Not the best, but not the worst either August 18, 2010

The camera takes good pictures, and the front screen is fun, but there's already 2 black lines across the back screen..... I don't think it should damage that easily... It doesn't affect the outcome of the photo any though. It's just a nuisance.
 Horrible. August 7, 2010

I had seen many commercials for this camera, thought the front screen was a cool feature, and really needed a new digital camera. All the qualities I need seemed to be there, so I went ahead and bought it. I wished I had waited awhile and read more reviews and not just bought it because it was new and different and had that extra screen feature. It is SUCH a waste of money. I wish I had figured it out before my return policy expired, because it was such a disappointment. I brought it with me to Florida and went to a theme park and managed to get decent pictures only because I stood super still and had time to stand there and take a picture rather then shoot quick ones. I found that the button kept getting stuck whenever I tried to snap a quick picture, and I'd have to repeatedly press and hold until it actually got the shot. Then about a week later I brought it with me to a concert for a band that I have been waiting to see for 5 years, and I got nothing but blurry, horrible pictures. It was so disappointing. I repeatedly tried changing the settings thinking that would make a difference and it really didn't. I took 226 pictures that night and the only sharp, decent ones I got maybe counted to about 10. The zoom was horrible and I was only 5 rows from the stage, yet people I know who were 20 rows back had clearer pictures then I did, and made it look like they were where I was sitting. You could make out facial features and details with their pictures and it looked so close you'd think they were standing right in front of them, yet I could see the veins on the guitarists hands and couldn't even capture a solid picture. Needless to say I won't ever buy Samsung again, and have contemplated calling them up and telling them about their awful product but figured this would be much more beneficial. Do not waste your money. The front screen isn't even worth it, even if you take a lot of self portraits or pictures with other people, the screen may seem convenient but the picture will probably end up unfocused anyways, don't bother.
 Buttons hard to read July 21, 2010

I needed a camera quickly and bought this camera today for a function this weekend. It is going back to the store tomorrow. The problem is the case of the camera is black plastic and the functions buttons on the back are black on black, making them almost impossible to read. Why they put black on black is beyond comprehension. This camera is going back as I need to be able to see what the buttons are for without a flashlight. Now that I'm reading other reviews the picture quality seems to be lacking in this camera also.
 Doesn't focus in video July 15, 2010

I like the fact that there's a small screen in the front, but right after the picture's taken, the camera must stay there for a second in order for the camera to process it and the picture not be blurry. It wouldn't be so much a problem if I had steady hands. Also, in video, when you put text close up, it won't focus, which I'm sad about b/c I like to film videos that involve reading small text from time to time.

I got this on sale for about $129, though its going for about $99 right now.
Pros: Cheap/Affordable!, quality scenic photos, portable, lightweight
Cons: Feels cheap, everything from the buttons to the rotating options wheel wreaks of poor construction. VERY poor at taking up close pictures (Thinking of taking a picture of a receipt or a ID with this camera? Think again!). rear LCD screen feels smaller than similar sized LCD's. Doesn't retract the zoom feature when in photo viewing mode like my canon.
Other notes:
The front LCD really isnt as useful as one might think, unless you're taking a face shot of yourself, you most likely won't be using it.
The rear LCD is a bit indented and looks smaller than other comparable LCD's.
Most of the picture taking modes are useless... but that's to be expected with this pricing.
Summary: Would I buy this camera again? well I wish I had bought it at that $99 price tag instead of $129. It's cheap, it works great for scenic photos, it would make a good present for a teenager as the frontal LCD is fancy all be it rather useless outside of self photos.
