: You get what you pay for, if you can wait to take your next picture buy this camera.
Summary: 3 Stars
Simply too slow at taking pictures for me to deal with. Between the time you push the shutter button down and when the actual shot is taken who knows what your picture will look like. Bottom line is the "processor" inside this camera is way too slow. Even if you manage to take your first picture its going to take you another 5-8 seconds to take another one because of the time it takes to save each image onto the SD drive.
On a side note this camera only lasted about 1 month because of my punishing nights out in boston. The first night out i dropped it. The second time i took it out it was freezing up, likely due to the first time i dropped it. It did not make it past the 2nd night and was found crushed the next morning. The SD card was recoverable though. Next camera is going to be the olyumpus 1030sw......
Description of Samsung S860 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Silver)
The Samsung S860 is a high-resolution digital camera that is equipped with a true-color filtered 8.1-Megapixel CCD. This allows the Samsung S860 to take detailed photos for printing up to poster size. With the Face Detection AF & AE function, the Samsung S860 enables the user to take better portrait pictures more easily. This function detects faces and automatically focuses on them. The brightness of the faces is adjusted optimally for beautiful portrait pictures. In macro shooting, it is now possible to take clear, natural pictures. Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and color, which is sometimes found in flash photography. With DIS the effects of image blur are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even take well-exposed, sharper pictures in low light conditions without using a flash at all, which guarantees brighter and more natural pictures. The different icons, scene modes and other features are described in simple and easy to understand terms to improve the interaction between the user and camera.
