+ Fantastic little camera with loads of functions.

- Don't forget to purchase a 2GB+ memory card and watch your pixel settings - it can eat up memory space.

+ I bought the camera as a gift for a 'techno-phobic' friend. Within minutes of it being unwrapped he was able to understand exactly how to operate it, producing perfect pictures time after time. An excellent result!!

Score 9.0/10

+ We bought this camera for our 7 year old daughter and she can use it very easily.
Even a seven year old can manage to take good quality pcitures with this camera, therefore, it must be easy to use and can accomodate hand shake!
Excellent value for money.

+ Very good little camera, would recommend this to anyone who needs a camera for everyday use. I bought this camera for my 17 year old daughter for her Birthday as she was using my camera all the time which is a Samsung metal case camera at 8.2 Mega pixels and also very good quality.

- Can't think of any bad points.

Score 10.0/10

+ Everything, attractive, good picture quality and ease of use. Excellent piece of kit.

- Unfortunately the lens stuck and would not retract after only a couple of use but Tesco changed it no problems and we are really happy with it. The only concern with digital cameras is that they look so delicate and are light so we handle them with more care than we would a conventional camera.

+ I bought this camera for my eldest daughter. And it's just as good as my Sony DSC W80 compact camera. For the money it is hard to find another camera that can compete against this Samsung. Well built, easy to use and just as good as dearer cameras on the market. Plus it has a rechargeable battery!!!
