A lot of camera in a small package. Everything you need in a compact device. I love the fact that I can send pictures of my granddaughter to everyone instantly on facebook or email to family that lives far away. Easy to use and it takes very clear and beautiful pictures. Videos are clear and you can really hear what you record. I recorded my son playing music on his guitar and it sounded very professional
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use
It is so great to take a picture and be able to send it immediately to a family member as long as I'm in a wi-fi area. I don't have to take the memory card out and put it on my computer
Simple to use and the added WiFi feature is awesome! No longer taking out the memory card or hooking up camera to the computer to upload pics/vids. Also the allshare feature is amazing with my Samsung ES8000 TV!
When i first heard about this camera I knew I had to have it. I was right. I'll admit I was at first really skeptical about it since within the first week it wasn't working properly and I had to send it back to Samsung to get fixed which was really disappointing. However, they fixed it free of charge and it in a timely manner. It now works like a charm! =] I love the features especially the kid feature which is perfect for me since i work in a pre school. The beauty shot works very well too and since then I haven't taken a bad picture thanks to the dual view. To send the pictures or videos whether it be to your social network or to your email is very fast. So in conclusion if your thinking about purchasing this product I say go for it you will not be disappointed.
I like the different options and features it has (it has a lot of pretty cool things), but sometimes it limits too much the settings and shooting conditions on such features, such as ISO, white balance, flash options, focus area, metering and more. These options are only present (all at once) in the Program mode, but it would be much better than all these options (all at once) were available in all functions, as they are very restricted and limited to the settings for shooting conditions (I would suggest a Firmware Update for that). That's why I rate the Performance with only 4 stars. I would prefer the power button a little larger for those with a larger fingertip. I would also prefer that the F.LCD button were found more coherent near the shutter button, with the idea of taking a more easily self-portrait. I also would prefer a simpler and easier navigation through the Home and Menu buttons in the software. The feature for sharing (with differents methods) is brillant, but it takes too many steps to complete the whole process. That's why I rate the Design with 4 stars.
Pros: Lightweight, good features
Cons: lack of settings when it's needed, small power button, too many steps for sharing
Right from the word go , this camera has WOWed . Smart phone like apps built into the camera was a superb blend. Excellent value for money phone with amazing features, which would give all the other cameras even in the higher segment a good amount of heat.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, wi fi, front lcd
This is the first digital camera that I absolutely love! The wifi is a neat feature. The pictures/video come out clear. The one drawback I would have is the ability to switch back and forth from photo to video without having to go through the MENU button and using the slider. It would also be awesome if it had a touchscreen to input any message or notes when uploading. The rechargeable battery is another great feature and it doesnt drain it after several videos and a hundred pictures. Great camera I would recommend.
