When looking for camera reviews, specs and opinions I always visit DP review.
To some of the things stated above…
About the view finder:
This isn’t that type of camera. It’s a point and shoot. smaller and more compact than most with a view finder. It’s designed to be put in a pocket or purse and taken along.
Is it better than Zeiss optics:
No, there aren’t many things that are up to the quality / standards of Zeiss. Just below or equal to Zeiss optics I would put Leica.
That being said, Schneider makes fair optics. After all this (even at the new price) is a mid priced & mid sized camera. It’s a fair lens for this price.
It’s not overly large so that is why it is f3.2 at 24mm. It is a little surprising it only goes to f5.8
Seems to be an average camera that most point and shoot folks would get good use from. The price seems about what it should be for a refurb.
I always paid tax at Woot as they are in Carrollton, TX. I’m hoping that adding woot to Amazon didn’t make it the other way around and now I pay tax on Amazon purchases.
Kinda depends on what your going to use it for. The S4000 is a 4x zoom and this is 15x zoom. The nikon is probably a better camera, but is 4x enough for what your going to use it for?
Does anyone know why I would be paying sales tax on this woot? My billing address is Missouri, and being shipped to Washington. I’ve never paid sales tax on Woot before, and I didn’t think Samsung was based out of either. Any ideas?
the “35” model has the GPS
this is the “30” model, which does not …
which sorta 'splains not mentioning it in the write-up …
but 15X optical zoom … and pocket size…
oh SO tempting … a more-handy take-along than my DSLR … or my 5X pocket Kodak or Fuji …
Get The Behind me, Oh Tempting WOOT!!!
(grumble missed the BOC … whimper… even after I did a nice review of WOOT on the air…)
