Product DescriptionSamsung's user-friendly point-and-shoot S630 digital camera combines advanced image processing technology and quality optics with a straightforward, uncluttered user interface and stylish ergonomic design. The S630 simplifies the picture-taking process to let you capture images without worrying about adjusting multiple settings. Samsung's ASR image stabilization system helps to reduce camera shake and image blur during longer exposures and in situations where holding the camera steady is impossible or a tripod is unavailable. The S630 features a built-in microphone, which allows a 10-second voice memo to be attached to any still image. Slide Show automatically scrolls through photos and displays them on a bright and vivid 2.5-inch TFT LCD screen. The camera's Movie mode lets users capture video in one of two resolutions, 320 x 240 and 640 x 480 at 15 frames per second in AVI (MJPEG) format. Just as in still-picture mode, the ASR image stabilization system can be engaged to compensate for unwanted camera movement and subject blur in movie mode.

What Others Say
Good pictures but low battery life
This a is an overall good camera. Great pics, lots of different options, but the reason i give it 2 stars is because Of battery life.
The batteries on my camera last barely 5 minutes, usually around 3 1/2-
4 mins.. Ive gone through 2 22 packs of double a batteries in the 3 weeks ive had it.
Ive decided just to leave it rather than sped wayy more money on double A's.
Pros:
Great pictures
Lots of cool options
light
inexpensive
Compatible with many different types of cards
Takes Relatively good movies.
Cons
Low battery life
Lot of shutter lag
there appears to be no battery savers option
NO VIEWFINDER Just BATTERY EATING lcd ... Read More
OK as backup camera
I keep this camera in my service truck for those broken parts that has little or no description in the service manual or parts books. The NiMh batteries I use is rated for 2600MH and seems to keep the charge for three months.
The truck is cold on cold days but the camera starts right up. When the batteries dies or not work from cold, I use the NiMh batteries from my AA led flash light.
I rate this a 4 star; I need a viewfinder when it bright sunlight and It's hard to focus.
great "point and shoot"
Quick camera features review:
runs on 2 AA batteries, either nimh or alkaline (I rec: nimh)
2 GB memory card has space for over 1200 photos at 6mp. (not included)
optical and digital zooms, optional image stabilization,
various single picture modes, video, programmable, timer mode, manual aperture (etc)...
big bright display on the back, fairly easy to use controls. Not to small.
Automatic dust cover closes on power-off.
The things I like about it, and why I bought it: it supports about as many modes as my older full-size Olympus (cost over 3x as mych), uses AA batteries (any kind), has a big viewer, uses commonly available media cards, is fairly small (bar of soap), common mini-usb plug to ... Read More
Cheap! Cheap! Cheap! So why isn't the price cheap?
Okay, so you pick up the camera. The first thing you feel is the cheap plastic. We're not talking the same plastic most digital cameras are made of; this is CHEAP! Without batteries, it is by far the lightest digital camera I have ever held. That is already a turn off in my opinion. I doesn't look or feel, in any way, durable. I'm afraid of squeezing it too hard in the anticipation it will crack. Not good.
It has the same amount of buttons and switches most point and shoot cameras possess, the power button, the shutter button, a menu button, etc. The one thing it does have that most don't is the turntable switch to choose different modes of shots, which is usually only found on SLRs. I don't know if Samsung thought this ... Read More
Great Camera
I brought this camera in April this year and it was my best purchase since. It is perfect, the quality is great and yes there may be a lag between pictures but hey my friend has a Nikon and a Sony and those cameras have the same lag time as this one.
I would recommend anyone to purchase this cam, and please don't study people when they say the camera has no battery life- you not suppose to use normal batteries on ANY digital camera because it will only last a few minutes. I bought a rechargeable pack batteries and it works jus fine.
For the price this is the perfect camera and it is HIGHLY recommended by me.
