Before i got this camera, i had read mixed reviews, as im sure you have. I must say that i am extrmemly pleased with it. I know some people who have bought more expensive cameras that seem aren't as good as this one. I have taken several hundred photos and a few short movies during the last couple of weeks that i've had it. I have had good pictures around 90% of the time- but the other 10% is when i've been moving, experimenting etc. I'm only an amateur, this is my first digi camera, so a few mistakes are bound to happen- any bad pictures have been my fault. there are many modes, very easy to use. I like the way i can quickly change to 'children' mode etc if i see a bird fly over my head, or set up a self-times, change the colour, crop, zoom etc within seconds. The 'E' button is fun for beginners and can make some interesting pictures. I have been having a lot of fun with the negative. I understand that i am only an ameteur, so this may not be the best thing for proffesionals, but anyone looking for a reasonably affordable camera that's easy to use, then this is it. Also, the zoom is very good! I think this advert says 5x digital, but it seems higher. It says 'x10' on some modes (dont quote me on this lol, i AM an ameteur afterall.) I bought the camera from this very page, and am more than satisfied with amazon. I used super saver delivery but still got the camera in less than 48 hours! The battery life is very good, unlike what the reviews said using alkaline batteries- the included NiMH are very very long lasting. The charger looks good too haha. Overall, it's a good camera, easy and quick to use. I would certainly advise buying this if you are a beginner and want to become interested in photogrpahy. I would also advise buying an SD card to save more pictures etc at a time- 1GB should be enough unless you're a photo-mad-man or are going on a really long hoiday etc. They are usually very cheap and can be brought right here from amazon. good luck with whatever camera you choose to buy.

As a first time buyer of a digital camera I have to say I was completely at a loss as to which one to go for. Searching Amazon I have to say I was very surprised to find an 8MP Samsung camera for under £100. Along with the added advantage of re-chargeable batteries and a docking station I didn't see how I couldn't buy the camera!! When it arrived the next day I was extremely pleased at how light it is and the quality of the pictures and ease of use is absolutely fabulous.

The child setting function on the camera is really good for taking pictures of kids or animals without the pictures turning out blurred and downloading the images onto your PC is an absolute doddle as you simply slot it into the free docking station and the images are automatically downloaded.

Would definitely recommend this camera to anyone!

Wow for under £100 this has to be one of the best buys on Amazon!! 8MP, a big screen, docking cradle and rechargable battery! I have been really pleased with not only how easy this camera is to use but by the quality of the photos I have been getting. I have even played around with the mannual functions which is great to be able to do on such a well priced camera.
First time buyer, or someone looking for a specification upgrade, I would highly recommend this camera!

i got my samsung s800 camera earleir today and what a camera it is

the s800 is awsome, and for £99.99 you just cant moan

i am a complete amature at photography compared to my friend who has studied photography for 2 years now, and i would happily say, in just one afternoon of playing around with the camera, i am capturing pictures better than what he is and that is down the auto functions on the camera and the macro functions

also, on the s800 is a child function, and as im only 18 i dont have kids, but i vigarously shook the camera and took a photo and i was amazed with the quality, not one glitch on the image and i coujldnt have shook the camera more.

theres not much more to say really apart from treat yourself to one, i bet this is the first 8.1 megapixel that you have come accross for £99.99 and the price is made even better when you get a free cradle and battery pack with it also

in a nut shell, the camera is awsome and is worth every penny, make the correct choice and buy this camera and record your best memories and days out etc

have fun and happy shopping

Last week only i bought this camera here in amazon. Very user friendly camera. Easy to understand easy to download to pc...and picture quality is really great...worth to buy one for this amazing price...Especially it includes rechargable battery and cradle!!
