Used this for a month now. Had several cases of camera freezing. Sometimes VERY slow to take picture when shutter pressed. If you rely on the Camera Information like orientation when the pictures are moved to PC, don't use this one. It does not populate this information correctly.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color, Lightweight, good panaramic feature
Cons: Poor quality, Did not meet expectations, limited scene modes, slow shutter speeds
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Twice unhappy

I bought this camera to take to Alaska. I thought it would be great with the WiFi so I could send pics back home. After a few days of use, the camera started freezing up and the only way to resolve this was to take the battery out. I was able to use the Mobile Link to send pics to my Ipad which was pretty cool. I exchanged the camera before the 30 day period because of the freezing problem. My new camera now is not working with the WiFi on my Iphone or Ipad. I'm very disappointed and will be returning this camera for another model!
Pros: Realistic color, Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations

Nice camera, but the wi-fi is unimpressive.

I recently bought this camera. I'm still discovering all it can do. So far, I've really liked it. I bought the camera for a vacation I'm taking next month. That will put it to the test!
I am not impressed with the wi-fi capablilities. The MobileLink app doesn't work. I downloaded it to my iPhone, and it's in KOREAN!!!!! There's nothing else I can say, since I don't know Korean, other than, please publish a downloadable version in English.
In general, I haven't been that impressed with the Wi-Fi capabilities. It doesn't connect to my iPhone or my Mac. It does connect to my Samsung DVD player and shows really high quality pictures/videos on my Samsung HDTV, but that is REALLY, REALLY SLOW. It works much better for me to plug the SD card & Reader directly into the DVD player, and I get the same high quality pictures.
If I were shopping for a camera today, I would look for the same camera, only without the Wi-Fi which would be less expensive. I'm not going to return it. I just hope that Samsung will develop software that will allow me to enjoy all of the wi-fi features.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, easy to use
Cons: wi-fi capabilities not very useful
I would recommend this to a friend!

I have only had this camera a week and bought it because of the price the quality of lens and zoom and pixel amount - it was a surprise to find all the fun features that I have been playing with they are really good and the quality of the pictures are really sharp I am really pleased with it. Only little complaint is no instructions hence I was looking on line to find out all of the features that the camera has to offer.
From the time I opened the box this was the easiest camera I've ever purchased and really cool features. I would recommend this to anyone - even 80 yr old parents. Easy and great pics.- This is replacing my OLD Samsung camera that I had for years with something updated.
Using the Megapixels and Zoom capability's in taking photo's of animals at the zoo, well, I'm very satisfied about considering this product. I was going to invest in some thing a little more advanced. I am glad I did not, because of this product features.
