I had a Galaxy S tab, which has put me into the 21st century, so when I needed to purchase a new camera, I went to the Samsung brand. Paired with the Galaxy "Hotspot" on my tab and the wi-fi feature on my SH100, I can email, social network and be creative almost anywhere. I love PICASA for sharing photo albums with my family and friends. "MOVE OVER YOUNG FOLKS, THIS SENIOR HAS ARRIVED!!!!!!"
I bought this camera for my son to take to Lima, Peru on a swim trip.We had a just a few hours to decide before he had to fly off. It looked good and seemed to have decent features. He charged it up on the way to Lima, went to bed, and it was discharged by the next day. He had to keep it plugged in 80% of the time (not easy to do where he was). He missed hundreds of shots because of the poor battery life. If you leave the battery in the camera longer than 36 hours, it will discharge the battery. I have had it in the shop twice. 1st they replaced the Battery, 2nd the replaced the main board. I've never had a problem like this with any other camera. I bought it 400 miles away and couldn't' return it. Believe me, I would have returned it the day after I bought it, if I could have.
It takes excellent photos, with unbelievable specs for a digital camera of that price. Only cons are; the touch screen doesn't feel your touch sometimes (but I figured it's because it was loading since there were nearly 1,000 photos stored on the memory), and Having to retype your email Every time you wanted to send pics via wireless network. Other then those small problems, the digital camera is perfect.
The camera is solid. I only have two issues with it. Issue one is the wi-fi. Most free wi-fi hot spots require you to go to their webpage and log in. With the camera you can't do that as there is no prompt for it so like at a hotel on vacation, uploading via wi-fi is pointless and makes the feature mostly pointless. My second issue is the touch screen is non responsive or the cpu is slow, one or the other.
I just wish the camera came with a manuel about the different apps and are there any more to download... Other than that I just love all the apps that it does feature.
I really love this camera, now is easier for me to share my pics with friends because i can do it from my camera, no need a computer! pics are really bright and with excellent quality, and the most important: the menu is easy and simple to use, i strongly recommend this camera!
