Released at the same time as the Samsung S760 Digital Camera, the Samsung S860 Digital Camera is a slightly improved model which still incorporates the majority of features from its earlier counterpart.  While it is a step up, it has still been introduced as an entry level offering, although the 8 mega picture functionality makes it much more than basic.

On the surface there is very little difference from the Samsung S760 Digital Camera, but the Samsung S860 Digital Camera is a little larger.  Produced in a range of different colors to appeal to as many new starts in photography as possible, it is fresh and friendly.  The simple design of the camera casing is also something which should appeal to the newer market, where very often the larger, bulkier cameras can be a bit of a turn off, unless you fully understand what is beneath the surface.

This particular model has a 3x optical zoom lens and a fair sized LCD so that you can both view your shots before pressing the button, and play back instantly to see how they have come out.  The interesting Samsung face recognition system is much appreciated and shows exactly what can be done, even at the lower end of the market.  This particular system assists greatly with people shots, ensuring that they are both clear, balanced and above all show who they are supposed to!

The digital stability function also comes in very useful for those windy days or motion shots when your hand may not be as steady as you would like.  The whole thing is complimented by the high sensitivity ISO 1000 technology, which is again there to ensure that you make the most of you photo shoot opportunities.
