 Okay camera...when it works!! May 17, 2008
My teenage daughter bought this camera with money she had saved. It worked well for a few months and then quit. Every time you turn it on, it will stay on for a few seconds and then beep that the batteries are dead then turn itself off. This happens every time, even when the batteries are fresh out of the package. This camera was a waste of money.
 Amazing little camera! February 10, 2008
I am involved in short-term mission trips through our church here in the Atlanta area. I used to have a big clunky Kodak digital camera but one month before my first mission trip to the Dominican Republic, I decided I needed to upgrade my camera so I could get some great pictures to document this special week in the life of my kids and me and not have to carry around that big camera.
I went to my local Wal-Mart and started looking at cameras. The Samsung Digimax S500 immediately caught my eye as it was pocket sized but still had a lot of nice features, more than I would need on a normal trip.
I took some time to go through the manual, learning all about the basic camera operations. The trip was a huge success! I bought a 2 Gig SD card and took so many pictures and video clips by the 4th day that I had to upload them to a laptop to make room for more!
Even after my second mission trip in as many years, the picture quality continues to blow me away for such a small, easy to operate point-and-shoot!
And the video capability...wow! My two children are in the high school marching band. I have taken numerous video clips of their performances for the past two years. The sound and image quality of the clips are great. It is nice not to have to carry around a video camera, as well now. The only thing you have to know is that if you zoom in while video taping, the sound stops until you let go of the zoom button...a small price to pay for such an awesome camera.
I rode my Harley from Atlanta to Canada and back...4900 miles last summer. The camera fit right into one of my windshield pouches. I was able to grab it on a moments notice and get some great road shots sunsets, wildlife, etc. To get an idea of the quality this camera can put out you can see my pictures at: http://andydoetsch.us
Uploading to my computer is a cinch! I could go on about this camera! I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to get into photography for family, fun, events, etc. Good luck!
Unusable because of battery consumption June 12, 2007

I made the mistake of buying two of these. One for my wife and one for my son at the same time. Sure, they are cheap, but they should at least work like a camera. They take double A batteries. You are literally lucky to get 10 pictures out of a set of new batteries. Sometimes you get 3 or 4. You literally have to carry a pocketful of batteries to use this camera. Sure, the pictures are great, you just can't take any. There is nothing more frustrating. I have an old Cannon Elph that will take literally hundreds of pictures on one charge. These guys are begging for a class action lawsuit.

I bought one of these for my son (black model)last Christmas. He LOVES it. Takes short video and nice pictures. Then my mother in law was taking about getting a digital camera. We suprised her by getting one (silver model) She just came back from a trip around the USA and she LOVES it! It is easy to use and takes very nice pictures. We also got her a 512mb memory card, large enough to store hundreds of pictures.
We paid about $100 them, you can find cheap shipping on some if you look around.

This is a great little point-and-shoot camera and video camera with sound!, but for the same price I could get the 630 at wal-mart, so I sold it for $100 and went and got the 630. The 630 is exactly the same size and usability but it's 6 megapixel and supports 4GB SD card so you can record lots of movies without having to exchange the card. A 256 MB SD card will hold a 3.5 minute video, so if you do the math..potentially you can take almost an hour long video at 30fps, 640X480! That's awesome and NO TAPES..you got to love that! On auto mode, it takes great pictures! Also, if you get 2700 NimH rechargeable batteries, the battery life will last for an hour long video recording as well. This camera is so small I can stick it in my front pants pocket and I've got a great still shot and movie camera wherever I go! No more lugging around a camcorder with the case and everything...very convenient!
