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.

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...

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.

I bought this camera at a reputable store as a close-out item. It had all the features I was looking for and then some. The pictures were very good. However, after about two months, the camera just quit working. All the lights were saying go, but push the button and ... nothing. That's when I found out that none of the usual camera equipment places will service Samsung. I was told it would cost more to send it to be repaired than what I paid for the camera. I was completely dissatisfied with the customer support for this product. I won't buy Samsung again.

As long as you have realistic expectations of what a camera in this price range should be capable of, then it won't disappoint you. I've had mine for five years now, it's been super reliable, and has taken some nice pictures. The lens is reasonably sharp, and the features will either let you do everything automatically, or have more leeway to play around with than your average compact. Exposure is normally very accurate, even with slides. It is on the big side, which is probably about the only thing which i would count against it. I would recommend it to someone looking for a compact which does a little more.

I bought my first camera almost three years ago.I took more than 500 pictures and I never had a problem at all. I've only changed the battery once. I recommend this product to everyone. That's the great combination between a perfect product and best price.

I received my Samsung Fino 105 35mm camera last year without instructions included. I have managed to take excellent clear pictures with this easy to use camera, but would like to know what all the symbols under mode and flash are for to allow me to take even better pictures. Is there a set of helpful instructions to go with the camera? If so how do I go about getting a hold of them? Ease of use is a major feature of this camera.

I checked the reviews on this camera about 2 months ago. I was almost convinced to not buy the camera, but I thought it was a good deal still. I bought it online and I've been using it for 2 months without any problems. I love the functions and the zoom. By far, I think this camera has the biggest bang for the buck. Try it at a best buys if you don't believe this review.

this is a great little camera for a great price. if you are serious about photography, this is the camera for you.the zoom works great on this camera, too. I give this 2 thumbs up:-) I really liked this item a lot. I got a bunch of good pictures of Australia(kangaroos etc..)I also helped the police catch a dangerous criminal by taking his picture and giving it to them

The camera didn't even reach full zoom when i first turned it on. Then one day it worked perfectly. After 1 week, when i tried to turn it on, it wouldn't. This is a perfect example of terrible craftmanship, terrible quality, terrible service, and virtually no good things about it.
