Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Samsung has combined three of today's most popular electronic gadgets--digital cameras, MP3 players, and Webcams--into one compact device: the Digimax 35 MP3 digital camera. A true point-and-shoot camera, the Digimax uses a fixed-focus lens to provide simple operation, letting you worry about finding the perfect shot instead of finding the right camera settings. The 640 x 480 resolution of the Digimax makes great pictures to post on a Web site or send via e-mail.

The Digimax 35 MP3 really shines when used in conjunction with its included accessories. The software that comes with the camera helps you to create panoramic shots, as well as animations and simulated 3-D images, and a small tripod makes it easy to use the camera as a Webcam.

As mentioned above, two features set the Digimax 35 MP3 apart from other point-and-shoot digital cameras: an integrated MP3 player, and the ability to act as a Webcam. In MP3 mode, the camera plays files stored on CompactFlash cards. The camera's included 8 MB card will hold only about eight minutes of music--a couple of songs--so if you plan to use this feature, you'll want to invest in a larger-capacity memory card. As a Webcam, the camera can shoot footage at 5 frames per second (fps) at a resolution of 320 x 240, or 15 fps at a resolution of 160 x 120. A USB connection ensures speedy music and image transfers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good concept, but..., December 10, 2000

By 

Simon Said (Montreal, Canananananada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Samsung Digimax 35 0.3MP Digital Camera/MP3 (Electronics)

At first, the price disturbed me a lot, but later on, it irrated me. I saw it in a store and I went to see it. The retailer showed me lots of pictures taken with it, used the web cam, and played the Mp3 thing...

Pros :

-Mp3 player

-Webcam

-Digital pictures

-Save money buy getting all-in-one cameras

-Goog sound

-Easy to use

-Affordable

Cons :

-Plastic body

-It doesn't come with enough memory, you should get 64 megs if it can support it

-Bad quality pictures, this is for those who really don't care about quality. I suggest using it for personnal use and it looks fun!

-The web cam is below average, but who cares about quality when friends or family are involved!

-No good for printing

...then I realized that I didn't have enough cash to buy it. A good 64 megs costs the same price of the camera and I had to buy rechargeable batteries, a carrying case, a hamburger(hungry... very hungry...), USB port, more batteries, and maybe and an extra 32 megs just to start off.

A teenager would greatly appreciate it! A superb gift!

Parents could buy it to take lots of pictures, contact family with the web cam, and distract children with music!

Single people could use it to store memorable pictures, meet people with the web cam, and listen to music!

4 for its usefulness, and the negative for the lack of quality

What I want is a slim metal body camera with a very good web cam, a compatibility with IBM micro drive(1Gig!), and the obvious Mp3 player with bass and a random selection. I really hope that it's possible...

3.0 out of 5 stars Samsung all in one camera/MP3/PC camera, January 11, 2001

Chas (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews

This all in one package concept is cool. The accent colors attracted my daughter to the camera. It is really small, so that you can put it in you pocket. Runs off of two AA batteries.

Camera - VGA resolution - just OK for email - if there are MP3 files on the Compact Flash card, the MP3 player will start up when powered on. You have to remember to hit the mode switch to get to taking pictures. Remember to tell your friends how to operate it. MP3 Player - Small compact flash card shipped with the camera. To make it usable for MP3, you will have to go out a get a larger Compact Flash card. Remember that 1MB is about 1 minute of music. You may pay as much for a card as the camera. - The noise between sounds are irritating (too much) - The headphones use a 3/32" plug and is hard to find headphones with this plug (standard is 1/8" plug).
