Digital Camera Review by: Michael Gazzola  

Adding to Samsung's ever growing range of digital cameras, their new 3.2 mega pixel has been launched with success. The '360' model is light weight and produces great results, which are two key factors most buyers look for when pricing a camera in this range. It sits comfortably in the users hand and has all the required features within reach. The navigation system is quite simple and offers a number of automatic presets.

Two great features this camera has over its competitors is the movie options capture mode, which is only limited by the size of the memory card, and the audio capture, with a capacity of recording up to 2 hours. Overall the '360' has proven itself against some of the more established brands and will provide plenty of customer satisfaction.
