Alot for the money

Strengths: Price. 33X optical zoom. Multicard format for stills and MPEG4 recording. Big wide-screen. Very light. Relatively easy to use. Multi-format mini DVD media accepted.

Weakness: Viewfinder produces very small image and does not tilt to the angle of your choice. Colors not as vibrant as some expensive models. Have not figured out how to take a photo during video-shutter lag..

Samsung sent me a free battery and It is no better....

Strengths: It's small and sleek.

Weakness: The view lens produces a very small picture. Doesn't format dvd. Always comes up with an error. SD slot is in a un-usually place. Strap on camera isn't study enough.

Well I purchased this camera this last month and before I did I made sure that I read up on the reviews. The reviews didn't seem that bad, basically this camera is meant for someone who isn't photo savy. Which I am not. I just want to take a picture and video that's all. I got this camera and it looked great when I took it outta the box but that was it. I turned it on and immediately there was an...
