Samsung Digimax S73/S730 7.2MP is a high resolution digital camera that is equipped with a true-color filtered 7.2-megapixel CCD. You can use Samsung S730 to produce even better images and take detailed photos for printing up to poster size. In addition, the Samsung S730 has a 3x optical and 5x digital zoom giving 15x total zoom when combined.
The Samsung S730 has a 2.5-inch LCD for improved contrast and color reproduction, allowing you to enjoy a wider and clearer image.
The ASR technology prevents the degradation of image clarity and color common to flash photography. With ASR the effects of camera shake are reduced in lower light conditions. You can even take well-exposed, sharper pictures in low light without using a flash at all. It guarantees brighter and more natural pictures.

Helpful consumer’s review
This is actually a very good camera contrary to the other reviews, especially for its price. The problem is batteries – you can’t use just any battery with this camera. Regular alkalines and cheaper rechargeables will not do the trick. Sony 2500 mAh AA Rechargeable Nimh Batteries, 4-pack should be sufficient. When I was using alkalines the camera would freeze when open, as others have said, and suddenly drop to low battery when the battery isn’t really low. The problem is regular batteries don’t have enough kick for this camera so it will show that the battery is full until it actually tries to use some power. The manual itself states that 2500 mAh batteries are suggested, although it should say they are *required*, on the front of the box, in big bold letters.
As for the camera itself, it may not be a professional’s camera, but it would definitely work for the common family. Max image res is 3072×2304. It can take 640×480 video at a good framerate, but you’ll definitely want a rather high capacity SD card if you wish to do that regularly. There’s an abundance of modes and settings to play with.
Great camera, especially for the price (worth twice as much), but don’t forget good batteries and an SD card.
