The Samsung S860 is a high-resolution digital camera that is equipped with a true-color filtered 8.1-Megapixel CCD. This allows the Samsung S860 to take detailed photos for printing up to poster size. With the Face Detection AF & AE function, the Samsung S860 enables the user to take better portrait pictures more easily. This function detects faces and automatically focuses on them. The brightness of the faces is adjusted optimally for beautiful portrait pictures. In macro shooting, it is now possible to take clear, natural pictures. Digital Image Stabilization (DIS) technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and color, which is sometimes found in flash photography. With DIS the effects of image blur are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even take well-exposed, sharper pictures in low light conditions without using a flash at all, which guarantees brighter and more natural pictures. The different icons, scene modes and other features are described in simple and easy to understand terms to improve the interaction between the user and camera. ISO - Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, and 1000 Flash Modes - Auto, Auto & Red-eye reduction, Fill-in flash, Slow sync, and Flash off Range - Wide 0.3m - 4.0m and Tele 0.5m - 2.1m (ISO AUTO) Self-timer - 2 seconds and 10 seconds Still Image File Format - JPEG (DCF), EXIF 2.2, and DPOF 1.1 Scene Modes - Children, Landscape, Close-up, Text, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow, and Night System Requirements - Pentium II 450MHz (Pentium 800MHz recommended), Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, XP, Vista, Mac OS 9.2, 10.4 or later, 64MB RAM, 200MB free space, USB port, CD-ROM drive, 1024x768 pixels, 16-bit color display compatible monitor, Microsoft DirectX 9.0C Dimensions - Approximately Width 3.66 x Height 2.44 x Depth 1.04 (93x62x26.5mm) Weight - 123 grams

Conclusion: Good camera for kids
Review: This camera takes decent pictures. But if you just point and shoot without waiting for it to focus, the pictures will be blurry. Still, because of its price, it is good for kids to learn a little photography. Also, because it has only two AA batteries, taking pictures that requires flash is a bit slow.
Evaluation:
Conclusion: Good photos, good size.
Review: This may not be the best camera out there but it's a Samsung. I love all Samsung products. This cam is a very convenient size and the photo sttings allow a wide variety of subjects to look good.

Conclusion: GREAT CAMERA FOR A GREAT PRICE!
Review: I had a FujiFilm 7.3 megapixel camera ($149.99) and I dropped it and broke the lens. Fuji was going to charge me almost the same to fix it. So I thought I would spend that money on a better camera. This camera is so wonderful. It is an 8.1 megapixel and only cost me $88.00 total. I am so happy with this camera. It takes such clear, crisp pictures. I have a 5 year old daughter and she doesnt like to sit still and the shutter speed is fast enough to where I can take a great picture of her before she moves. It also takes wonderful videos, It has two different size of videos 640x480 and 320x240. The videos are clear and the sound on it is awesome. It has a few effects to add to your pictures too. You can make your pictures, black and white, sepia, red, green, blue, negative, and you can customize your own color. You can view your pictures in a slideshow right on the camera. You can choose from 5 different slideshow effects and 3 different music tones. It is really cool. I love this camera so much. It has a lot of great features for such a low price. The face detection is great also, it lets you know if the face isn't in focus. And it helps alot when you take a self portrait. It is so easy to use. My 5 yr. old daughter uses it without any problems. She can change it from still pictures to video in a snap. So if you are looking for a great camera that takes awesome pictures, awesome videos, for a low price...I suggest you give this camera a try. You won't regret it.

Conclusion: Samsung S860
Review: The Samsung S860 has features I wanted. It does not require a driver. Cameras that require a driver for your computer generally provide them for Windows or Macintosh. As I use Linux, requiring a driver would be a show stopper. That's why I avoid Fuji and Kodak. But even for people who use Windows, if you're at a friends house, take some pictures, and want to share them, if you need a driver, you may have to wait until you get home, and email them.
The S860 has a big preview screen, 3x zoom, is small enough to fit in a shirt pocket, and is cheap. The 30 FPS 640x480 videos with sound are very nice.
On the down side, it does not have a see-through view finder, and this can make it difficult to take pictures in full sunlight. Also, it needs a case - though this is easily fixed.

Conclusion: Do they have to make it so difficult?
Review: A nice camera at a nice price, the Samsung comes with almost no printed material. A "quick start" guide is all, and the huge manual in a dozen languages is on the software disc so that if you want to learn how to operate it in its many, many modes you're going to sit in front of your CRT and learn with Adobe Reader. Is that convenient? No.
It comes with almost no internal memory so right off you have to invest in an SD card; another $15 at least. Rechargable batteries/charger: another $10-15.
A very nice feature is the movie mode. The 3x zoom isn't as much as you may think, either. There's no optical view-finder so be prepared to use the screen ALL the time and thus burn through batteries faster.
If you're looking for a point-and-shoot camera, this isn't it. If you're willing to spend hours reading the Adobe-based manual and playing with it to get the most out of its potential, I'm sure it takes great photos. Why it needs so many choices just for the sound it makes when it alerts you to shutter or other things it does is beyond me. I think simplicity isn't in their vocabulary.
