5.0 out of 5 stars Great Digital Camera, November 4, 2004
This is a great digital camera. The price for it is amazing it being a 5 mp camera with a gazillion features. I recommend this camera to anyone the pictures come out beautiful and perfect and for moms with young ones that just like to jump and not pose for pics its a great camera it has a feature that you put in children mode and even if they are moving it captures the moment perfectly. I was looking for a camera that took quick pictures without distortion and I found the perfect one. The battery life on it is amazing, I go days without charging the lithium battery that comes with it and believe me I use it n use n use it. It takes great movies and for how long you want em depending of the memory card space you have of course. So just get this with a 512 sd card and you are set to go.

4.0 out of 5 stars good camera, October 11, 2004
the price is reasonable, this camera has some interesting features like aperture priority, speed priority and manual modes, brackening, and exposure lock, manual focus, two slots ( SD and memmory stick duo). cons: it does not have a volume control when reproducing MPEG 4 videos, does not have flash level control and burst feature.

The price VS benefits offer a good result, good display with rotation

4.0 out of 5 stars Samsung v50 review -, April 22, 2005
I have had the v50 for a few months now, and find it very nice. In fact with 2 improvements, it would be almost perfect.

The Good:
- takes good pictures
- takes good video (30fps, 640x480). I have not found a limit in recording time, and have gotten rid of my video camera.
- easy to use and set new modes.
- can set to take 3 photos in about a second.
- comes with a rechargable battery that lasts a long time. I went on a 3 day ski trip with my family, taking all the video and pictures I could, without recharging.
- If the battery does run low, you can pop in normal alkalines.
- Uses low cost sd memory (or mmc, or memory stick)

Less than perfect:
- Unless you pre-focus (buy pushing down half way on the shutter) the shutter delay is roughly 1-2 seconds. Even pre-focus there is roughly 400mS delay (I use the 3 shot mode for action).
- Once you start taking a video, you can not zoom in or out. You must stop and start a new video to change the zoom. I haven't found this a problem, as I rarely shoot one scene for more than a min. or 2.

Summary: A good camera for the money, with lots of good features.

Update: after over a thousand pictures I would like to add these comments:
1) It seems that all digital cameras have trouble in low light, without a flash. This camera is no exception.
2) The video camera is good, but not as good as a "real" video camera. The one thing I don't like is that once you start a video clip, the zoom can not change. This is o.k., since most of my clips are short, but there are times when it would be nice.
3) I still like it a lot. One of the best features is that the battery is large (for a digital camera) and it takes a lot of photos on one charge.
