really good starter camera, however there are cheaper and better on the market for what you get. Make sure you get a good repair plan with your camera for up to 3 years! (read more)

Written on: 15/12/2000 by amberman.

I bought this digital camera as a Jenoptic JD12 - same camera but only £119. It has 800k pixels which gives you plenty of spare to produce more that adequate pictures for websites at 320x240. It works best in good light where the pictures are acceptably sharp. You can make up for the lack of zoom by cropping down to this size.

It will take good pictures in good fluorescent lighting but gets very fuzzy in low light. The built-in flash works well but has a limited range (1-1.5m).

OK, so it's a budget camera. Does that mean I have to be nice? The Samsung Digimax feels tacky, light and plasticky, like a kiddie's toy camera. NOT what I would fancy forking out £150 for.

What exactly do you mean by high/low quality. There is no such setting, only macro and normal. I would disagree with you entirely, i think that this camera is great for taking photo's for websites with. Check out:

So it does let you have more freedom. I admit it could do with a screen but then the batterys would run out quicker and it would cost loads more.
