Samsung S860 8.1MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Black): Customer Reviews & Product Details

My camera was a Christmas present from 2008. Had to pay an extra $59.95 to pay for having it fixed or replaced as it broke on the last day of the 90 day warranty in March 2009. They returned without following their own packing guidelines. Flash broke 2 weeks after returned on June 14th. Had to send in to replace. Two weeks later camera went back out of focus and would not retract lens on June 24th, 2009. Samsung tells me "The camera was fixed before it left the shop." Ok, if I have a broken chair leg, I can prop it up until someone sits upon it.

*I* would not purchase another camera with a Samsung label or any other product based upon how they have handled this. My $75 camera (on sale) has now cost me (not counting photos of Grand Canyon, San Diego, and Las Vegas that I cannot get back with my small kids), but also $139.95 and I still have a broken camera. *I* would spend my money elsewhere.

Too bad they discontinued this camera... it is a really nice camera for a pocket point and shoot... very decent pics, it fits in a shirt pocket, uses only 2 batteries (get rechargable) - a 2GB mem card will yield 453 full rez images... if you can't find one new... find one slightly used and you will not be disappointed (unless you expect it to work like a DSLR, in which case, you shouldn't even bother buying a camera, you got the wrong priorities) Photography is MORE than the equipment.

Excelent for the price, best than I hope. Good pictures, good resolution. very happy with this product.

I had absolutely no problem with this camera. I started to shake in my boots a bit when I saw the bad reviews AFTER i had ordered the product and what concerned me the most was the fact that the bad reviews of the product were all made in the recent months while the best comments were made last year all around the same time. It made me wonder if the camera was on sale only to get rid of the set of cameras that were known to be botched products. My worst fear was the problems that were reported in regards to the lens not shutting. I can say happily that I have had no problems with that at all.
The camera is the perfect weight and size and I was impressed with the images that were taken. I have issues with my images coming out blurry a lot of the times but i think I just need to practice some more. Overall I feel it is a great product

I bought this camera for my granddaughters 13th birthday gift. These are her words grandpa it works just great and takes great pictures I love my Samsung camera. What more could you ask for!
