Reviews of the Samsung Digimax S600 (Silver)

    CNET Review

    June 23, 2006

    The Good: Manual exposure control; RGB intensity controls; relatively low price.

    The Bad: Confusing menus; no aperture- or shutter-priority; exposure adjustments in 1/2-stop instead of 1/3-stop increments.

    The Bottom Line: While inexpensive for a 6-megapixel camera with manual control, the Samsung Digimax S600's poor image quality is sure to disappoint.
