Full Review

I may have received a defective camera but here's my experience. Researched hard to find this value with 3.0" LCD, 10.1mp, 5x optical zoom and was hoping the 2AA batteries would last a while.
I'm a big fan of reading consumer reviews such as this, but because camera is brand new reviews were limited. A selling feature for me was that it runs on 2AA batteries so it's easy to work with if battery runs out while at Disneyland. Camera arrived with 2 Ultra Duracell AA batteries included - after testing camera by taking about 10 pictures w/flash these batteries were dead. No problem, batteries must be defective, put in another set of batteries -after about 15 or so pictures these were dead also. During testing I turned camera around to take a picture of myself and the red "red eye" light came on - and stayed on. The camera was froze with the red light on and I was unable to turn it off no matter what buttons I pushed. I had to remove the batteries and reinsert to turn light out then it was OK. I repackaged the camera and am returning it. I'm out a 10% restocking fee, Fedex shipping and time and effort involved.
I'm anxious to give products a positive review but there were serious problems with my Samsung S1050. The 20 or so pictures I took turned out OK but nothing impressive compared to my 4.0mp camera. Again, my camera may have been defective and it's a new model but before buying another camera I'll make sure it has numerous solid positive consumer reviews such as the Canon SD750 has before buying.
