First off I gave it a 4 stars because it doesn't come with a rechargeable battery, which stinks, my battery is already dead. I recieved this for my birthday and I sjut love it. It is super light and very easy to use. There are alot of options on this camera. It is user friendly and has a built in memory, you can also use a memory disk on this camera as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Until the Battery Died Within an Hour, December 28, 2005

This review is from: Samsung Digimax U-CA 505 5MP Digital Camera with 5x Digital Zoom (Silver) (Electronics)

This camera really is worth it. It is light, attractive, and easy to use for beginners like me. Within a few minutes I had everything set up and was already taking pictures. The pictures are great quality, and it was simple to upload them to the computer. However, within an hour the camera wouldn't turn on anymore, and it was strange because I wasn't using it for that full hour, rather on and off. I called up Samsung and they said that I needed a new battery, which is absurd because it only lasted an hour! This is definitely ridiculous, so now I need to look into buying a rechargeable battery. All in all, you should really take into consideration purchasing this product, but beware because it's a power sucker.

This review is from: Samsung Digimax U-CA 505 5MP Digital Camera with 5x Digital Zoom (Silver) (Electronics)

I bought this camera offline but was about to return it until I saw the reviews re the battery life. Amazon saved me a major headache trying to return what I thought was a broken camera. Instead I'm just going to buy the rechargeable battery FROM AMAZON. You just can't beat the power of social networking!

Camera is great bang for the buck. Try to find another 5 MP camera in the same price range and you won't see much. This is a great entry level digicam!
