Editorial Review:
Samsung’s user-friendly point-and-shoot S630 digital camera combines advanced image processing technology and quality optics with a straightforward, uncluttered user interface and stylish ergonomic design. The S630 simplifies the picture-taking process to let you capture images without worrying about adjusting multiple settings. Samsung’s ASR image stabilization system helps to reduce camera shake and image blur during longer exposures and in situations where holding the camera steady is impossible or a tripod is unavailable. The S630 features a built-in microphone, which allows a 10-second voice memo to be attached to any still image. Slide Show automatically scrolls through photos and displays them on a bright and vivid 2.5-inch TFT LCD screen. The camera’s Movie mode lets users capture video in one of two resolutions, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480 at 15 frames per second in AVI (MJPEG) format. Just as in still-picture mode, the ASR image stabilization system can be engaged to compensate for unwanted camera movement and subject blur in movie mode.

Summary: Don’t Waste Your Money
Comment: We purchased this camera from another dealer besides Amazon, but I’m so frustrated with the lack of customer support at Samsung that I’m leaving a review for others. I bought it as an impulse purchase when another camera broke while on vacation. I wish I would’ve been able to read other reviews from other websites first. From the first day we bought the camera it has been a battery hog. We replaced the packaged batteries within the hour of opening the box. I assumed they were just low quality batteries since they were with the box. Placed Engergizer Lithium batteries in the camera, they lasted less than 50 shots. Now the camera will not even recognize new batteries. It powers down before you can even take a shot (this with brand new out of the package batteries!) And forget about calling Samsung. First I was disconnected three different times. Then after 20 minutes on the phone it was suggested that I go out and buy rechargeable batteries and call back if those don’t work. When I refused to replace the brand new lithium batteries with rechargeable batteries I was told I would have to go online and ask for a request to return the merchandise for repair… what?!? I thought that’s why I called the 800 number on the box????????? When I pointed this out the C.S.R. only informed me that this was standard proceedure and the only way the camera could be returned. We will never buy Samsung again.
Summary: Good for the price; designed for fun, NOT for the profesional photographer (only 96dpi)
Comment: Pros:
Light weight, buttons feel good, LCD is clear and bright, icons are fairly standard (as compared to the other digi’ cams out there), uses AA batteries instead of proprietary design (may also be a con to some) fairly fast shutter (WAY faster than the S0nys!
Cons:
Even on the highest setting (”superfine”, 2816 x 2112, ~3MB an image) you only get a 96dpi image! My Can0n shoots the same size picture, and at 3MB, but at 180dpi! The visual difference is huge. The 2 AA batteries make the unit a little bigger than some would like, but I like that they are easily replaceable without having to go brand-specific. Low-light situations are just “acceptable.” Not great. More digital noise in low light images than I think there should be at this point in the digital camera game.
Other Thoughts:
The USB cable that comes with it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. Why? Samsung decided to go with the ultra small USB link on the camera, meaning you cannot use the other (larger) somewhat standard USB cable. Meaning: more cables to mind. Fairly easy to use if you have used other programmable digi’ cams. All the settings are what I expected and nothing wowed me or really bothered me. Good point-and-shoot for kids, non-professional photographers and people looking for decent quality images. Kingston 1 GB SD Card SD/1GBKR works well with it. Formats the SD very quickly.
The sounds (fake shutter, beeps and whatnot) can be turned off or modified. Nice. Does NOT have as many manual options as some of the higher-end cameras, but more than a kid or point-and-shoot type person would need.
When you plug the camera into the computer it does not connect right away. On the camera LCD, you have to select between “Computer” or “Printer.” Can’t see why, since I never use it with my printer.
Summary: Samsung Digimax S630 digital camera
Comment: Great camera, easy to use, easy to download pictures. Just be sure to get a savercard, or you will have to keep downloading after a few pictures. Also, be picky with your batteries, this camera will say “low battery” even with new ones if you get the wrong ones. We use rechargable. We have three of these cameras in our home, and use them almost daily.
Summary: Not Good
Comment: I bought this camera when I realized I had left mine in my husbands truck & I was leaving on a girls trip. Didn’t do any reasearch. Many pictures are blurry & this camera is SLOW in processing a shot. With the many comments about battery life I suspect that is the problem. But even fresh batteries don’t seem to help. ONLY good feature was I literally pointed it in the dark & using the night time mode & the pictures came out really good. But something else. This one is getting passed on to my employees for their work vehicles in case they ever need a camera.
Summary: Do not buy this camera
Comment: After a few months this camera does not work.
With new recharged batteries just shows ‘low battery’.
Service is hard to get also.
Look elsewhere.
