Samsung - S860 Digital Camera Review

I bought this camera because I was planning a vacation to Vegas, my husband and I are going to fly there. My other camera is the Nikon D50, it's a large and somewhat of a clunky camera. Don't get me wrong, I love that camera too but I wanted something cheap to bring with on the vacation...just in case we lost it or something we wouldn't be out much. My Nikon cost us over $800.00 where this Samsung was just under $100.00...that's a great price for such a great camera!

It's very easy to operate, it just so happens to use the same SD card as my Nikon and I just love that I can do some fun color changing editing right on the camera! It uses 2 AA batteries and has a 3x optical zoom (which is better than the digital zoom when it comes to getting those great 8x10 pictures. It has face detection which is nice but sometimes it detects things other than faces, but that's OK.

I purchased the silver one from Amazon.com. I can't wait to go on the vacation and take several pictures with it. I have been using it around the house just to get used to it, the pictures I've taken have all been of great quality even though they are just quick snapshots. It starts up quickly and seems to have to pause just briefly between taking pictures but it's more noticeable in low light than anything.
