Editorial Review:
The Samsung S1050 is a high-resolution digital camera that is equipped with a true-color filtered 10.1 mega-pixel CCD. This allows the Samsung S1050 to produce even better images and take detailed photos for printing up to poster size with an optical 5x and digital 5x zoom. The Samsung S1050 has a 3.0-inch large LCD for improved contrast and color reproduction, allowing you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. The Samsung S1050 has an auto sensitivity feature that automatically adjusts sensitivity according to the ambient exposure conditions up to ISO 1600. The high sensitivity setting of ISO 1600 enables you to take clearer indoors pictures in poor light without camera shake or image blur. The Samsung S1050 has a Movie Stabilizer function, which helps maintain steady recording of a subject by automatically detecting and correcting any camera movements. Designed with several thoughtful features to allow users to capture the images they want, the S1050 offers high performance and ease that anyone can enjoy.

Summary: Top value at the price
Comment: This is my third digital camera. I have an Canon digicam with a 12x optical zoom but I wanted something pocketable to take on bike rides and around town, so the Samsung is an adjunct rather than a replacement. I didn’t want to spend a lot of money but wanted something decent. The Samsung was 1/3 to a 1/4 the price of top brand cameras with similar specifications. The salesman in the electronics superstore sneered and made a disparaging remark when I expressed interest in the Samsung – but I bought it anyway. It exceeds my expectations.
Cons: It is *just* pocketable – lucky I have large shirt and suit pockets. It used the alkaline batteries in the box in about 20 shots but that didn’t worry me as I always intended to use hi-capacity nicads. The power usage is to be expected as it has a large screen and runs off two AA batteries.
The symbols on the buttons and multi-function dial are black (same as the plastic case) and impossible to see in dim light. It is reasonably heavy and does weigh down my pockets.
The auto shake reduction is not a true anti-shake system. It merely increases the ISO and hence shutter speed automatically, resulting in higher noise. Still, you can’t expect electronic or mechanical shake reduction at this price point.
Pros: The camera feels solid and-well made and is comfortable in the hand, The large 3″ LCD takes up most of the back of the camera. The 5x optical zoom is more useful than the usual 3x.
I took identical photos on the Canon and the Samsung. There is no noticable difference between them. Colour rendering and sharpness were perfect. The Samsung in some areas has a greater range of adjustments than the Canon – it is certainly not lacking in manual adjustments. The Samsung doesn’t have a panorama function but this is a minor point as you can still take panoramas and use open-source stitching software. It has a macro function that takes photos to within 1 cm of the lens, i.e., actually touching the lens surround. The flash is quite powerful. The tripod mount is metal rather than plastic.
Summary: An excellent camera that takes quality pictures. It’s not tiny or especially light but it is particularly good value for money.
Summary: Very disapointed badddd
Comment: What a bad camera
I had many cameras and this is the wroste one !

Comment: This was a really great buy. It is very easy to hold and the pictures are very clear. The screen on the back is great because of the size. I would reccomend this product to anyone.
Summary: S1050 Review
Comment: Very disappointed with this camera when shooting in low light conditions. Lots of noise when shoting in ISO200 and above.
When shooting indoor, most of the images turns out to be blurr at 1/20.
Anti-Vibrations doesn’t seems to improve image blurr.
But in outdoor lighting, photos taken are impressive!
If you don’t mind using tripod all the time when shooting indoor, this camera will be fine as it comes with manual control for you to play around with the settings.
Summary: Buy good quality rechargable batteries, and this is a great camera
Comment: This camera has lots of great features, an INCREDIBLY powerful flash, large LCD, takes 10mp pictures AND can be purchased for less than $200. So yes, to get all of that, there is a trade off which is an appitite for power. You must use good quality rechargable AA batteries. If you try to put duracells from your junk drawer in the camera, it will eat them like candy. After reading all the reviews about what a battery eater it was, I bought a second set of rechargables just to have on hand. I bought this camera on a Thursday night and put a set of rechargables in it then. I played with it for a couple of hours on thursday,friday and saturday. Sunday, I took it to the zoo with the family and packed an extra set of batteris just in case. I took over 100 pics and never had to change out the batteries. Monday I took my camera to work and showed several coworkers my pics on my camera before the batteries died. For the features, the quality of pictures, and the price, I don’t really mind recharging batteries every 100 pics or so.
