LOVE this camera!

 

By far THE best digital camera I've ever used for taking pictures of my kids. I LOVE the "children" setting- you can take STUNNING pictures regardless of whether or not your little wiggle worm is wiggling. Fantastic. :) It has all the "pro" settings-...

Great value

 

DrillSpot seems to buck the corporate trend of ridiculous pricing of replacement parts. By being reasonable they gain a repeat customer who is willing to pay a little more for a quality product. The replacement part was complete assembly and well made.

Great quality and reasonable price

Will not take pictures when the shutter button is pressed.

 

Absolute worthless camera for taking any kind of pictures where time is of the essence. Be prepared for focus adjustments that can last several seconds. My 3 year old poses and moves very quickly and the Samsung SL202 will not respond quickly enough to...

Samsung SL202

 

I bought a blue Samsung SL202 for amateur photography. I have had this camera for about 4 years, and it has served me well. It's great for action shots AND still shots. Very high quality and satisfying for the price. It's great for amateur photography...

Clear pictures, good for action shots and a lot of effects my new Nikon doesn't have. Many different settings and easy-to-use. It's a hardy camera with a not-to-bright flash. Small and lightweight. Fairly quick to take a picture and the camera...

Not great video, becomes blurry without flash,, and not good settings for snow. This camera sometimes has trouble turning on and it only came with a charger to plug into my laptop. The charger cord was short

short lifespan

 

Loved the camera when I first bought it. Pictures were great even with my lack of camera knowledge. It was only used at special events several times a year. Ive had it less than 2 years and it died two days ago while filming at a graduation. It comes...
