product(s): 1 Samsung Digimax L85 8MP Digital Camera
I have a Samsung Digimax camera, but it’s only a 4MP. Despite what some might say about Samsung’s quality of cameras, I love mine and I’ve never had any problems with it. It’s a pretty decent camera. I’d get this, but I’m saving up for a digital SLR.
"One of the most consistent complaints I get from digital camera owners concerns missing crucial shots, whether it is a mom who can’t record her baby’s precious smile or a dad having a hard time capturing his son hitting a baseball. Most times, this happens because of shutter lag, the delay between when you press the shutter release button and the time the shutter actually opens. That’s also one reason I find the Samsung Digimax L85 compact digital camera so disappointing. My tests show it has the worst shutter lag of any camera I’ve tested to date. "
Ok. Let’s start talking about the new woot. Looks like no view-finder-eye-hole-thingy (yeah, that’s the technical term).
Otherwise, is it any good? I just lost my camera.
Yes it was fun, but I’m glad it is over. Whew. Now I can finally go to bed.
I got a monkey!!!
But no Bowl of Chunks.
This looks too much like a regular camera - my 6 MP does me just fine. My DH and I prefer smaller, more portable digital cameras. I have a bulky one that I can use regular film in if I really want super nice photos. The color in digital pics (particularly of pets) is just off somehow.
This is an outstanding camera, by the way!
I never, NEVER, thought I’d say that about anything made by Samsung, but they have really improved.
Not a bad price, either. Too bad I’m up to my eyeballs in cameras lately.
