Summary: Great Pictures, Easy to Use!
Review: I had a problem with another camera's proprietary charger...so off to the camera store I went!

I ended up with this camera--turns out I was lucky! It uses AA batteries, not a problem if you use rechargeables.

The interface is good--I had it figured out in minutes (manual is quite good, though).

But the pictures--excellent! I took some of a museum exhibit--lots of lights at odd angles, lots of glass and reflections. The pictures were wonderful! I also did some at night and outdoors--all came out substantially better than average.

For some reason, Samsung does not have a good reputation with some people. But this camera is well made and takes excellent pictures--what else could you ask for?

Summary: Quality
Review: I have been very leery of digital cameras as the picture quality of some that I've tried ws not so great. This camera changed my mind! I found it on clearance and paid only 129.00 for it so the price for a 4mega pixal camera was excellent. Not only is it extremely easy to use but the pictures are awesome. FAr better than the 35mm that i have been using. It also has the capability to do video w/ sound which is very cool. The only drawback is that it goes through batteries (AA) like crazy. Invest in rechargable batteries if you buy this one. Extremely easy to save your pictures to your PC also. This is one great camera!

Summary: Quality
Review: My wife bought this for me as a present. I dropped it. They sent me a new one. No hassle. Easy to use picture are very good quality and for 10 to 15 bucks a rechargable battery setup makes this an excellent point and shoot.

Summary: Good Pictures - Very Short Battery Life
Review: This camera's 3x optical zoom worked well and it took good pictures inside and outdoors however they did not appear to be any sharper than the pictures I got with a $98 3MP Vivitar.
The Vivitar did not have 3x optical zoom or macro capability which is a definite plus on the Samsung 420.

On the more negative side for the Samsung, and the main reason for just two stars; a new set of alkaline batteries lasted less than one day, taking only about six pictures. That was with trying to minimize my use of the LCD display to conserve batteries.
