Reviews of the Samsung Digimax S600 (Silver)
-
CNET Review
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.
