This is the APS camera to buy. Don't let the fairly unfamiliar name (in the camera world) of Samsung distract you from the best APS camera value by far. The 28-80 mm zoom lens outdistances all but 1 or 2 of the other APS cameras on the market now. It is also the same size as those advertised as "smallest available" at 3.8 x 2.25 x 1 inches. I don't know why this little guy doesn't get more attention, but it is a fantastic camera. The photos will not disappoint. And it's a rugged little thing! I fell into a stream while crossing with this camera hanging around my neck, and it was no worse for the wear after I removed the battery and let it dry out overnight. All the photos on the roll, before and after the plunge, were great. Buy it to believe it!

this little camera seemed really great when I bought it - lots of features, powerful zoom, and a bargain. However it didn't perform.

The battery compartment door was very flimsy and often wouldn't close properly. It got splashed with water and stopped working entirely - for good - and I couldn't get the roll of film out, had to take it to a camera repair place to extract it but it was also ruined. They remarked on the flimsiness of the camera's construction.

I wouldn't recommend it - spend a little more and get something sturdier.

This little camera is just loaded with features. I am really impressed, and I haven't even finished taking my first roll of pictures! The zoom is really zoomy and smooth. I like all the flash options, and the lcd panel on the back is very intuitive. This camera even comes with a couple of little reference cards, so that you don't have to tote the manual around or remember the more obscure options if you want.

This is my fourth still camera (one other Samsung zoom) and my second APS. I can't believe all they have packed into such a small package. It's extremely versatile, and I have had nothing but excellent results with it. I've put it through the paces in a variety of situations and settings, and it has always come through for me. Because of its size, I always carry it with me. It gets more use (and usually better results) than my three other cameras combined. Great for someone who doesn't want to sacrifice quality for convenience.

This camera is a great deal for the price. It features the APS film system and a great zoom lens [80mm] at a price that is less than many other manufacturers' non-zoom APS cameras.

The zoom is controlled and as powerful as one can reasonably expect. Generally speaking, the camera is both extremely easy to use and reliable. Used properly, it takes very good pictures. It is every bit as small as many much more expensive APS cameras, though it is a tad heavier than some. Overall, the Impax 300ix is a great bargain and an even better camera.

I have been using this camera since couple years, my experience is great!!!!! This is compact camera with excellent zoom, and the picture quality is outstanding. I would highly recommend this camera, if you are looking for APS camera.

I bought this camera with high expectations about two years ago...and have been riddled with problems ever since. I was hesistant to buy a Samsung camera, as this company is not very established in photography...but the features offered for the money seemed too good to pass up. When the camera does take pictures, they are of pretty good quality (except that the red-eye reduction frequently gets shut off by the brush of an unknowing fingertip)...but this happens rarely. From a month old the shutter would not open completely which ruined many shots...then a few weeks later, the drop-in loading became very tempermental. After a year of fighting with film...the camera decided to reject film altogether...leaving me stranded in Italy purchasing zillion-dollar disposables. ...

I have used this camera for more than a year now and believe me, it's a great camera. I travel a lot and I have over 500 photos now which I washed after using this camera and each one of them is extremely satisfying. They come out clear and with excellent quality. I like this one. It's good value for money.
