Samsung Digimax S1050 10.1MP Digital Camera with 5x Advance Shake Reduction Optical Zoom (Black)

Cheap Samsung Digimax S1050 10.1MP Digital Camera with 5x Advance Shake Reduction Optical Zoom (Black) Review

I got the camera right before my 2 week cycling trip. There are a few things I was looking for in a new camera, which would be useful on my cycling trips. One is for sure is AA batteries. While on a go and sleep in a tent, it is pretty often hard to deal with a built-in batteries. Another issue - the use of SD card. I have previously owned Sony camera, which uses Memory Sticks. They are more expensive, messier when you simply want to copy the content, and, once you are done with the Sony camera, pretty much a waste. Recording audio was another my wish. While traveling I try to record my day events every night. Writing it on a piece of paper is way longer. Using voice recorder in a device which is a must on every trip (a camera) is a huge benefit. Plus multiple other features which are pretty much these days on every camera, like video recording, etc.. So I found it all in this camera. And I love it for this. I am not sure about how long the camera itself will last, though. But I have bunch of friends which approved this choice, since in their experience Samsung products last. So, I hope to keep using it for long time.
In the "con" side - the battery charge. It tends to get wrong information about the charge left. And acts accordingly. I had a few situations when it was saying my battery charge is low (with the same batteries), and then after switching it off and on it would be okay again. I use rechargeable batteries and the pair lasted on average for about 200 pictures and a few minutes of video. This is approximately twice as less than my previous Sony camera, but still acceptable. Just make sure you have another set of batteries handy.
