I purchased this camera for my father for Christmas. He had previously used a Fuji fine pix that had to have the alkaline batteries replaced very frequently. It was very important to me that the rechargeable batteries last a long time. I have a Samsung digital camera as well and knew that the rechargeable battery held it's charge a long time. This camera does not disappoint. It takes great pictures and is very user friendly. I wanted to make sure the buttons were easily distinguishable and simple for him to decipher. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to others because of it's great picture quality, long life rechargeable battery and ease of use.

Takes great pictures with proper lighting, flash is quite a bit more filling than expected for a small camera.

Pictures with the flash (and relatively close subjects) seem to come out very good, with great balance of lighting, color, and sharp focus.

There is a lot of noise when there is insufficient light, and (at least on the camera I got), there seemed to be strange banding in the low-light noising areas.

By default it seems the flash wants to be in Red-Eye fix mode, in which it post-processes the image after taking the picture to remove red-eye. Nice feature, but I prefer it to be disabled as it can take a long time to process the images and it means it's not ready to take pictures for a while. It's disabled with the click of a button, but changing modes and/or powering the camera off returns this "default" setting. There is a traditional two-flash red-eye mode, but I prefer any post processing to be handled by my photo software and not so much by the camera.

ISO higher than 800, too noisy, however, there are quite a bit of manual settings on it that can allow you to minimize some of the auto settings.

Low-light focusing has issues as there's no infrared sensor, so at times it's best to focus several times before taking the picture to find the right focal length.

If you're looking for the best under $200 this is it! A great camera full of many easy to use features at a great price.

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.

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.

This is a great little camera for the price as i bought this for daughter for graduation present back in May of last year and it has worked great ever since with no problems, It is easy to work and takes good quality photos for the average photographer to use for family pics and things and it has the rechargeable battery which is why I returned another camera that had stated it also had lithium battery but didn't as most of the 130 and below camera's I have looked at all take AA batteries and I know I don't want that as spend a fortune in batteries or a charger and rechargabel batteries to use with them either one. I bought myself an Olympus that I like well but believe this little camera out performs it honestly. Good buy for the price for sure would recommend.

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.

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.
