Product Description
An improved version of the popular A6, with a large 7 megapixel image sensor, the A7 camera boasts features, function and crystal clear images at an economical price point.In addition to still picture true color and quality sharpness, you get a built-in VGA 30 frames per second movie clip. Plus, it provides an hour of voice recording time with 10 seconds for a voice memo in still images. This camera also has a self-portrait mirror, which allows you to check how you look before you shoot your own image.More super-convenient features include: a double self timer, which goes off after 10 seconds followed by 2 second intervals thereafter; a shutter button which toggles between capture and playback modes (a great innovation to instantly review your images); and another one-touch button that allows you to take charge with manual, aperture priority and shutter priority modes.Choose between eight image sizes from 640 x 480 pixels to 3072 x 2304 pixels and from three resolution ranges - superfine, fine and normal - that's 24 different resolution/size combinations, a useful memory management tool. For example, you can take a postage stamp size picture from only 1.6 inches away in high resolution for wonderful color printing output, or a large, but lower resolution landscape picture for full-screen sharing without choking friends' e-mail.Samsung's in-camera editing capabilities allow you to crop, rotate, and make numerous color revisions to your images.Customer reviews
Great value! 
I have had great luck with this camera. I love it. I have used it for better than a year now. I do wish that photos could be taken more quickly without the lag time for the flash to recharge, and have struggled with turing out a good photo in low light situations despite what I have tried. BUT I only paid $200.00 and for that price it has exceeded my expectations. In most situations, photo quality is great. Recently I took some photographs of my children in the sepia mode and framed them. My brother wanted to know which local photographer took them. We'll thank the camera and Costco developing for that... Kudos to this camera!
DIDGIMAX A7 SAMSUNG CAMERA 
THIS IS A GOOD BUY FOR THE MONEY.IT DOES EVERY THING YOU WANT IT TO DO. ONE FEATURE I LIKE IS YOU CAN USE THE CAMERA AS A VIDEO CAMERA ,WITH SOUND,IVE TRIED THIS FEATURE AND IT WORKS REAL GOOD.IN OTHER WORDS YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN MOVIES.
Consider a Sony Cybershot for the money you will spend on this one! 
I bought this camera thinking wow 7 mega pixels. This has been the worse digital camera I have owned yet! The video is absolutely unuseable to say the least. No sound and very poor picture. The quality of the photos is certainly NOT 7 mega pixels in my own opinion. I told my 10 year old she could have this camera for her very own and went and bought myself a Sony 10.1 mega pixel Cybershot, and she comes and gets the Sony when she wants to take a picture or make videos. If you are seriously considering purchasing the Samsung, please by all means reconsider!!! You would love the Sony 10.1 mp Cybershot and the video quality is just as good as a camcorder! Don't waste your money on this Samsung camera!
Great Camera 
I don't have much to add to what others have written, but I have dropped this camera quite a few times, and aside from a few minor scratches on the case, no harm was done. Highly recommended!
Fairly high quality camera for the price. 
I've been using mine for about a year and a half now, and have been quite pleased with the general quality and range of available features. I use mine with a 256MB memory card, which significantly limits the camera's use for taking video clips, but with a 1GB card this should not be much of an issue. The combination of optical and digital zoom allows you to blow up selected portions of a longer range picture without compromising the quality of the image, although your ability to do this on a lower resolution is obviously not going to be as great. I normally don't use the full 7MP capacity simply to allow a larger number of photos between downloads, but it's nice to know it's there when I need it. Definitely not a bad camera for the price. On the down side, I would note that this seems a bit fragile. I had to send mine to have the lens barrel replaced within the one-year warranty period, despite not having dropped it or otherwise abused it.
