Summary: A great little cammera and i love it! the slow start i can deal with, but i have many photos with people walking through because they wernt there when i presed the button!! Also annoying is when if looking though image thumb nails - but want to stop- u press the middle button (obvious choice) but the menu pops up and asks if you want to delete ALL!! NO! i dont! This has happened to me once ( lost some goodies) but is avoided if one rembers to press a different button instead of centre ( T button).
other wise all good.
battery doesnt seem to last for that long though. -
An easy to use camera
Pros: This camera is very easy to use, no matter what your age. It also has many features aimed at the younger photographer age group.
Cons: Although this camera is easy to use, I wouldn't suggest it for the advanced photographer. I took this camera back the day after I bought it to find something cheaper with more features.
Specifications
- Manufacturer: Samsung
- Part number: 120357
- Description: Size matters, or so they say! Love your camera but hate its incredibly large dimensions? If so, it's time to upgrade and grab yourself the ultra-stylish U-CA 3 from Samsung Cameras. As much of a fashion accessory as a digital camera, the silver U-CA 3 is one piece of technology that when you've got it, you're definitely going to want to flaunt it. More akin to the size of a mobile, the super-slim U-CA 3 has a real 'wow' factor. It's sleek, stylish, sophisticated and, above all, small - without compromising on the latest digital camera technology. For a tiny camera (102 x 52.8 x 31mm) weighing just 145g, the U-CA 3 boasts a range of features, as well as being designed to help you take excellent photographs. It offers the ultimate welcome when you switch on thanks to its AVATAR loading screen. Yes, you can personalize the loading screen by downloading your own pictures and favorite MP3 tunes. Alternatively, create your own 3D character to greet you when you switch on? and even customize its looks and features! When the camera is switched on, the sophisticated function light illuminates with no les than seven colors, letting everyone know that the U-CA3 is ready for action! The color TFT LCD screen and real image optical viewfinder help you to line up your subject for a shot. As with any digital cameras, you can delete unwanted images and re-shoot new ones in an instant! Depending on your creative mood, you can choose from a number of picture effects including normal, black and white, sunset and sepia. The U-CA3 has a number of different modes, which can be used when taking still images - Auto, Night Scene, and Self-timer. There is even a Myset mode for saving your favorite settings. You can increase sharpness, enhance colors and manually change the white balance on your images, as required. In addition, the U-CA 3 makes it easy to take better night or indoor shots using the special slow shutter speed function. The U-CA 3 can also capture memories in motion, as it uses the amazing MPEG 4 technology. MPEG 4 is a very efficient method of compression, dramatically increasing the amount of movie that can be stored on a memory card, at a rate of up to 24 frames per second. On the UCA-3 the length of your video clip is only restricted by the amount of memory available.
