Lynn, Newcastle Upon Tyne, “Digital age keeping up”

+ Cropping I can sometimes make 3 or 4 pictures out of 1 image. Or think I've made a mess of the picture and find something really good tucked in the corder.

- Well a bit to learn on my part but I will happily learn by my mistakes. The book is always their for a helping hand but theirs nothing like trial and error.

+ A lot of features, size and weight is excellent, design is brilliant, image is very good. The value for money at the time of purchase was certainly nothing less then 10 out of 10.

- Can be complicated owing to the number of options available. There is in fact a combinations of buttons from the back panel and the tiny wheel on top.

+ A very good compact camera, light weight and very easy to use. Have'nt used the timer feature or video camera, but as a basic camera it's fine.

- The camera would'nt shut off once, but this was fixed by opening the battery compartment and removing the battery partially. No other probems.

Carl, Ipswich, “Novice, Creative, Individual, Marmite! ”

+ The Samsung P1000S Camera is light weight, very user friendly and takes a very high quality digital image, I would thoroughly recommend this to all ages.

- There aren't many bad points to the camera, my one small nit pick would be the turn dial aspect of the camera, where by you can choose whether it is light or dark for example. This often changes on its own accord when kept in a case or pocket because it is on the top of the camera.

+ The help feature is useful. It's very easy to point and shoot.The colour (purple) is great. Very good size - small enough to be light weight, but the viewing screen is big. Face recognition and self portrait features make taking pictues of me and my friends very easy with good results.

- In bad light there is a bit of a lag for button press to picture being taken (only a minor gripe).

+ Very compact so I don't have to compromise on space in my handbag when taking it out with me. Great quality pictures, and several easy to use features, which makes taking pictures more fun. Video quality very good and it picks up sound really well.

- A little difficult to figure out which setting to use at night, as the 'scene' mode, which is meant for night time pictures, actually doesn't come out as well as just using the auto function with the flash.

- Manual being on the CD. I have just fumbled around and found how it works by trial and error really. It should have been clearer that you can only take about 3 pictures with the internal memory and the memory card is essential. A case would have been nice too.

+ I bought this as a first digital camera for my 10 year old son and within 30 minutes of opening it, he was taking photographs, zooming in, viewing and deleting images without any problems or assistance.

- Battery doesn't have a separate charger unit - you plug the whole camera into the mains instead - which makes it a bit difficult to have a spare battery ready charged, but this is a really minor problem that can be overcome with a bit of forethought.
