    8.0/10
    18 November 2007

    Samsung’s S630 is not the best-looking compact in this round up, but has several other features to recommend it. It has a 6MP sensor, a 3x optical zoom and an ISO range of 80-400 which is slightly limited. Read more

    • A bit chunky, No manual option
    • Utilitarian design, Menus not intuitive

    The Samsung S630 and S730 are closely related models, sharing basically identical bodies and differing mainly in sensor resolution. Read more

    The S630 delivers a decent requirement for the market it is aimed at. The picture and build quality are fair for day to day picture taking. The camera will not win any awards, but I don't think that Samsung were trying to. Read more

    • Anti-shake feature, Reasonable build quality, Built in Dictaphone
    • Fairly flat colours, Completely unnecessary Scene mode control

    Good basic camera. Felt a bit low end compared to Sony or Casio I also purchased but still not too bad. I purchased this camera on Ebay for just $10. Reason it was that low was because the flash was not working. Read more

    I work in the roofing industry and this camera has seen it's fair share of hazards. The only problem I've ever had with it was after 3-4 hours out in the snow/sleet. Read more

    • Excellent pictures even in adverse conditions, very durable, easy to use and install. Rain or snow, 120 to 10 below.
    • Battery life leaves a little to be desired. Camera will not run on betteries that are too low but they run anything else I put them in. Camera seems to drain batteries rapidly while off and in the case. The on screen batte...
