Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Samsung S860 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Black)
Customer Review: Ok Camera~But wish I never bought it
Summary: 2 Stars
This camera eats through regular batteries. I go through two in about a day of average picture taking. It also has this strange thing when you are finished taking a picture. Most cameras take about a second to process the picture. For some reason, this camera takes anywhere from 5 to 10 seconds per picture. So, if you are into fast picture taking, this is not the camera for you.
About the only good thing it does, is it takes really nice pictures. But, you have to have the flash on, have a steady hand, and be willing to wait for it to process. The steady hand thing on the camera doesn't actually let you take a picture with a shaky hand and have the picture come out clear. It just tells you that it is trying to take a clear picture. The picture will still come out blurry, just not as blurry as it would if you were using a film camera. The macro feature isn't the best. You are better off not even trying with it.
Now let's talk about getting the pictures off of your camera. If you have an SD card reader, that is great, use it. Otherwise, don't lose the cable that comes with it. If you do, good luck trying to find a replacement. It isn't your standard camera cord. The connection is much smaller than normal and must have its own cord.
The video feature is ok, it just doesn't work with VLC or Windows Media. The sound only works on the camera and be prepared to talk really loud to have the camera even record it. And no special features like high speed. It is just a regular video camera.
If this is your first camera, it is a good one to get started on. It will teach you to be patient and will help you get to know the standard camera features. But, if you are into taking pictures of anything, go with a different camera. This one will just drive you up a wall.
