Review
of the Samsung Digimax A400
The Samsung Digimax A400 has a slightly lower pixel count than the Digimax A5 and also slightly lower optical zoom, but it does have a larger LCD screen which fills most of the back of the camera - see picture. The movie recording is marginally slower at 24 frames per second, but still pretty good.
Features of the Samsung Digimax A400 include:

Absolutely brilliant! Can't fault the camera at all, great case and the
bundled software isn't too bad. To get the most out of the device you
should have some high capacity rechargeable batteries (x2 AA batteries,
at least 2000 mAh) and an SD card of at least 128mb - with those you can't
go wrong at all and you will have a fantastic camera.

I researched digital cameras under $100(US)and scouted them on ebay and
on internet review sites until my eyes, fingers, and head totally ached!
I finally purchased 3 Samsung 3.2 meg (no optical zoom) models, and gave
them as family x-mas gifts. I had to fight the Day-After-Thanksgiving-5am-Rush.
I got the last 3 advertised. They cost around $80. My folks and siblings
were thrilled! These cameras weren't toys, and didn't feel like the cheap
"starter-cams" that you buy in plastic-blister-pacs hanging on the wall.
Really nice little compact units! Very solid in feel. Good brand-name
recognition (not some totally off-brand-pile-o'nonsense.) Anyway, my wife
and I received gift certs. to a major retailer for x-mas, so we decided
that we deserved a new camera too! The lens-cover-on-off-mechanism on
our Olympus digicam was broken, plus we were taping the battery compartment
shut with band-aids! Finally, the unit was over 5 years old, was the size
of a brick, had tiny lcd screen, and sported only 2 meg. I would have
purchased the same 3.2 Samsung that I bought for family, but none left
to be found, especially at that blow-out price. I decided to buck-up $150
and get more megapixels, plus some optical zoom. I scouted EVERYTGHING
in the price range. I opted for Samsung again! This A-400 totally rocks!
I couldn't find another camera out there in the price range with 12x total
zoom, 2 inch lcd, and all the other custom features that this camera sports.
I looked at Nikon, Canon, Fuji, Kodak, and Polaroid. Great picture quality,
good software too. Maybe not as totally user friendly as the kodak, but
spend a few hours reading and fiddling and you'll be happy to get all
the features figured out. The compact size and shape beats Nikon's, plus
you get audio recording and a bigger screen than a comparably priced nikon.
The feel of the unit beats the toy-like quality of similarly priced kodak
and polaroid. All-in-all i'm quite happy with this camera

a lot of reserch before buying I'm very happy with my choice and would

My very first 35mm film instamatic camera is Olympus,then later on I shifted
to digital camera and I bought an Olympus again...But one day while reading
some brochure I saw this Digimax A400 on sale...because of my curiosity
about this Samsung Digimax I started looking some reviews in the internet
I looked at the specs, it seems ok to me so I went to the shopping mall
and saw this model,I checked the items...I was stunned about the 2"LCD
monitor! as well as the appearance. So without any hesitation I took it
and paid it. I tested it,point and shoot different indoor/outdoor area
in several times comparing to my other digital camera...The end result,I
was convinced that this is one of the best digital camera that I ever
had, it can produce a quality photos...sharp,crisp and clear images,even
in the dark area and also the battery life is much longer than my other
digicam (I recommend to use NiMH batteries). It is a highly recommended
4 megapixel camera especially to the novice digital camera users! So check
it out.

I'm in agreement with Gary from canada, I also paid 179.00(canadian) on
boxing day, had to stand in line for two and a half hours, the worst part
of the whole experience. I'm a novice so I hope gary is right about the
ease.

I purchased this camera on Boxing Day at just C$ 179. I was a little hesitant
to buy it because Samsung has not a big name in cameras like Nikon, Leica
or Canon. But the test shots were so impressive that I exclaimed 'GGGRRRREITTTTT..'
It is lightweight, small but with a 2 inch LCD. Operation is simple and
user friendly. I recommend this camera, specially to novice photographers.
