Samsung v50 review -
|
I have had the v50 for a few months now, and find it very nice. In fact with 2 improvements, it would be almost perfect.
The Good:
- takes good pictures
- takes good video (30fps, 640x480). I have not found a limit in recording time, and have gotten rid of my video camera.
- easy to use and set new modes.
- can set to take 3 photos in about a second.
- comes with a rechargable battery that lasts a long time. I went on a 3 day ski trip with my family, taking all the video and pictures I could, without recharging.
- If the battery does run low, you can pop in normal alkalines.
- Uses low cost sd memory (or mmc, or memory stick)
Less than perfect:
- Unless you pre-focus (buy pushing down half way on the shutter) the shutter delay is roughly 1-2 seconds. Even pre-focus there is roughly 400mS delay (I use the 3 shot mode for action).
- Once you start taking a video, you can not zoom in or out. You must stop and start a new video to change the zoom. I haven't found this a problem, as I rarely shoot one scene for more than a min. or 2.
Summary: A good camera for the money, with lots of good features.
Update: after over a thousand pictures I would like to add these comments:
1) It seems that all digital cameras have trouble in low light, without a flash. This camera is no exception.
2) The video camera is good, but not as good as a "real" video camera. The one thing I don't like is that once you start a video clip, the zoom can not change. This is o.k., since most of my clips are short, but there are times when it would be nice.
3) I still like it a lot. One of the best features is that the battery is large (for a digital camera) and it takes a lot of photos on one charge. |
