Looks Hot! Samsung 3.2MP digital camera with 3x optical. ~$150 AR

[nebula]

A coworker sent me this. Not sure on the quality or the website but it looks nice and compact, plus 3x optical zoom! I guess if you don't have a digicam, this might be a good start?

Rebate


EDIT: Price has been raised at Onecall now, but read through this thread if still interested. People have mentioned a possible PM opportunity.

Sorry I haven't really kept up on this thread!

Excellent Reseller Ratings

Kinda looks like a Sony.

$5 shipping, no tax. Looks good

 

[DaCurryman]

Seems pretty nice, anyone been able to find a review?

 

[MrBond]

Here's a review for the Samsung Digimax V4, which for all intents and purposes looks like the same camera, only with a 4MP CCD.

For $150, this looks like a pretty good deal for what should be a nice camera.

The rebate is valid at other retailers too (although not staples)

Thanks, nebula, and the rest for all the information. I ordered mine, after a very quick and helpful call to onecall.com. It's in stock and will ship today.

Anyone know how this camera compares to the Fuji A210 that is $159 without any rebates from buy.com?

Thanks nebula and everyone else too! I just placed an order. By the way, you get a 1% discount when you sign up for an account with Onecall.

 

[nebula]

Glad to see that some people are finding value in this deal! I really can't see how you could go wrong with this for the features you get, unless you already have a cam with these features!

 

[optimistic]

This looks like a good deal!

What's the deal here with the rebate? After checking www.samsungcamerausa.com to find a different copy of the rebate, I was directed to here. After clicking to see the rebate, it shows the same picture as the one posted. However, under "Receive: By mail a check for $20.00." What's up with that? I called Samsung, but they had already closed. Anyone else worried/confused about this?

Looks great!

This uses non-rechargeable batteries.

Does anyone know if there is a charger pack for this camera?

[venk]

doesnt it use AAs also?

 

[rutchtkim]

looks hot

 

[Auggie]

Why isn't this camera sold anywhere else (or very many other places)? BestBuy and the other big stores don't sell it. Is it an older model I guess?

Hello! This is Brenden, who am I speaking with today?
hello, this is Tony
I am confused about the rebate for the samsung Digimax V3 digital camera
What is it that you are confused about?
your rebate specifies $50, upon closer inspection found on samsungs website http://www.samsungcamerausa.com/Camera/promotion/promotion06.asp
if you click on the link to print and view the certificate, it says somthing about receiving $20
Must be a typo, it says right at the top of that page $Samsung Camera $50 Rebate Offer
We have the Samsung rebate form on our website, and it correctly states $50
ok, just wanted to clarify, thanks Brenden
Anything else I can help you with Tony?
thats it, thanks for your time
Thank you for using our Live Chat! Have a nice day! -Brenden

Yep it does. So I'd use NiMH rechargables with this if it were me.

I couldn't find much info on the web about it either. So I thought it was either an older model or a newer one!

 

[Morpheux]

Anyone have / bought this camera yet?

 

[madalien]

The lens is a first rate Schnieder product. If you look on Samsung's website this and the Digimax V4 are listed as new models. If I didn't just get a new camera, I would pounce on this. For the price it can not be beat, IMHO.
