A mode dial facilitates access to all the shooting features whereas a 5-function button present also comes in handy. To round it off, A40 encompasses a highly attractive the 256 colour menu system.

Better picture quality needed
A40 may have plenty of features but at the end of the day what you need is nice picture quality which this camera is not all that good at. At least it left me disappointed b’coz I know what Samsung cameras are capable of offering. Among some of the disappointing aspects of the camera is the 2-inch LCD screen which doesn’t help in correct shot framing. Zooming features also did not excite all that much. Included memory is only 11MB. I tried shooting a few videos but that too were gr8 in any sense.
