Of all the digital cameras I've checked out, the Samsung S630 is one of the easiest to use, comfortable to hold camera that fits in your pocket ready to use in most circumstances. My main priority was finding a camera that was easy to hang on to without accidentally touching buttons or controls changing settings or functions, and the Samsung S630 fit the bill. With the wrap around front 'bump out' with rubber insert for finger grip, and the recessed thumb indent on the back, it's a breeze to hang on to whether shooting straight ahead as usual or holding overhead for shooting over crowds or holding in awkward positions taking pictures in cramped quarters in & under the car or around corners in crowded storage buildings, etc. Firm grip and still little or no danger of accidentally changing the settings. Most other digital cameras I've looked at before and since buying this one have too many small buttons and/or have them in the wrong place making them difficult to hold on to without altering the settings. Only downfalls or minor problems are occasionally rolling the 'thumb control wheel' to a different mode when pulling out of pocket to use, and the inherent delay between shots that most digital cameras suffer from. For Instant shots of moving targets, it's still hard to beat a good 35MM point & shoot camera, but for most other shots it is a very good camera that's easy to use.Read full review
Good basic camera. Felt a bit low end compared to Sony or Casio I also purchased but still not too bad. I purchased this camera on Ebay for just $10. Reason it was that low was because the flash was not working. A Google search indicated that this camera had an issue with the flash not working if the camera was dropped. I decided to open the camera to see what I could do to repair it and found that due to the impact of being dropped the capacitor connections for the flash (looks like an internal AAA battery soldered to a circuit board) broke off. I was able to make the repair with a soldering iron and solder. I was successful and the camera actually works fine but having been inside the camera and seeing how it was designed I'm not at all surprised that this was a fairly common issue with this camera. Other than that though it seems like a good camera. Takes great pictures and is very simple to use. That it uses AA batteries is something I really like about it. I found though that using alkaline batteries in digital cameras is absolutely the wrong way to go as it tears through alkaline batteries like there's no tomorrow. Use rechargeable AA batteries instead. You'll be absolutely impressed.Read full review
This camera takes great pictures, is easy to use, and is a great value for the money. However, its major flaw is that it a very delicate item, so if you have one I would recommend that you purchase a padded case and use a neck strap. Most of these cameras that you find on eBay either were dropped or someone put it in their pocket(broken LCD, damaged lens, or flash not working). The LCD on this camera is raw, meaning that there is no protective covering or coating on it at all. This makes it easily scratched or broken which accounts for about 75 percent of the problems. The retractable lens is made with plastic gears so if it is dropped it must be replaced. Because most of the cameras have broken screens this part is readily available for replacement. And finally, the camera uses an internal capacitor to hold power for the flash which when dropped moves and breaks it electrical solder joint. I initially purchased one of these for my niece and she broke it in about three months. Out of curiosity I opened it to see what was inside and since then I have repaired about a dozen of this and the similar S730 models. Once the cameras are repaired and taken care of properly they last a long time and serve my needs very well. There will be a lot of negative reviews because it is so easily broken but if taken care of properly, you will have a hard time to find a point and shoot camera that takes better pictures.Read full review
I have used this camera a few times now. It is easy, at least the part I can figure out. The seller was kind enough to include the links to print out the instruction booklet, other reviews, and a website for the camera company. That will be a great help, when I can take the time to check them out. The instruction book is 120 pages long. Even without the detailed instructions, I have been able to take over 100 pictures. They seem clear enough, at least on the camera. I have not had any printed out yet, nor made a DVD, but I will when I take some more pics. The only drawback is that the camera takes batteries, which could be a good thing if you carry extra batteries. I can tell that my batteries are getting low because there is a long hesitation between the time I try to take the picture and it actually takes the picture. When the batteries are fresh, there is no hesitation. At least that gives me a warning to change the batteries. Over all, I would rate this camera as good. DMTRead full review
The Samsung S-630 is a very easy to use compact point and shoot camera. The layout of the buttons and menus is very clear and uncluttered. The manual mode allows for control over f-stop, shutter speed, ISO, flash, white balance, as well as image size and quality. The main drawback of the camera is its short battery life. The camera has no viewfinder; it only has an LCD screen, which drains the battery rather quickly.
I bought this Samsung S630 6.0 Megapixel camera for my mom. The interface is quite friendly. Images' quality is good. Video is also good, you can record it with sound. Another advantage - the ability to use interchangeable batteries.
i bought the SamsungS630 6.0 megapixel. the camera got here fast, and easy! it was a good price and i love the camera. good quality! i had the same camera a year ago and it broke, until now i couldnt find a camera like it. i would recommend the camera to anyone who can handle it with care. its good for videos and pictures, you can change the colors to black and white, sepia, or negative. by far my favorite brand of camera
i bought it because i need parts for another, this cam is easy to use, has great focus, BUT batteries do not last. i like samsung cameras but not this
I bought one for myself and loved it. Very durable and light! It is so easy to use even my 4 year old grandson operates it like a pro. I bought him a cheaper model but he wasn't happy so finally he'll have his own for kindergarten graduation.
