Samsung's new Digimax V4 has been a great leap forward in proving to consumers that Samsung are the real deal when it comes to digital cameras. There is plenty to like about this compact, starting with its quality Schneider lens and 4 megapixel capture. The body has a smooth warm silver finish and is a comfortable weight to work with, or store in a jacket pocket. Samsung have also put a great deal of thought into some of the general features ignored by too many camera manufactures such as the battery compartment, which allows for 2 standard AA batteries or a CR-V3 battery. In total, there are 9 power source options. General navigation through the cameras menu is clear, simple and quick and loaded with more options than most will ever use. The quality the camera can produce in its highest settings are fantastic, although there is a little time lag between the shooting of images - this applies to both low and high-end settings. Overall, the engineers had set out to achieve a number of world firsts, and have come through with just that!
