Summary: Don't Like It
Comment: I have had this camera for a couple of months, and am looking to replace it. My chief complaint is the lag time in between pictures. It takes FOREVER to shoot multiple shots, and you can forget about getting a pic of a sporting event. There also isn't a view finder, so all shots must be taken from the screen.
I've only used one or 2 of the features. I do like the video capability. However, this camera is NOT user friendly, and needs a lot of study.
The size is one of the reasons that I bought it - nice and small - fits easily into a purse. However, the slow speed just don't make this camera practical.

Comment: I bought this camera in March. While it isnt a full blown bad camera, it isnt a real good one either. It takes beautiful pictures, as long as you dont put a zoom in. As soon as you start in with the zoom it starts to blur and gives you the little notice that you are shaking. It does this even on the tripod. It also does not work well if your subject is moving... At all...if anything moves before the camera decides to go from "capturing" to "Processing" your picture is gone. I would say its a good camera for someone just learning to take pictures and not wanting a lot of close ups, on the move type, or wild life pictures. Since the majority of my pictures are wildlife, close ups, scenic, and moving and I usually need to get them taken fast, this camera isnt working for me. I have just today 6 months later purchased a different camera. Like I said, it does take beautiful pictures...when you can actually get the shot you intended.

Comment: I've had this camera for almost 3 days and I've been playing with it since. I have to say, if you are a bigging photographer this is not for you, or you will struggle with the features for a while. It's pretty heavy and maybe a little too good looking. No view finder! (not that you'd need one) The setting's wheel at the top is very nice. Sometimes you just wanna turn it around for pleasure. This camera has a whole lot of settings. You can pretty much do anything you wish with this camera: change aperture, shutter speed, etc. As I said, I haven't had this camera for long but so far, I love it very much. For those who previously owned or now own a digital camera, the zoom buttons are probably right and left right? This camera's zoom buttons is up and down. It takes some time to getting used to it.

Summary: Nice camera
Comment: I am using this camera for 1 month, I have to say that it is bigger and heavier than it seems on the pictures. But when I use and learn more about, I definitely like it. You have full control on every setting with really impressive video recording quality. Good battery life and user friendly menus. The only defect I found is, if you zoom during recording a video, the sound fades away. One of my friend has NV10, and its same. I think this is related with the software of Samsung camera. Whatever, you got a nice camera for a good price.
