My kids really enjoy it. They usually lose interest fairly quickly with Mickey but this one interests them.

A significant step up from DX for low-light
on October 4, 2014
Posted by: JAFO45

Verified Purchase:Yes
I have been shooting DX since the D70 was released. I went from a D70 to a D90 and then a D7100. My first entry into the Full Frame world was a Canon 6D. An excellent camera camera but I just could not get over the lack of a built in flash. I switched to the D610 an have been extremely pleased. The image quality is remarkable. My D7100 images were sharp but the D610 appears (to me at least) as sharp if not more using good glass. The main reason I upgraded was for low light. I will say this, If low/available light photography is not very important, stick with a D7100 and spend the extra money on good glass. The other reason I switched was for a greater selection of quality wide angle lenses for FX vs DX. I'm very happy and I think even with newer models like the D750 arriving, the D610 still holds it's own quite comfortably for the money.

Great case, terrible screen protector

Verified Purchase:Yes
Good solid case that will ensure that the phone is safe from all but the most severe drops. The rubber outer case makes the phone easy to grip but also difficult to slide in and out of a pocket if you like to carry your phone in your jeans pocket.
I really wanted a Lifeproof case for the S4 but at the time I purchased it, they were not available. This is probably the next best thing. The screen protector that is built in is pretty poor quality and diminishes the resolution and color saturation of the beautiful display that Samsung has. It's easily removed and you can always install an invisishield or something similar.
Good case for the money, I like that you can lock the phone into the belt case and still access all of the ports.

What's great about it: protects the phone from drops
What's not so great: the screen cover, still slightly bulkier than a lifeproof case

Decent upgrade to S3
on October 13, 2013
Posted by: JAFO45
from Seattle, WA
Age:25-34
Phone size:Just right
Verified Purchase:Yes
I have owned every iphone variant minus the 5s as well as the original Galaxy, Galaxy S3, and Motorola Razr Maxx HD. Of all the phones I have owned, the Galaxy S3 was my favorite. The S4 isn't a huge upgrade, but it certainly is an improvement.
The two things I notice most are the battery life, although it's still not excellent, and the screen resolution. I have no use for air view, air gesture, smart scroll or smart pause. I just turn those features off. The smart stay feature is the only thing I use and it works about half of the time.
As a phone, I like the dialer with large buttons and the call quality is excellent, even with the speakerphone turned up all the way, people on the other end say they can't tell they're on speaker.
The camera is pretty sharp but the options on screen may be a bit cluttered for some users. I use a Nikon slr so my phone is really just a back up. The pictures it takes are pretty good for a phone though. The videos are great too. Just be sure to downsize the files before you email or attach to a text message.
The IR blaster is something I do use everyday. It's nice being able to control my tv with my phone.
Overall, if you're happy with the S3, you're probably not going to be blown away with the S4 but it's a nice improvement. If you're using an iPhone and thinking of making the jump to Android, the S4 should be at the top of your list.
