2.0 out of 5 stars Good camera but old design. There are better choices., August 23, 2000

I bought one for myself and my sister about 5 years ago...It takes nice pictures but the details aren't the sharpest.

The camera is kind of big and bulky. Check out the newer cameras, they are much smaller and lighter. Smaller and lighter means you will take the camera with you more often and take more pictures.

I wasn't thrilled about the reliability. Both cameras had to be repaired as soon as the warranty expired (2 years). Both cameras had the flash go bad which cost $90 each to fix.

Then the door switch went bad on one making it totally useless. This time the repair would cost $100. I decided to buy a Canon instead.

If you choose this camera, ask yourself if it is worth the price to have a camera that will last only 2 years.

I strongly recommend you check out the newest models. For a little more money, you get a modern system with better features, smaller size, and hopefully better reliability.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor performance, poor customer service., November 18, 1999

i bought this camera 2 years ago, and have had nothing but problems with it. i understand some products can be 'lemons', but i have sent this camera back to samsung 3 times for the same problem, and it is never fixed for more than 2 rolls of film. i am completely dissatisfied with their customer service, their response and their willingness to work with me, as a consumer. also, i have been severely disappointed when i have taken a couple of rolls of film of important family events, vacations, etc... only to find out the photos didn't come out at all. if looking for a quality product, i'd look elsewhere...

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great camera!, December 23, 1999

I have been very satisfied with this camera. I got it about 3 years ago and have taken pictures of my daughters birth, 3 weddings, and several holiday and vacations. All the picture's turned out great. I would definately recommend it to someone else who is looking for a fairly simple point and shoot camera.
