Summary: ARGGGHHH! Oh the frustration!
Comment: Love the camera! Hate the dang Power button. Whoever designed this stupid, itty-bitty, tiny, button should be smacked in the face. Other than that this camera works beautifully! It's great for those candids of my 1 year old daughter! Just beware of trying to turn it on with fat fingers!

Summary: Compact camera, decent/good for up-close still images only.
Comment: The camera is small and lightweight. The battery is pretty good.
The menu is not user friendly. For someone who is unwilling to read a camera manual, or someone who isn't familiar with most cameras, the camera is a pain. The interface is not intuative-- at ALL. I say that as a "techie."
The camera has problems with shutter speed. There is a serious, problemic lag between photos. I have to hold the camera for at least several seconds for the image not to be blurred. It's ruined many photos for me. Even my 5+ year old digital camera doesn't blur photos and have such a horrible lag as this.
Usually I like Samsung products, but I'm dissapointed with the performance of this item. I say that haven't used it nearly 1.5 years now. I wish I had purchased something else. Perhaps at the time of purchase, it was an "ok" camera, but now.. it's behind on so many levels. Even when it first came out, CNet gave it a rather bad review.
If you find it cheap, and don't want to take action shots-- such as someone posing for you (hah!) for 10 seconds or longer, it could work for you. The shutter lag is a huge issue. I can't express this enough. The image quality-- when it actually doesn't blur the photos-- is okay. It's not stellar, not great, but decent. I plan on getting something else in the near future.

Summary: Good camera for the price
Comment: I owned this camera for about a year. I really had no complaints about the picture quality or the cameras interface, and the video quality was surprisingly good as well. It is a tough little camera(mine was dropped more than a few times with no problems) and the software that was supplied with the camera did it's job. I live in a harsh climate (for digital camera's anyway), very salty and humid, so my did eventually succumb to the brash forces of the climate.

Summary: Nice Camera!
Comment: This camera comes with everything. It came with a rechargable battery, camera dock, soft carrying case and all the necessary cables including a cable to connect it to your television if you like. Takes very good pictures. I was able to buy the camera for $99.99 If you can find it for that price buy it right away!!!
Customer Rating:

Comment: with this 5 mega still camera, you can take about 70 minutes 640X480@30fps mpeg4 video if you have a 1g SD memory card! think of the price is under $100!
