This also the same port for
charging the battery, with the other battery charging cable.
So if the camera suddenly needs a charge (and there is no warning or
sluggish operation) you can't use any charger. You also can't watch movies
on the tv without using the battery power.
That said, I do like the camera but the cable issue has been too hard to
swallow and it got me good one time without notice.
The photos come out nice and there are lots of features that I am sure
work somehow.
I am going for the Kodak v530, no separate USB port but a separate charge
port, bigger screen, zoom active in video and a fast photo response time -
even with the flash.
I was lucky enough to get my Samsung at Co-st-co and they have the most
unbelievable return policy, any time length with a receipt.

Fun Camera, November 21, 2005

I bought this camera for my 15 year old daughter and she loves it. She has
the red model and it fits nicely in her purse (or even pocket). I think
it's great that the batteries are rechargeable - you just plug it in like
your cell phone. The screen is bright and she has used some of the
options- video and sound - but has not used most of other features. The SD
card is great too, since we have other equipment (flash, cameras) that use
the same card. We use our SD reader to copy pictures to the desktop and
our printer software to organize/edit since we have other cameras also. So
far it has held up well, and she is pretty hard on her euqipment. We
ordered from Adorama Camera - it also comes with a nice protective case.
All in all takes nice pictures and easy to use.

I've been a Nikon snob for years. I owned my own photo studio for 10
years. I'm now a State Trooper who shoots lots of auto crash scenes. I own
a small Nikon digital camera that is great but pricy. A friend has a lower
end Samsung digital camera. We were out in the mountains shooting wild
flowers this fall and after going home we downloaded the images to my
computer. I found not only her Samsung photos were beautiful but my Nikon
images were no better. Had to have one immediately!
My Samsung Digimax U-CA5 lives up to everything they say it is. When I
looked at the initial ratings on the page it didn't sound good but when
reading the reviews, there didn't seem to be a problem with the camera.
Trust me, this camera is great, from general snapshots to closeup and
adding audio clips to the photos. The video clips look as good as some
higher end video camera's on the TV and the sound, although mono is clear
and precise. It's a $200.00+- camera that acts like a high end unit. I
really like the in-camera video editing. The software that comes with it
works flawlessly.
Now my Nikon is only a backup camera........
Enjoy, Trooper John

Finally I don't have to carry a bag with the camera, I just carry it in my
waist. The resolution is ok, and the mpeg4 video recorded looks like my
8mm camera's.
I didn't want my camera to be too noticed, so I selected to go with the
blue one instead of this red version. There's a grey one as well.
I also purchased a Sandisk 1GB SD which gives this camera the ability to
store 382 photos in full resolution, one hour and 8 minutes of video
(68:00), or 25 hours 30 minutes of audio. (!)

I bought the camera for advertised $104 price and they have cancelled my
order without notifying me at all. That's not all, i also bought a SD
Memory Card to use with the camera and they have already delivered it. Now
i have a SD Card with no camera :). I really need a digital camera but i
don't know if i can trust them again. From now on, how could i know if
their advertised prices are real?

Guys wait for some time. They are playing mind games with this piece. They
started displaying it with 65% off - for $104.58.(July 20th)
Now the display is with 27% off - for $219.95.(July 27th)
The silliest part is the same seller is also displaying the item in an "In
stock soon" order with 17% off - for $249.94.
I have gone through its user-manual. The product looks cool on paper. But
this gross play is making this product stink.
