Samsung 850 Review
|
Review Summary
Reader Score: 6.27 (out of 10)
Review (Summary): "... The S850 is an 8-megapixel, sub-$250 shooter with full manual exposure controls, giving frugal photographers plenty of settings to tinker with. Manual mode even has a convenient onscreen meter that tells you if your photo will be over- or underexposed, an extremely useful tool when tweaking all the settings by hand. ...
As one of the least expensive cameras with manual exposure controls out there, the Samsung S850 is a great choice for young or inexperienced photographers who want to step beyond simple snapshooting, without investing more than $250. While it suffers from flaws like slow shot-to-shot time, a narrow lens, and slight underexposing, you'd be hard pressed to find a better training camera for the price."

| Review (Summary): "The Samsung S850 is a reasonably priced, full-featured point and shoot camera. It offers 8.1 megapixel resolution, a 5x optical zoom, 2.5 inch LCD, and a full complement of manual exposure modes. While it does have manual exposure modes, it doesn't include some of the trendiest features - optical image stabilization or face detection. ...
... The Samsung S850 is a nice-looking, well equipped compact digital camera. It has the nice looks that the Samsung NV line brought to the market with black body, blue accents and quality construction. It also has a full complement of manual exposure modes that isn't seen as often in point and shoots. ..." |
