Samsung DIGIMAX A7
A 7-megapxiel camera, Samsung DIGIMAX A7 integrates loads of sophisticated and up to date features like the Samsung High-Definition (SHD) lens and the combined 15X zoom (3X optical, 5X digital).
You are given a choice of 10 different scene modes (Portrait, Children, Landscape, Close-up, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, Fireworks, Beach & Snow and Text) for improving the picture quality.
For colour effects, you can make use of the black & white, sepia and RGB. Macro mode enables taking photographs from a close range of 4cm and A7 also gives you the ability to take your own snaps with the help of a Self Photo Mirror.
In built editing features of A7 include cropping, rotating and resizing photographs to get the desired results.
Designing of A7 is very much user friendly with plethora of features present. First and foremost, the helpful graphical user interface (GUI) enables you to access many of the crucial camera features. Next, a radiant 2-inch LCD screen facilities better viewing during both capture and playback. You can alternate between capture and playback using the shutter button.
With a manual function button, you can keep shifting between the manual, aperture priority and shutter priority modes.
For ease of printing without connecting to a PC, you can utilise the PictBridge function which delivers prints via a USB connection. In addition, A7 is shipped with softwares like ArcSoft Photo Impression and Digimax Viewer through which you can store and edit the images on a PC.
Video shooting capabilities of A7 are also efficient thanks to the Power Movie Clip feature. This function facilitates shooting high quality VGA clips at both 30 fps and 15 fps. Using the Power Movie Clip feature, you can pause, rewind and fast forward movies.
Samsung A7 comes with a SD/MMC slot for 512MB of capacity. However, A7 is already equipped with a 32MB of internal memory which is a decent storage capacity in itself. Apart from the three different resolutions in Superfine, Fine and Normal, there are a range of image size options.
A pilot lamp situated on the camera front is helpful as it tells you regarding the current camera status and the features in use.
Battery wise, A7 is compatible with five power sources; AA Alkaline, CR-V3, Ni-MH, Samsung Li-ion (SBP- 1303) and an AC adapter.
With a user-friendly interface and good shooting features, A7 looks like a good inclusion in the DIGIMAX club.

This is my first digi camera and I must say that I'm disappointed. I took it out of the box placed the alkaline battery's in took 8 or 9 photo's and the low battery message came on, then turned it's self off. For camera thats ment to cost more than £300.00 I would expect more....

AUTO OVEREXPOSURE
I have found the Samsung Digimax A7 to consistently overexpose in bright sunlit scenes. leaving highlights burnt out. The images are realistic in terms of colour rendition, apart from the fact that they are too light, due to over-exposure. Mainly a good item, though, and certainly good value.

Despite the 7 megapixels, closer inspection reveals wooly images that print out only as good as my 4MP Canon Powershot A80. Otherwise OK, but where is the video output socket and lead? There isn't a socket or lead, and that has helped them shave the price down. You cannot view movie clips on TV.

A high quality camera
I wud like keep my review very short and simple. I have been using A7 for over 2 months and it has given me more positive than negative vibes. The most important thing is that this camera will give u top class pictures in most conditions thanks to the gr8 amount of features it includes. I only found the colour representation lagging in a couple of shots. Otherwise, pictures are truly good. Using the camera and understanding most of the functions is simple. Maybe only one gripe. The 3x optical zoom could have been quite a bit bigger which would have even better zooming ability. Anyways, I still say this a camera worth having. More so b’coz it is definitely among the cheaper ones in its category.
