Samsung S850 Review at CNET

Mark Goldstein | Digital Compact Cameras | May 31, 2007 | 1 Comments

Samsung S850CNET have reviewed the Samsung S850, which offers an 8 megapixel image sensor, 5x optical zoom, aperture priority, shutter priority and manual modes, continuous shooting and AEB.

“The S850 is an 8-megapixel, sub-$250 shooter with full manual exposure controls, giving frugal photographers plenty of settings to tinker with. Manual mode even has a convenient onscreen meter that tells you if your photo will be over- or underexposed, an extremely useful tool when tweaking all the settings by hand. Strangely, the camera doesn’t have a manual focus setting, forcing you to choose between center and multipoint autofocus. Manual focus would have been nice, but its absence is hardly a surprise; few, if any, low-end cameras offer manual focus.”

What a pile, just got this camera and took a few shoots on auto. It has a very limited focus range. Very slow to react, so much so that my rabbit had time to hop off eat some grass.
Over all I am taking this camera back in the morning and going for something else.
