WiFi is not great
on January 8, 2012
Posted by: mamajana
'm not sure if I would recommend this camera. It takes good pictures and is relatively easy to use, but the wifi feature is unreliable and only works in limited locations. And, wifi is the the whole reason I purchased this particular camera. It came with a trial of boingo and that never worked at all! Very disappointing.
This camera is light-weight and very small. It's easy to put it in my pocket. It has a lot of social networking features.
I Google WiFi camera, and it seems this is the only one avaiable. I visited a local electronics store, this was the only WiFi camera they carried.
I bought this camera mainly because of the WiFi feature. I wanted to give this as a present to my mom, thinkig the WiFi and email features would make her life easier. She would be able to send me pictures with just a few taps.However, the followings are below my expectation: 1. The WiFi works only with a few yards from my AP. My laptop and smart phone have no problem of WiFi access anywhere in my house, but I have to use this camera very close to the AP. 2. It takes a long time (10+ seconds) to establish WiFi connection for sending each email. The WiFi design is far below a regular WiFi enabled device. 3. I have read a few product reviews online saying that you can use the GUI like a smart phone. I didn't realize it meant old fashion smart phone with a stylus. Had the production introduction mentioned a pen is required, I wouldn't overexpect it. I don't know how I can carry the pen with the camera.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

touch screen is spastic
on January 10, 2012
Posted by: okthxwhateverbye
Fun camera but it's hard to use the touch screen because it's jumpy and spastic. I read on the blogosphere that this was fixed with a firmware update but the posted firmware update does not load even after all manner of runaround with Samsung tier 2 support. Samsung has not bothered to release a functional firmware update even though this has been a known issue since October.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
