 Great Casual CameraJul 28, 2010
First off, this camera is gorgeous. People compliment me on how good this camera looks. Brushed steel look on the front is fantastic, same for the blue outline of lens. The screen is large and crisp, great for seeing detail in your images. The image quality (depends on scenario) is very clear, catches nice detail and noise/grain is very low compared to my Sony DSC W290, and comparable to my Nikon D50 DSLR camera. The camera is small and lightweight, will fit in your pocket and holds a battery charge for a day of several pictures w/o flash. The 720p video quality is lacking, very grainy. Sound is okay/average too, so don't use this camera if you want clear HD video with great sound. The features on this camera are nice, such as the smile detection and blink detection. Using the manual mode I am able to get beautiful night time shots (not of moving people, but of landscapes).
Overall this is a great point & shoot for if you want to get familiar with a camera, don't want to carry a DSLR camera around, or if you just want a camera that looks flashy, is reliable, and works well.

 great pictures horrible quality cameraJun 27, 2010
I got this camera back in November. Loved it and took many photos with it. Its like my DSLR but pocket sized. The reason i rated it so low is to get your attention to warn you. After a few month of babying this camera a spot appeared on the image sensor. With an SLR you can just hit a button on the camera and it'll clean itself, but not a point and shoot. I sent it into samsung and they replaced the sensor. Worked great for a few weeks until it stopped turning on. I had to remove the battery and replace it just to get the camera to turn on. Then this wouldn't even work. I tried a different battery, but nothing would help. Also when i managed to turn it on i noticed there was another spot in almost the same location. This camera was amazing, But Samsung, i have noticed, is not the best for quality. This camera is now a 400 dollar paper weight.

 Might prove to be a good product but service is questionableNov 28, 2009
I purchased this camera in part because of the use of the OLED display ( which does add to battery life significantly), I took a number of close up photos using the flash and the flash lens blacken. I called for service and was give a return ticket number, I UPS'ed the camera to the only repair shop on the west coast. They received it three weeks ago and I have yet to receive a confirmed return date. Each time I inquire I am told I will be shipped a replacement camera. I have called three times and each time the "date" for replacement approval slides to within two days of when I call. The service tracking web site looks good but no info about the repair or replacement ever seems to get onto the web site.
Update, it is now one month since the Samsung repair dept. in Cal. received my camera. Still no definite data for repair or replacement. Getting very discouraged.
Now one month and a week after Samsung repair dept. received my camera and still no definitely word about when I can expect a replacement or repair. Many calls, many promises but no action.
I guess I'll just have to write off the purchase of the camera to poor judgement on my part. Buyer beware still holds.....................
Surprise, Samsung clams to have ordered a replacement, only after 3 months of back and forth calls, e mails, etc. So I guess patience pays off? I still would be wary of Samsung service responsiveness.
