Samsung S730 and S630 First Impressions Review

Value
Both of these cameras are well priced at the budget end of the market. The S630 will have an MSRP of $179.99, and the S730 has an MSRP of $199.99. They’ll probably be available at street prices, some way below thMSRP. They aren’t the cheapest cameras in this class, though. The 7.1 megapixel Kodak EasyShare C743 can be bought for about $150, while the Fujifilm Finepix F700 is available for about $150 on the street. The Samsung cameras aren’t likely to be found much more expensive than these. 

Who It’s For
Point-and-Shooters – These simple cameras provide simple, straightforward features that should satisfy most shooters who just want to point and click.  

Budget Consumers – There are cheaper cameras available, but the S630 and S730 are competitively priced for the photographer on a budget.  

Gadget Freaks – There really aren’t enough bells and whistles on these cameras to satisfy your inner gadget freak.  

Manual Control Freaks – Although this camera does have a manual mode, exposure controls are not flexible enough for this demographic. 

Pros / Serious Hobbyists – Pull this camera out when your pro photographer buddies are around and you’ll be laughed out of the serious shooters club.
