Great for everything EXCEPT evening and night shots.
by Evolved4m on September 17, 2009
Pros: An overall great digital camera with decent quality and pictures.
Cons: TERRIBLE for shooting photos at night or where lighting is dim (bars, clubs, etc.)
Summary: Bought this camera for my girlfriend as a birthday gift... and she HATES it. I don't blame her neither.

This camera has easy navigation, decent picture quality, and plenty of features. Battery life is great as well. The Beauty Shot feature is great for that "magazine cover" look. The only downside is the camera cannot shoot night shots no matter what setting I tried. I would pass on this camera just for that sole reason. There are plenty of other cameras at this price range with better overall quality. -

Pros: Light-weight, slim, big display screen, easy point and shoot modes
Cons: Mediocre battery life. Slow response time in between taking pictures.

Summary: Great deal on a camera that has a lot of features for a small price. The camera is very sleek looking and very slim. The EASY shoot mode is perfect for point and shoot pictures. The battery life is not that great, but it charges so quickly that it doesn't matter that much. The display on the back is huge and very clear.

Decent camera, but one slight flaw
by SharpAsSharingan on March 29, 2009
Pros: lightweight, slim look, good looking menu, easy to use, recommended for firsttimers
Cons: slow shutter speed, mediocre IS (Image Stabilization)
Summary: I enjoyed this product and hope to see a newer yet better version. But, i've never seen a photography class product like this from Samsung.
