For the good points the camera is good, very clear pictures and easy to use. Easy to edit pictures, lcd is good size. Slim so easy to carry. The price is absolutely a bargain.

The bad points camera uses AA batteries therefore dont last very long if you take photos frequently. It also dont take cheap batteries only the good quality ones like duracel.

Nice
A nice little camera. Good picture quality and a few manual controls to give you more control in difficult situations.

Two downers.....a crap manual (it's all on CD), and SAVAGE battery use. I've just ordered some 2850's in the hope they'll give me a bit more time!!

Batteries?
This camera has to be sent back due to the fact that it takes AA bateries, it is supplied with a couple of duracel, which are not rechargeabe, and does not come with a charger! Not really acceptable for a camera of this spec considering other cameras in this price range come with Li-ion rechargable batteries with a charger. The product description really should make this clearer.

Very happy about this camera!
I needed a new camera to replace a CASIO Exlim which kept on breaking. Unfortunately the last problem I had with it came up a couple of days after the 2 year warranty expired, so it wasn't worth fixing it any longer.

I have been looking at the Canon IXUS 80 for a while but after seeing it "live" at John Lewis I had second thoughts as it looked a bit bulky.

I have then come across this Samsung S1070 but I was wary because of the very few reviews and the very low price (for a 10MP camera) but I took the plunge anyway!

I like the face recognition feature, the very large display and the on-screen function description so that when you select a feature and look at the display it will explain you what the icon does.

What I don't like is the lack of a proper instruction manual (so frequent with electronics items these days); you get a quick start manual which only covers the main functions and a CD based user manual, not very handy to take on holiday with you unless you print all of it on paper.

Another thing that left me a bit baffled is that the camera works with 2 AA batteries (you get 2 Duracel in the box) and therefore cannot recharge the camera but need to buy disposable batteries all the time or rechargeable batteries and charger separately; once again not very convenient if you are trying to save space when going on holiday.

All in all I am very happy with this purchase and I hope that, unlike the CASIO camera, this will last me for a long time.
