Samsung Digimax L77 7.1MP Digital Camera with 7x Advance Shake Reduction Optical Zoom

I ordered this camera after reading many reviews from others that have purchased this camera. When I got it I was happy with it's size and quality however...you can't buy an extra battery ANYWHERE! I brought it in to many different camera stores and nobody even heard of the camera. And all the paperwork that comes with the camera didn't even provide you with a place to order extra batteries. I even went to the Samsung website and this camera wasn't on there...how could this not be on their site? Needless to say I returned this item ASAP!

I've had this camera for a month now and it's been good to me so far. It's user friendly. My six year old knows how to use it. I haven't tried all the features yet but the ones I've tried has been satisfactory.
I don't know about the shake reduction part cause the pictures I took when I shook still came out semi blury. The other feature I didn't really like was the time it took between shutters but the camera did snap the pictures up before everyone moved. I guess I just gotta get used to it cause before this one, I had a Kodak Share and it was the bomb. But it was very bulky (& it got stolen). This time I wanted something I could carry in my purse without the bulk & weight.
The other thing that I liked about this is that I can just use one hand when snapping a picture. Like when I'm driving and I catch a beautiful sunset. The display is so huge that I don't have to really focus on what I'm trying to capture while driving. (don't try that if you're not experienced, lol). Yeah, so over all, very good! Oh and the price is sooooo right!
Another thing is that the Consumer report rated this item a "CR best buy". With that you can't go wrong.

I purchased the Cannon Digimax L77 for my wife at Christmas. It had great reviews from Consumer Reports and is a steadfast consumer name in electronics and photography. The camera takes great pictures and has quick successive shots. It came with the A.C. charger for its tiny battery.The only real problem I see with it is that I couldn't find any D.C. or car chargers for the battery. It would be nice to have a system for the car where you could plug the entire camera into the power outlet in the car and charge the battery in the unit instead of having to take that tiny battery out to plug it into a charger ( I can just see that little battery rolling around the floor of the car while trying to install the battery into the car charger, going over some bumpy roads.) I looked on Samsung's site and found no such devices for their camera. Now I wished I had stuck with the Cannon Elf's I have purchased for all my kids. Now, that's a great little camera with great features and accessories !

Camera seems to do it all. A lot of useful features for the price. The 7x optical zoom is amazing!

Took the camera to France for 8 days on it's maiden voyage. Took over 700 photos at 3Megapixel setting on one 2 GB card. No problems using auto or any specific programable setting. Small size makes it easy to carry around and have handy at any time. One wish I have is that user could select a preference for flash on or off when set on auto. As it is default programmed, you must turn flash off, or it will flash if light condions favor flash use.
