This review is from: Yashica Samurai 2100DG 2.14MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

This camera resembles a camcorder and that facilitates one hand operation especially when taking a high-power zoom.I like the idea of a rechargeable battery pack as compared to using AA batteries.The picture quality is excellent! In all I got 58 pictures in the best mode before the batteries began to run out. But if you've got a big hand, then gripping it and handling theh zoom switch could be a little difficult as your fingers might go well beyond the zoom lever!

5.0 out of 5 stars Yashica Samurai 2100DG, June 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Yashica Samurai 2100DG 2.14MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

There are so many features, compared to your normal digital camera. You have the option of date/time, macro, red-eye reduction, distant view shooting, auto flash, fill flash, continuous shooting, digital output connector, video output connector, self timer, 3 modes of color (sepia, black & white, and color and so much more! It has a rechargable battery, a big LCD screen and is very easy and comfortable to hold. The pictures come out so clear and if you don't like them, you have the option to erase them off the memory card and start over. I would recommend this camera to anyone who really enjoys taking pictures.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy To Use, April 20, 2002

This review is from: Yashica Samurai 2100DG 2.14MP Digital Camera with 4x Optical Zoom (Electronics)

This camera may not be the best on the market, but it is the simplist to use without lacking features. It is easy to transfer files to and from your comptuer using the CompactFlash card reader for PC and the or the serial connection and the Kyocera drivers to directly read the card directly through the camera. I have had mine for a little over six months and have had no problems with it. This camera provides you with enough to have nice photos without the complexities of professional cameras.
