Samsung Digimax S730 7.2MP Digital Camera with 3x Optical Zoom (Pink) Review
I have owned the hot pink Samsung S73 for 9 months (since August ’08), and I am extremely happy with it. I got it on sale at Circuit City for less than , and it was worth every penny I spent and more. Like I commented on the other review, however, you NEED to get the right batteries for this camera or it will not meet your expectations. A pack of good quality 2000mAh or higher Nimh recheargeables should definitely do the trick. Alkalines will not last long at all, and for some reason they also cause the camera to freeze more often.
The picture quality is superb for a 7.2 megapixel camera, even better than my 8.0 megapixel GE A835. I have uploaded a couple of pictures from my vacation in Jamaica to show what I am talking about.
The S73 seems to be built very sturdily, while at the same time manages not to be too bulky, which can be an issue for cameras that use AA batteries.
The only minor issues that I’ve had with it is that there is a slightly long 4-5 second delay before the flash goes off when taking pictures after the camera is first turned on, and the flash recycle time is sometimes pretty slow, so it can be annoying when trying to take quick action shots one after the other using flash. Otherwise, this camera is excellent and I highly recommend it!

Samsung Customer Service is Horrible! – Grendl X. – Los Angeles, CA United States
I purchased the Samsung S730 new and within two months it stopped working. After arguing for over an hour with different people on the customer service line, I was given a return authorization number and address. When the camera was returned it worked fine for a couple months, then the lens stopped retracting on its own, which means the camera wouldn’t turn off. You had to push the lens in. A few more months, and the display screen when white. I returned the camera again and Samsung mailed it back with a letter stating that the camera had “severe liquid or impact damage” and couldn’t be repaired. They lie. They make crappy products and they don’t honor their warranty.
DO NOT BUY SAMSUNG GARBAGE!
Good Camera – Bob Falco – Houston Tx
Good camera, used in a warehouse and shipping environment. Has enough depth to take pictures from dock into dark trailers.
