 Samsung cust. service is horrible! March 11, 2010
C. Shade (Meeker, OK)
I bought this little camera approx. a year ago. Takes great pictures and is really easy to use. The Shutter started not closing approx. 8 months ago, so I assumed it was a battery problem. Over time, it started not closing and now it won't open, nor will it close. I emailed Tech support at Samsung, and they basically gave me the run around. I love this little camera and I do recommend purchasing it at such a low price, but I just hope it holds up better for someone else. I have since bought a new Canon camera. It is great, but I miss some of the features that this little jewel has.
A good little camera March 1, 2010

First I will say that mine lasted for one and a half years before it broke (there is now something wrong with the lens and any picture I take is extremely blurry).
It was good for the price when I bought it, and I didn't need professional-quality images -- I mainly wanted to take pictures of my craft projects, and I also ended up taking many portraits and vacation photos. For these purposes it worked pretty well.
The battery life was pretty impressive -- recently it lasted for two demanding days touring Washington and a Smithsonian museum.
It's very easy to get used to using this camera, and the video quality is certainly not bad.
The zoom is pretty good, but its farthest zoom setting is hardly worth using as the pictures turn out very grainy.
Mine was the green one -- such a great color and I can't say it's not something I care about :).
If you're looking for a nice, cheap, reliable point-and-shoot camera, this is a good way to go. I'll miss mine a lot!
Great, but don't use Alkaline Batteries!!! February 6, 2010

I have to give this product a fair review even though I lost some money on it.
I got this camera about two years ago and used it for a year, it worked great. Picture quality was excellent for the price and video was good too. But about a year ago the camera just flat out stopped working. It pretty much wouldn't turn on. The warranty happened to be expired as of that week too(of course). So the manufacturer says the reason is because I used Alkaline when it only takes NiMH, or rechargeable.
So deep within the instruction manual there is a little note about this fact. It was really my fault but I am sure plenty of others have made this mistake.
Great product, just use the batteries included even if it is a pain.

This camera eats through regular batteries. I go through two in about a day of average picture taking. It also has this strange thing when you are finished taking a picture. Most cameras take about a second to process the picture. For some reason, this camera takes anywhere from 5 to 10 seconds per picture. So, if you are into fast picture taking, this is not the camera for you.
About the only good thing it does, is it takes really nice pictures. But, you have to have the flash on, have a steady hand, and be willing to wait for it to process. The steady hand thing on the camera doesn't actually let you take a picture with a shaky hand and have the picture come out clear. It just tells you that it is trying to take a clear picture. The picture will still come out blurry, just not as blurry as it would if you were using a film camera. The macro feature isn't the best. You are better off not even trying with it.
Now let's talk about getting the pictures off of your camera. If you have an SD card reader, that is great, use it. Otherwise, don't lose the cable that comes with it. If you do, good luck trying to find a replacement. It isn't your standard camera cord. The connection is much smaller than normal and must have its own cord.
The video feature is ok, it just doesn't work with VLC or Windows Media. The sound only works on the camera and be prepared to talk really loud to have the camera even record it. And no special features like high speed. It is just a regular video camera.
If this is your first camera, it is a good one to get started on. It will teach you to be patient and will help you get to know the standard camera features. But, if you are into taking pictures of anything, go with a different camera. This one will just drive you up a wall.
