Samsung Digimax V4 4 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Intuitive menu and operational controls more easily mastered than much of the competion, Picture Quality is top rate. An entire well written manual in english. Weakness: Not easily available currently had to look for quite some time. Minumus size LCD will be a little annoying to some. Buy extra memory! This camera feels very good in your hands even without an over fashioned grip. The LCD is small but readable. Uses AA batteries which is a plus. I'm not sure where the optics come from but was producing pics as good as my 4.0 mpx Nikon so I'm impressed. Moving pics with sound is a nice option. Well priced for this high quality of a camera. 75% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Samsung Digimax V4 4 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Superb optics, full manual control on everything, small size Weakness: Is dead in minutes of reasonable picture-taking functioning from alkalines and NiMH rechargeables(which last for 8-10 hours in my mp3-player).Only Li-Ion CR-V3 or brandname Li-Ion(+about $95) work. Perfect second camera for an amateur or a professional. Perfect optics. Good electronics and full picture-taking control combined with small size which is kinda unique. 75% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Samsung Digimax V4 4 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: World's reknown Schneider Lens. Ultra Sharp images. Full manual function supported. User friendly. Bunch of functions but still compact. Supports 8 types of battery Weakness: The only weakness i found was the slow view of picture thru the lcd screen. Overall, this is an extremely competitive camera especially for those who want to prepare themselves as a amature photographer. Since it provides full manual function, you can practice many functions that will be applied to DSLR cameras. I was using this camera since last year, and recently i moved over to Canon 300D, which is a DSLR camera. You can take supurb picture, but it really depends on the skillz you learn from it. If you think you are skilled, then go for it, and use 100% of the manual function it gives. Don't think this as a cheap camera. If you know how to use them, then it's all yours. I would recommend to purchase the samsung recharbeble Li-ion battery together. Normal li-ion battery exhaust too fast. I also found it useful to buy a remote control, but it is your preference. 63% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Samsung Digimax V4 4 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: One of the smaller cameras sold (easily fit in jeans pocket). great price. 4mp is good. easy to use. great pics. sd card and AA batteries - easy to get those anywhere. Weakness: software isnt that good, but neither are the others - you are better off buying something like Adobe Photoshop. overall this is a great camera and i even bought one for my relative b/c they liked it so much. very simple, straight forward camera. i had the kodak 6340 and looked at canon, sony, olympus, minolta and nikon. they were all very overpriced. olympus was just not good. C, S, M, and N required special batteries, which meant you needed a spare. kodak had a big LCD display which was nice. so overall, this camera had it all. 60% of readers found this review helpful.

Samsung Digimax V4 4 Megapixel Compact CameraStrengths: Has a very good book of instructions and the controls are very easy to use. Weakness: There should be a better placement of the link to the PC. instead of a pull open door, it should have a slider, it would make it easier to attach the USB cable to the camera. I would, and have recommended, this camera to people who have asked my opinion about digital cameras. It is very easy to use once you get used to it. The instructions are well written and the use of illustrations and photos are very helpful. 33% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Samsung Digimax V4 4 Megapixel Compact Camera
Strengths: easy to operate, small size(using SD memory card), good quality of picture, various functions, good customer service, works with several different types of batteries(including AA).
Weakness: weakness of the included software.
i think this is one of the best digital cameras i've ever seen. it provides voice-recording, preview of the movie clip with sound. the quality of pictures is very satisfactory. one of the most superior functions compared with other brand cameras is the convenience of its operation with several one-touch buttons. the size of the camera is small so it is very easy to carry. i definately recommend this camera to someone who is considering to buy a new digital camera between several different brands and models.
