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 camera for kids
I bought two of these cameras for my kids. They are easy to use and have a variety of use options (timer, video, still shots). My one critique is they burn through batteries fairly fast, so use rechargeable AA's instead of disposable!
not the best, not the worst
Not the best camera in the world, but it is pretty inexpensive. Battery life is absolutely HORRIBLE, I have to change them very often. Good for kids or preteens.
Not Very Good
Had it for months and then it started to go through the batteries. Tried all kinds rechargable as well. Now the pics won't download to PC.
DO NOT GET THIS CAMERA......I have emailed Samsung and never get a return...this will be the last Samsung product I buy!

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.
