Samsung i70 Reviews

What digital Cameras had this to say about the Samsung i70:

"The slide-out body creates enough space for the LCD screen and a large menu pad but the latter is somewhat embedded, making a few buttons on the side awkward to press. The biggest annoyance, however, is with the lack of explanation once modes are chosen, providing just a simple icon as to their function. Focusing is speedy though, as is the start-up time. With enough light, the camera can perform well but images can sometimes turn out a little ‘soft’ with a lack of detail. Highlights don’t hold up too well either but fringing is well controlled. There is no doubt a small demographic that will appreciate the i70’s novelty value and multi-purpose functionality. Unfortunately, as is the case with a lot of all-in-one combo’s, the i70 doesn’t particularly excel in any area. What Digital Camera Score 81%"

Here are what a couple of Amazon.co.uk users had to say about the i70 :

Rating: 5 stars - " The quality of the pics are fab. Macro from 1cm. Amazing. Face recon. Photo wise (2 pics in one). The only down side I do not have the codex to watch the movie (I did send an e-mail to Samsung. They don't care, no reply after 3 weeks.). You cannot watch your movie (downloaded or recorder on TV)???. My old Sony did it. MP3 is great. Movie Player is great, But you can only compress mpeg movies not AVI or IFO. Otherwise if you are an expert you will have to use at list 3 softwares to put a DVD to your camera. The quality is so good and the design so perfect. 2 year guaranty. Don't Hesitate to buy it if you are ready to read a thick instruction book to get the best of it. This camera has the WOW effect for a very very cheap price!!!  No regrets. No regrets. I am so happy and I recomand it at 200%"

Rating: 1 star -"Be warned I bought a Kinston 4GB Memory and couldn't use it, and have wasted my money as I have had to buy a new memory card. No where do they tell you this but this camera will only take Toshiba, Panasonic or SanDisk Memory cards and only up to 2GB, otherwise the camera just doesn't turn on. I haven't got to use my camera yet as it doesn't even come with a small Memory card when you buy it. I am waiting on my new memory card which hopefully should work."
