This review is from: Samsung Digimax L50 5MP Digital Camera with 2.8x Optical Zoom (Silver) (Electronics)

I bought this camera as an upgrade. I had a 2 megapixel Kodak camera and I wanted a new camera with (1) More megapixels and (2) Thinner design so it would fit in my pocket. This camera is not all bad. I have taken some decent shots with it. And it is thin enough to take everywhere. However, I am quite surprised that most of my pictures are worse with this camera than they were with my previous camera, which had less MP.

I don't know what the issue is, but way too many of my pictures with this Samsung come out blurry. This has not happened to me before, with cameras digital or otherwise. With the Samsung I have to take a lot of shots to hope that one of them comes out OK. I went to a concert on Saturday and took 45 pictures. About 5 were good enough to print. Also, the zoom on this camera is awful. I completely expect to lose resolution with the zoom, but this is ridiculous. And again, I had no problems of the sort with my previous camera (which I should have stayed with).

I bought the Samsung because it seemed like a great deal at the time. But I have been truly disappointed with the quality. For the price and features, I did not expect some spectacular camera, but I certainly expected it to at least work better. I've played around with the features and tried taking the same shots in Auto, Program, and Scene modes, and nothing improves.

Shop around and do more research than I did when I bought this camera. There are better models out there for the same or better prices. I have other Samsung products that I am happy with, but this is the LAST Samsung camera I will ever buy. It took me 2 years to upgrade from my last camera, and I am upset that it's only been a few months and I am already looking for a new camera because this one is simply not up to par.
