Samsung DigiMax Pro815
I guess you’re curious about our new baby, the Samsung Digi-Max Pro815 camera. This is one of my very first photos with it, without any special settings.
There is some flaws with it, as it always is, but I’m satisfied with it because I knew about them before I decided to buy it. I was comparing the benefits with the drawbacks and established that it (for me) was more benefits than drawbacks. We’ll see if I change my mind after using the camera for a while!
The main reasons why I did choose this camera was:
- The world’s longest built in zoom: 15 x optical
- The largest display on a digital camera, 3.5 inches
- The extra (smaller) display on the top
- The 450-shot Lithium-Ion battery
- 8 megapixels
With a focal length of 28-420mm I can shoot from wide angle to telephoto with one lens. I’m lazy and don’t feel like changing lenses (or battery) all the time… And think about all the fuss I could make loosing the lenses! *smiling*
The extra (smaller) display on the top was a big reason because with that I can shoot from my hip like a real cowboy ;-) without bending down in certain situations. I have problems with my back, so this is an important feature for me.
Now I need a solution to be able to attach the camera to my belt…
