DSLR Camera Case
I received the item promptly. For the money it is a good buy although still couldn't compare to my Lowepro Cases. It fits a camera with a zoom lens easily. I like the fact that it is waterproof as well.


Great Case
Good quality, my Nikon D300 fits in but I wish it had more room. Doesn't have many pockets, only a pouch in front and another inside, padding the cover. Just perfect if you don't need many pockets.


A must have for travel photography on the go
I believe this is a must have for when you are traveling to many places and do not want to carry big or bulky case. Excellent quality.

Comparing to NV10
I bought the upgrade to my old camera (the NV10) because I was excited about all the new features. I believe the file quality is better, the noise is less apparent, the ISO has a better range, and the flash is no longer a pop-up, which is great, because I used to always put my finger over it! There are a few changes that I don't care for. One being they changed the location of the charger/usb port to the side--it is harder to insert the cable and likely that I'll break off the rubber part they include to cover the port. With the old version, I never noticed the flash going off twice before taking the picture (which I assume is for focus or red eye), but now the delay is a hassle and when taking pictures of people, they assume the shot is taken and move before the shutter actually captures the image. I do like the new modes, they make it a little bit easier for beginners to use the program modes. I don't like that the black and white option is on the dial--it took me a few minutes while at an event to figure out why it was in black and white, when I had never set it to do that, and it's because the dial had accidently been turned while in my bag. So I would suggest getting to know the camera pretty well before taking it to something important (always a good plan anyway) because not all of the settings are ultra obvious to turn off or on. Overall, I think it's a very nice camera for a very reasonable price, there are just a few things that I'm not sure why they changed them from the original.


Wonderful
I spent a while researching cameras before purchasing the NV40, I found that it had all of the features that I wanted. I especiallty like the self portrait mode it works great. Camera is very compact and the pictures are very clear. There are so many features on this camera my only complaint is that there is no in-depth printed user's manuel, you have to the supplied disc on a computer.

Samsung NV24HD 10.1MP Digital Camera with 3.6x Optical Ultra Wide Image Stabilization Zoom (Silver)
Binding: Electronics
Manufacturer: Samsung
Product Description:
Representing the very best in compact camera technology, the SAMSUNG NV24HD boasts a 24mm wide-angle and a 3.6x optical zoom lens so you have a wider shooting range. Capture images and record videos in high definition - then watch them on your HDTV in high-quality 720p resolution. Images are richly colored, crisp and clear, simply the best quality available in a digital camera. Crystal-clear digital images can be viewed on a HDTV for the ultimate slideshow through a single HDMI cable. What's more, the NV24HD is enabled with Anynet+ technology, so all you need is one remote to take control of the action. A wider 180° viewing angle, enhanced color reproduction, ultra-high contrast ratio, and quick near-zero millisecond response time are just some of the advantages of this new, thinner, AMOLED screen. Unlike standard LCDs, the bright 2.5? AMOLED screen reduces the glare from sunlight so you can see your images under any lighting condition. Dual Image Stabilization eliminates the blur caused by camera shake and delivers clear, crisp images every time, even under difficult lighting situations. Integrating the best lens shifting mechanisms of Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) with the sophisticated algorithms of Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) corrects even the tiniest of shakes. Whether you're indoors or out, snapping a landscape or friends around a table, the 24mm Ultra Wide Angle lens gives you a wider shooting range from a shorter distance and more flexibility for a greater variety of high-quality options. The 24mm Ultra Wide Angle is a perfect marriage of advanced versatility with the convenience of a stylish, compact camera. auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 (only 3M) ISO 20MB Internal Memory (additional memory recommended to store more photos and video) Media Card Slot - SDHC Card (up to 8GB), MMC plus (up to 2GB) USB Connector, Video Output, DC Input Approximate Unit Dimensions - 3.9?(W) x

Good for everything
The video is very nice but it isn't super nice. For a pocket camara that's still amazing. Easy to use.


best compact
pros :
- best compact I ever owned (I have Nikon, Panasonic-leica, Fuji, Kodak...)
- AMOLED screen is bright and crisp.
- real wide angle (24 mm)
- one of the most simple to set up ( "real" smart button )
- up to 3200 Asa U can use (granulated but useful, if like me U don't like flash style light))
- SDHD card = 16 Go = more than 3000 photos 10 MP, ultra fine. (Do you remember film rolls ?)

cons :
(just to try to be exhaustive...)
- no optical viewfinder; it could be useful in very special conditions, but most of people don't have the use of it.
- I don't succeed to buy the cradle for HDMI connection. I think it don't exists yet, even at Amazon ! Wait and see..
- no separate battery charger. U must plug the camera to charge the battery. ( but I have a ten dollars universal battery charger for cellulars which works fine !)

Samsung Disimax is a great camera
This is a wonderful camera. I was unsure about buying a camera online without seeing it first, but I am very happy with it. It takes wonderful pictures and it small enough to fit in my pocket. I would recommend this camera.


Fun Little Camera
For the money, I can't believe how good this camera is. Takes great shots and videos. It also has a lot of fun features like changing the color or adding frames to pictures. For someone low tech and thrifty like myself, this camera is perfect.


Nice for the ladys
This is a good camera especially for the price. Image quality does suffer a bit from the price and I don't like the proprietary cord connections. The charger is proprietary and the data cable to download the pictures is. In this day and age, I think most if not all digital cameras should use standard mini USB cables. Nevertheless, I give it a 4 out of 5.


Great value!!
The L830 is a great product for the price. Previously I had a Samsung Digimax i6 and LOVED it so I tried to replace it with something similar or better. The L830 has lived up to my expectations of a great Samsung product. Its pictures are easy to take, clear and with brilliant color.


AWESOME!I LOVE IT

great lens for macro but for portraits as well
it takes some time to get used to shallow DOF when taking photos on high magnification with wide aperture. auto focus speed is acceptable.

you can use it for portraits and other photos, not only for macro.

check some photos taken with this one at: www.pentaxphotogallery.com (filter by Image Data > Lens...)


pentax da f2/8 100mm macro lens
I love this lens.It has opened up so many new possibilities. I use it all the time. I love not having to zoom and focus when I'm shooting it gives me more time to just get good shots.


Good fun lens
I have made close-up photos with Nikon 60mm f/2.8 and Pentax 100 f/2.8. In comparison, the Nikon 60mm has better resolution. However, I much prefer the 100mm in real life. The Pentax 100mm and other 90mm and 105mm macro lenses allow me to be much further away from the insect so that it doesn't get frightened and move away. The Pentax 100mm is small and light for a macro lens. Given the long working distance and the small lens diameter, I can actually use the built-in flash for a 1:1 macro photo, which is impossible with a 60mm or 50mm macro lens. The 100mm also makes a very decent portrait lens. However, this Pentax lens has two weaknesses. First it is not the sharpest lens I own; the Pentax 50mm f/1.4 is. Second, auto-focus is slow and unreliable, except near infinity. Manual focus is required for close-ups; but the focusing ring is slightly loose and could be more precise.

this is an excellant lens . works perfectly with the camera that I bought...I love the pentax products

Worst for night mode
Bought this camera last year. Okay for day light photos and worst for night mode. I tried different settings but still could not use this camera to take pictures during the night time.


It's an okay camera
The reviews for this are good, but I am not to happy with my camera. I did have a Fugi finepix camera before the Olympus and the pics were great! The camera broke so I decided to try this one. The pics aren't as good as my other one so I would only give this one a 3 star.

I am picky about my pictures. I like the objects to be centered and showing detail. A lot of times when I take a picture with this camera it turns out blurry. You are supppsed to focus on the image you want take and push the button down halfway so the camera will focus then take the pic. A lot of times I just want the pic so I just point and shoot, so it turns out blury. A lot people probably would not notice this. If you try and blow the picture up and print it out, that's when you can tell.

This also doesn't have the little eye piece you can look into. Just a big screen on the back. That doesn't bother me unless I am trying to take a picture outdoors on a really bright sunny day. It's hard to see the screen if it's to bright outside.

The video quality is horrible too. Very grainy and hard to see.

They say you can use the digital zoom, but when you try to, the pic isn't very clear. If you are just starting out taking pictures then go for this camera. If you are into pictures and want better quality, I would go with something else.


Perfect Traveling Companion...
This camera has met my expectations in so many ways. I should note I never really wanted to start looking for a new camera when I started looking for this one, but a camping trip (where I actually stored my camera in the tent!) sent my Canon to its grave. This was the second digital camera I'd lost to outdoor exposure. No more. I'm now a loyal Olympus fan.

Thus far, my Olympus has been through the rain and cloud forests of Costa Rica, through several feet of freshly falling snow in Romania, and on many a camping trip and trail. And I'm just as happy with it as day one.

The images are crip and clear, it fits perfectly in my jean pockets, and I like the fact that the lens withdraws within the camera to avoid scratches. Battery life has been outstanding. It seems to be such an issue with so many electronic devices, but I've found that I can take hundreds of pictures with my 810 without a hitch. Now that I think about it, on my recent trip to Romania, I was snapping away with the camera without an electric converter or spare battery and never ran out of batteries over my 11 days.

At first I was a little disappointed that I couldn't find a weatherproof camera with a viewfinder, but I've become very used to the LCD digital display as of late, and it hasn't proven a problem.

If there is one thing that I would like to change about this camera, it's the curved edges. Sure, they look good. But say you want to take vertically-oriented image in the middle of the night? You can't set the camera on a level surface with the curves edges on the sides (and you can't hold it in your hands, or the image will blur due to the long exposure), though you can shoot horizontally. I guess I could get a tripod, but this is a point-and-shoot camera...

And if the worst I can do is to complain about a camera's ability to shoot a particular orientation in the middle of the night...not bad, right?


Olympus Stylus 810
This camera got great reviews in Consumer Reports, and I'm sure it's perfect for some, but it's far too slow to get good pictures of active kids. The "weatherproof" feature would've been nice, but I exchanged it for something faster.


WONDERFUL CAMERA
This is a great little camera, I use it at work all the time! It takes great pictures!
