My daughter kept begging to take my expensive digital camera to school.   I found the Samsung S860 and bought her one - she carried it in her purse - dropped it at least a dozen times, splashed water on it and shared it with her friends.   She took it on a field trip after all this and when she had...

Samsung has never been known for making cameras, and there is probably a pretty good reason for that. Certainly the Samsung S860 8MP 2.4" LCD Digital Camera does absolutely nothing to shore up that poor reputation. With the exception of a large LCD screen on the back on this digital camera, it is safe... 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...

I bought this 8.1 digital camera at Radio Shack  in June 2008. It was $99.99( Just pennies more than Walmart). I got it for my 9 year old daughter to take to summer camp.  We had about a month to learn how to use it. It has so many features you really have to read the directions & practice with it.  On July 4th the lens cover wouldn't  close all the way & it wouldn't retract unless you gently pushed it in.  I took it back to Radio Shack & the kindly exchanged it.  She took some great pictures both in the daylight & night time. Wonderful fireworks pictures!  Recently, I was carrying it &... review »

The Samsumg S860 is a cool little camera that I recently bought for my 10 year old.  She was asking for a digital camera and I went looking for something of good quality but not too expensive.  I think I paid $89 for this.

This camera has great colors to choose from!  I got a metallic blue.  I know Pink and Silver were choices too.  Also, the buttons are user friendly, it's easy to change flash setttings, resolution and to view/delete pics.  The rotating button on the top allows for easy changes to 'dark', 'mountain', 'beach', 'video', etc settings.

I like the lens design, as you turn off...

I have owned this camera for a few weeks now and it is above average for the price .

 I wanted a point and shoot around $100 that would provide decent photos primarily using the Auto setting . In addition, this camera has image stabilization so no blurry shots, face detection, red eye removal and lots more that are usually only found on pricier cameras .

It has 8.1 megapixels and a 2.5 LCD screen -decent . The onyl flaws are the LCD screen is hard to see while taking shots in bright sun - a viewfinder would have been nice . Also, if your batteries are low ( rechargeables are a MUST ) , the lens...

This camera is okay for a cheap camera. I guess it has a fair amount of features for its price but being the family event photographer, I do have some complaints. The display is a ittle muddy, not as good as other cameras I've seen. It has a maccro setting but the closeups weren't all that clear or detailed. It's not very good in low light, and it goes through batteries pretty quickly.

I love this camera. It's easy to use. The best part is it can take videos and includes sound but if you zoom in while your taking the video the sound cuts out for a second.  Can use a lot of batteries but I used rechargables.

Samsung - S860 Digital Camera

 

I bought this camera in pink and was so excited to get it.  The first few times that I used it, the camera worked great after that it only worked when it wanted to.  The flash didnt work, the lens wouldn't retract half the time and when you turned it on the service message popped up and the camera went off.  I called Wal-Mart, but since I didnt have the reciept they couldn't do anything.  When I tried to call the company, there was no answer and no response at the website either.  When the camera did work, it took bad pictures.  Either they were too dark...
