Bueno paso a escribir mas que todo para la gente de habla hispana, y responder a las correcciones que hacen los otros compradores de la camara.
En lo personal y como bien dijeron antes para una camara de 12.2 mp y 5x de zoom es bastante economicas.
En cuanto a errores mencionados antes:
1. el texto de ayuda pasa muy rápido al seleccionar una opción: estos es cierto pero te basta solo una hora maniobrando la cámara para que te des cuenta que no necesitas ese texto y a la larga ni lo lees.
2. errores con fotos al descargar en la computadora o lo indica la cámara: paso a explicar que estos errores se producen al realizar alguna modificación de las imagines por el computador estando estas aun dentro de la memoria de la cámara, ya que genera un archivo tmp la cual al visualizar en la cámara produce este erro, también recomiendo comprar memorias de buena calidad y lo ultimo en clase.
3. El zoom sea hace incomodo: TOTALMENTE FALSO, ese botón del zoom de la cámara es bastante como y versátil, utilizaron la cámara varios amigos y ninguno se quejo de ello..
comentarios positivos:
Los vídeos son de gran calidad y el volumen excelente
Las imágenes en macro, excelente calidad
Los distintos modos hacen que la cámara no tenga excusa en dar calidad de imagen en cual sitio
Como las cámaras de ultima generación al igual que estas, por mucho movimiento que haya o estés saldrá una imagen fija.
La pantalla de 3″ hace lucirla aparte de elegante, se visualiza mejor el contenido.
Comentarios negativos:
No me gusta en la grabación de vídeo que al darle zoom el vídeo pierde el audio, pero no dejaría de comprarla por eso,
En realidad la recomiendo ampliamente…..
I love this camera. It is reasonably priced. It arrived on time. It works great!
Overall, very easy to use. The flash tends to wash out images, however. Especially darker images. Still love it though!
I got this camera because it was on sale, a good bargain for a 12 MP camera. I have a Samsung 52″ LCD HD TV that I am so happy about and love a lot. The price was much less than the competition from Sony or Mitsubishi on the TV I felt like I got a real value and thought I would trust Samsung again because I knew what they are capable of.
The SL620 is a nice form factor, fits in my pocket and comes out ready for action quickly. It has the 12.2 Megapixels and 5x zoom, really astonishing technical achievements in a great package.
There are some things that I do not like about this camera that might have been deal breakers had I known about it before my purchase.
I really do not like the proprietary USB port and cable. Every time I go to hook this up to charge it or download the mini-hdmi (what it looks like) connector does not want to connect. It is hard to see whether it is up or down because it is so small. This is really irritating, and I am sure would be expensive if I ever lost or damaged the cable. A big thumbs down for that. I have gotten used to a standard mini-USB cable, but Samsung uses this one port for download, charging, and displaying to TV as well which probably saves money and parts – for them, but it does nothing to make the camera easier or better to use.
Second thing is that I love the on-screen help, but when you flick between modes the text is on the screen not even fast enough to read – very frustrating. You have to keep clicking away and back to read the help screens? Maybe there is a setting to adjust this, but learning the camera becomes harder, and when they do not implement the help well, it is worse than no help at all because it is just a distraction.
Next is the viewfinder. I have found that I have to be very conservative, ie. move back and try to give extra margin around my subject to shoot because what I see on the viewfinder is not necessarily the picture I end up with. I have not really analyzed this to find out exactly where the picture is or how it changes with modes, but one needs to see on the viewscreen exactly what the picture is, otherwise the viewscreen is useless too.
I wish I could post some video I shot on this camera, the subject is off to the top of the frame, and even cut off. When I was shooting it it was all in the center of the viewscreen. This is a major problem … I wish I could take it back at this point.
The pictures are so huge that taking the picture seems to take a while before the camera comes back. The “snappiness” of the response leaves a bit to be desired.
I also do not like the way the zoom is implemented as a vertical rocker switch up near the top of the trigger. Your thumb wants to move right and left if you hold the camera like a normal human being, and making it go up and down really makes the zoom clumsy to use, and makes the camera more likely to shake.
As I said, I like the form factor, the detail is wonderful, the size and shape are great. The picture quality is very good. The screen help idea is great, and the text that comes up when you change modes is a good idea, but as I said you can hardly read it before it goes away leaving it just as hard to tell what mode you are in as the cameras that have no such help.
I have to say I am disappointed overall in the design details of this camera, though all the parts are there and the picture is nice and very detailed an the zoom power is very good.
The video is sharp and clear and very nice. I cannot say for sure but I think the image is stabilized in the video.
I would recommend this camera for those who want all the features of a 12 MP 5x optical zoom for an inexpensive price and do not mind overlooking some … what I think of anyway … as bad design judgements. With proper tweaking this camera could have been so much much better.
I wonder if Samsung can make a firmware upgrade or something to fix some of my gripes … though I have never heard of a f/w upgrade for a camera.
Pros: great detail, the 12 megapix give amazing clarity. I bought this for a trip to Rome, and it captures every little bit of detail a sculpture or painting. the “Dual” mode does a great job of eliminating blurriness from shaking hands. The 5x optical zoom works fast, and the auto focus adjusts quickly as well.
Cons: the night time mode doesn’t work that well, and makes pictures very yellow-ish. I had some problems with pictures corrupting. Of the 600 pictures I took, 8 of them became corrupt (although that could be a problem with the memory card and not the camera).
