Customer Reviews

Great little camera
This Samsung S1070 is a great little camera for the price. It is easy to use with all the functions you would need. With 10.2 mp and a large view screen makes it easy to edit photo's before you even put them on your computer.
What I liked about this camera is that the price does not change the quality. Other cheap camera's I have brought for my kids have been useless. With this Samaung, the batteries last a long time, The picture is taken when you push the button and not 30 seconds later like some I could mention. Even the flash is ready straight away too.
This is the perfect point and shoot camera for the price.

I hope this review is of some help to everyone.

Bargain
This camera is a bargain. A reliable company - Samsung- with a camera with good specs of 10mega pixel and 3X optical zoom. The interface is very good and user friendly. It can be kept it auto mode and function very well no matter the environment it is shooting in. However,you can easily tweak the modes yourself for even better shots. The dial on the top keeps in the main modes and the turn of it shows what you select on screen with minimal effort. It doesn't look bad either!!

For £70 this is a bargain, and am well pleased I have one!!

Very happy about this camera!
I needed a new camera to replace a CASIO Exlim which kept on breaking. Unfortunately the last problem I had with it came up a couple of days after the 2 year warranty expired, so it wasn't worth fixing it any longer.

I have been looking at the Canon IXUS 80 for a while but after seeing it "live" at John Lewis I had second thoughts as it looked a bit bulky.

I have then come across this Samsung S1070 but I was wary because of the very few reviews and the very low price (for a 10MP camera) but I took the plunge anyway!

I like the face recognition feature, the very large display and the on-screen function description so that when you select a feature and look at the display it will explain you what the icon does.

What I don't like is the lack of a proper instruction manual (so frequent with electronics items these days); you get a quick start manual which only covers the main functions and a CD based user manual, not very handy to take on holiday with you unless you print all of it on paper.

Another thing that left me a bit baffled is that the camera works with 2 AA batteries (you get 2 Duracel in the box) and therefore cannot recharge the camera but need to buy disposable batteries all the time or rechargeable batteries and charger separately; once again not very convenient if you are trying to save space when going on holiday.

All in all I am very happy with this purchase and I hope that, unlike the CASIO camera, this will last me for a long time.
