Summary: Excellent little camera - same model as the V4
Review: In case you were wondering, this is the same model as the V4 and it takes very sharp photos outside, and not as sharp inside w/flash, but still very good quality. All this was done on "easy mode" so the photo quality gets even better when you manually select the finest quality. I haven't ventured into that yet. It's pocket-size and comfortable to hold. I shopped extensively and researched comparable digitals, and Samsung seems to have put a lot of thought into this one and the price is very competitive, which was a big deciding factor for me. For an amateur like myself, the easy mode works very well. For an experienced photographer, there are many possibilities. My original goal was to find a digital with a large LCD screen, however, I learned that the larger screen eats up batteries very quickly. This LCD is only the standard 1.5", but the image is very sharp so you get a good idea of what the photo will look like. I'm new to digital photography, so I cannot tell you how long the different types of batteries will last you. I've read that the rechargeable li-ion batteries perform the best, and next to that would be the AA NiMh 2200 mah or higher. But the best information I received was on a great website called "Steve's Digicams". It was very helpful. I do recommend this camera, but please keep in mind that I've only owned it for a few weeks, so I have not encountered any technical problems.

Summary: Great camera for price and functionality
Review: The camera is very user friendly, my 3rd digital camera and this is the most user friendly I have seen yet. Both my 14 year old and my 10 year old grandsons use this camera with ease, including the movie mode. This does not mean that this is a bottom of the line camera. It is a VERY good camera for any user ablility and age. The down side is that it is almost impossible to find the accessories for this camera. Fortunately mine came with the AC adapter and the case that actually goes to this camera. I have not seen either anywhere online. There is also an optional remote control for this camera but finding it has proven to be unlikely at this time. But still; overall a perfect camera for someone/anyone who does not want to take time to read a manual.

Summary: Wonderful Camera
Review: The Samsung Digimax V4 (a slight variation of this camera) was by far one of the best overall digital cameras I'd seen when I was researching cameras to buy, and I'm very glad I purchased it. The thing that made it stand out the most from other cameras was the battery usage. I've heard of some digital cameras using their batteries really quickly, but the batteries in this camera can last me a full day of photo taking. It can take several kinds of batteries, AA x 2, Lithium, and more. When I come home after a full day of taking pictures and pull them up on the computer, they look so clear and beautiful-every time it seems my jaw drops, the quality is amazing. Even a friend of mine who is very knowledgeable of cameras told me that he was stunned at the quality of the JPEGs I was showing him that I'd taken. Not only that, but when you go to the max zoom (which makes use of the digital zoom, which technically just "crops" the picture and enlarges it), the picture still looks just as clear as the normal pictures that didn't make use of the zoom. Something that doesn't usually get mentioned is the lens company. The lens company that makes this camera's lens is Schneider-Kreuznach, a company that's famous for its quality in lens making. Because of this quality, this camera might possibly give you overall better looking pictures than a camera that has perhaps 5 Mega-Pixels. This is a great buy for beginners and those who love taking quality pictures. There's plenty of information about this camera all over the internet- this should definitely be considered if you're looking for a great camera at a reasonable price.
