Summary: for beginners?
Review: After reading the review of this camera I decdied to go and buy one. Afterall they are [onexpensive] and apparently reliable. I also bout 32 expensive batteries thinking they would last me a while. They lasted less than 3 days. Now, it would be logical to assume that I took a huge amount of pictures but you would be wrong. The total number of pictures I took was just under 100. 16 times the batteries were changed as the camera kept flashing "battery low" and turning itself off on me right in the middle of a shot. Batteries aside, let me mention the quality of the pictures. Oh my god do not move and make sure you have the lighting perfect. The slightest shake and your picture is ruined and if the lighting is wrong you can just imagine. Also, there is actually 2 settings for the camera. One I assume is for close up and one is for further away. I read and re-read the manual and although it says to change the setting back after using the macro setting, what "beginner" knows what a macro picture is? The manual fails to explain what the actual difference is between the 2 settings. It just states that if you don't turn the setting back your pictures will be blurry. Problem is that they are blurry a lot anyway. This camera, once your batteries have been replaced and you have found the perfect light, providing you have the camera setting on the right one the picture quality can be quite good. A few turned out like mirror images- bear in mind I say a few kindly. I personally, as well as my friends and family, agree that this camera is [inexpensive] at first but after you buy the adaptor or the constant supply of batteries you need, it does work out quite expensive. I would estimate that you can expect to get one good picture to every 4 taken, and one great one to every 12+. I guess this is a case of you get what you pay for!

Summary: Not Bad for the Money
Review: Batteries seem to be everyones biggest problem. I bough some NiMh rechargeable batteries that will last for at least 80 pictures on a single charge. When I upload pictures on the computer I use an adapter since it does use a lot of battery power. It takes great outdoor photos. Indoor photos don't work out too well. It doesn't have an LCD screen, but if in doubt, you can just take another since it doesn't cost anything anyway. If you're going to use it mostly for viewing on a computer and for sending by Email it is great. For printing photos it's not high enough resolution.

Summary: Be realistic
Review: Bought my camera 2 years ago and I'm quite impressed with the results, considering the low investment.
My advise for you is 'be realistic'. This camera produces excellent pictures for internet and presentations, but should not be your choice if you want to print pictures.
A pair of good-quality alkaline batteries will deliver c 100 non-flash shots.
A 8 mb card (+ the 2 mb one that comes with the camera) will allow you to shot c 90 - 100 pictures. Buy a USB card reader to download pictures to your PC; don't use the serial cable as it exhausts batteries. Once downloaded, I prefer not to view my pictures in the full screen mode; the pictures look better when smaller in the screen.
The in-built flash will deliver mediocre results and drain your batteries; this camera works much better with good lightening. But be careful with over exposed objects.
The photo editing software is more than sufficient for domestic work i.e. adjusting colour and brightness. Don't waste your money buying another (over-functioned) software unless you want to give a 'professional' touch in your pictures.
This camera does not have zoom lens nor LCD screen to help you to preview your shots, but this is not a problem at all.
Don't get disappointed if your first pictures are not as good as you expected. Give you time to learn how Digimax works and you'll be amazed with the results that 0.8 megapixels can deliver.

Summary: This is the worse camera
Review: I bought the Digimax 800K camera 2 years ago and it takes lousy pictures. The pictures are blurry and the softeware that comes with it is no good. I have been searching for another software for it to maybe try to improve the pictures but to no avail.
I would not but this camera again.
Although the lightweight and small compactness of the camera is a bonus and the built in flash. I found it ate up the batteries like crazy.

Review: I bought this camera ...and was extremely dissapointed. I had problems downloading images to my computer, having to shift tthe camera around to different positions. The image quality was awful especially outside ones. I definately wouldn't recommend anyone buying this as their first camera. Save your money and invest in something a little better like the Fuji 2400 or one of the Kodak range.

Summary: Samsung Digimax 800k
Review: I bought this camera because it was the cheapest in the local store. I wanted it only to take photos for uploading ...for use on my web page. At first I wasn't impressed, the image quality wasn't very good and the camera went through Duracell batteries at an incredible speed making it very expensive to run. Now I have got used to it, I actually quite like it! I can usually judge if the light is OK and a good image will result. Good points: Cheap, small and easy to use. Capable of reasonable images if light is right. Bad points: You cannot see the images until you have loaded them into the computer so you don't know if your pictures are any good. But then that's what I am used to with film cameras anyway. Battery life is a real problem (see below). Tips: Buy a smart media card reader for your computer and don't use the serial transfer. This will vastly prolong battery life. Buy some rechargeable NiMh AA cells and a charger. They will repay their cost in no time at all. I want to get a bigger smart media card (the 2mb one that comes with the camera only holds 15 images). The information I have seen is contradictory on the subject. Some of it says 16mB is the maximum and some says there is no limit (assuming 128mB max). I guess I'll buy a big card and try it unless someone can confirm that it won't work?
