I wanted an easy to use digital compact. The Samsung S760 seemed to fit the bill, the specification was all I needed and at the price it was a steal. It's still early days but so far I am absolutely delighted. For the average family photographer I can't immagine you would need anything else. The only two slightly bad points, my package didn't include AV leads (apparantly some packages do and some don't) and I couldn't download and save the instruction manual ( I could only read it while the CD was in the computer) to be fair the latter may be down to my incompetance with the computer!
Strengths:
All the features you are sensibly going to need
Convenient size
Takes AA batteries
Cheap
I found myself in Guadalajara with some time on my hands. Had brought my Nikon DSLR outfit with me, but decided that I really needed a point and shoot to take full advantage of the walking/shooting opportunities. So, I went to a camera store and did some shopping. I was totally unfamiliar with more recent P/S digitals..I haven't purchased one for awhile. I got my hands on this model and realized it's potential. Came with a case and a 1GB card. A great deal of control for a cheap P/S and a really informative unit. Very compact with a great LCD. Shutter lag virtually non-existent. Shot for a day with varying ISO. Was amazed when analyzing the pictures in my computer that evening. Very useable up to 800, and very nice at the other end at 80. Digital image stabilization works well. Controls are quite intuitive. Photos were all well exposed with little burnout of highlights, and sharp. This camera is really a ball to use. Only wish it had an optical viewfinder and a 28mm lens. Samsung?.........
It's available much cheaper under less exigent circumstances. I'm going to buy another for my wife when I get home. Recommended!
I would give it a 4+ compared to truly similar units.
Strengths:
Compactnesss; overall performance; ease of use; quality of photos
Great for travel, family pix
Weaknesses:
No optical viewfinder; only 35mm equivalent at wide end.
bought it recently. great pics, very sharp and the auto setting is really good, it is very adjustable and always gives a good photo. best buy in that price range.
Strengths:
7.2 mpix, battery life, software, price.
Weaknesses:
plastic (no metal construction), it does not give the impression of quality
