Customer Review: Amazing little camera!
I am involved in short-term mission trips through our church here in the Atlanta area. I used to have a big clunky Kodak digital camera but one month before my first mission trip to the Dominican Republic, I decided I needed to upgrade my camera so I could get some great pictures to document this special week in the life of my kids and me and not have to carry around that big camera.

I went to my local Wal-Mart and started looking at cameras. The Samsung Digimax S500 immediately caught my eye as it was pocket sized but still had a lot of nice features, more than I would need on a normal trip.

I took some time to go through the manual, learning all about the basic camera operations. The trip was a huge success! I bought a 2 Gig SD card and took so many pictures and video clips by the 4th day that I had to upload them to a laptop to make room for more!

Even after my second mission trip in as many years, the picture quality continues to blow me away for such a small, easy to operate point-and-shoot!

And the video capability…wow! My two children are in the high school marching band. I have taken numerous video clips of their performances for the past two years. The sound and image quality of the clips are great. It is nice not to have to carry around a video camera, as well now. The only thing you have to know is that if you zoom in while video taping, the sound stops until you let go of the zoom button…a small price to pay for such an awesome camera.

I rode my Harley from Atlanta to Canada and back…4900 miles last summer. The camera fit right into one of my windshield pouches. I was able to grab it on a moments notice and get some great road shots sunsets, wildlife, etc. To get an idea of the quality this camera can put out you can see my pictures at: http://andydoetsch.us

Uploading to my computer is a cinch! I could go on about this camera! I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking to get into photography for family, fun, events, etc. Good luck!
