This review is from: Samsung i8 8.2 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (White)This great little camera takes pretty good shots, though there is just a little bit more artifacting going on when I take pictures of text than my old LonicaMinolta Dimage X1.I paid a little extra to get this camera over the other Samsung 8.1MP camera because of the PMP (portable media player) feature after seeing the onboard demo video, and while it does have a great little screen it doesn't seem to take any kind of standard video (I tried lots of different mpeg4 and mov and avi files and they wouldn't even show up on the menu)- you have to use the video converter they supply, which runs on proprietary OS only. As an MP3 player, it's OK, and it does let you delete a file after you've listened to it (which is a key feature if you listen to podcasts).There also seems to be no way to charge and listen at the same time- the USB/charge cable and the headphone jack go into the same connector. I guess I'm buying an external battery or two and an offline battery charger.
This review is from: Samsung i8 8.2 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (White)I bought this camera elsewhere for $99.99 and have been VERY happy with its performance with regards to its camera function. It takes good pictures in both low light and during the day. It has a very convenient size and easily fits in your pocket.The MP3 and video functions are a nice bonus, but to be honest, I have not had a chance to try them out fully yet.
This review is from: Samsung i8 8.2 MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (White)Recently there is a trend to make every electronic device into a multifunction device. A cell phone that also plays mp3s and take photos is the most common instance of this, but it appears camera makers are catching on and creating cameras that double as PMPs (Personal Media Players). What's good for the goose... However, in my mind having a camera on a cell phone is adding a feature to a device you're going to carry around with you anyway. It gives you a functional camera for those times when you don't have your real camera with you. I'm not sure that a camera that doubles as a PMP is really as good a concept because when I bring a camera with me its so that I can capture excellent images, not listen to some music. In point of fact, the Samsung I8 is primarily a camera, and the PMP features feel a bit tacked on and burdened by confusingly designed menus that are not very intuitive. The camera features are somewhat easier to access, and this a slick, attractively designed camera to be sure. Thankfully that I8 knows how to be a camera not just a convergence device. The photos that it produces are pretty sharp, and the metering feels pretty spot on in most situations. However the camera is haunted by some serious shutter lag and this is probably the most irritating problem with the camera. It is slow in general: navigating menus is slow, booting up the camera is slow (thanks to the PMP needing to do a database search each time it boots. You cannot turn this off) and taking pictures is slow. The I8 is just about average. It's more of a gizmo than a camera. If you want a solid camera I suggest getting a Canon Powershot. Their light sensors are among the best. If you want a PMP get a Cowon D2. At this point a camera that doubles as a PMP doesn't get either application quite right.
