2.0 out of 5 stars I went through two of these..., May 24, 2002

I tried this out in the store and was impressed by how easy it was to figure out the basic operations without a manual. It takes good pictures for general use, such as EBay or viewing on computer. The price and styling are also attractive.
There seem to be quality problems. The first one I bought had problems with the macro lens setting. It quit working! The second one had a bad LCD right out of the box (illegible bands across the screen). I noticed the demos in the stores had broken macro switches as well. This model is made in China. The 200, the next model up, is made in Taiwan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Check the internal memory., July 24, 2002

This review is from: Samsung Digimax 130 1.3MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

I just bought this as my first digital camera, and overall I think it is a good camera. The controls are straight forward, and the images, when displayed on my computer monitor (Dell 15" Flat Panel), reflect accurate color reproduction. The problem I currently have is that when using the 8MB internal memory, if I attempt to take a picture when the LCD readout indicates six images remaining, the camera locks up. The only way to get out of this mode is to open the battery bay door to power it down. (The power switch will not do anything at this point.) This problem does not occur when using a Compact Flash memory card. I would consider trying another one of these if the store I bought it from had more in stock.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent entry level digital camera, January 3, 2003

This review is from: Samsung Digimax 130 1.3MP Digital Camera (Electronics)

All I needed was a simple camera that could take resonable quality jpgs for newsletters and websites. Outdoor pictures are fairly good and indoor (flash) pictures are quite acceptable. The sensor is rated at ASA 200, so keep in mind that flash range is only about 12 feet.

With a 32M flash card it holds 69 photos at high resolution. Downloads are easy,the digimax viewer/browser is excellent and all the included software seems to run well enough in Windows 98.

The only flaw is that it is too easy to leave the lens in macro position when taking normal range photos. On the plus side, the macro pictures are excellent. With Nickel-Metal rechargeables and conservative use of the LCD screen, battery life is "not bad" for a digital camera. All things considered, a decent camera if your needs are modest.
