I'm considering returning this camera.

Functions are not so bad considering the price.
But, battery life is really short. It's maybe because this camera does not work on the voltage which is a little lower than full.

I could use the battery battered from this camera for the other camera.

I just bought this camera (red version) for my son's birthday. We used the batteries that came with it, they died right away. We have since put in at least 6 sets of new batteries, and they all have gone on to the big waste dump in the sky within an hour. Being that its been only two weeks, I am returning this piece of junk to the store from which it came this weekend, and giving my son the money to buy what he wants.

My recommendation: Spend a little time looking for a better quality camera than this one. Pictures were good though, at least the ones we managed to take before it died.

I take pictures of cars for car dealers for a living and this camera is just what we needed, something CHEAP that takes very good photos. The battery life, unlike some other statements, is great for me. I can go all day, usually around 600 shots and not have to swap out batteries. I use 2500mA batteries from Wal-Mart and have used the same set for two years now, every single day! I did manage to drop the camera pretty hard on a parking lot and the battery door flew open and batteries flew out across the lot, but when I put them back in, the camera worked fine and this was a month ago. It did damage the nice red finish, but that's not too important to me. The 2.5" LCD is a little hard to see in direct sunlight, but not nearly as bad as my old Canon Powershot camera. Indoor performance is not so great though, so if you're wanting something to do indoor portraits or lots of flash photography, you better not get this one.

One of the best point and shoot digital cameras I've ever used. The photo editing features are phenomenal too.

It is amazing all the functions Samsung packs into this little camera--probably more than you will ever use. The only downsides are the lack of an optical viewfinder (the kind you look through) for composing in bright sunlight, and the lack of a printed manual. The printed one that comes with it only covers the minimal basics, while the Adobe on-computer manual is very long and difficult to read, since you constantly paging back and forth. It gets very tiring and discouraging after a while.

We bought our German exchange student a digital camera for Christmas. It was a different make, and it lasted all of four months before heading to the great recycling center in the sky. When I discovered the camera we had bought only had a 3 month warranty, I felt badly and decided to get her a replacement that might actually last for a decent period of time.

After researching various cameras, I discovered this particular camera. It was the right price, had similar features to the one we had previously given her and it had a 1 year warranty. Also, the warranty is good worldwide, allowing her to get warranty service in Germany if it becomes necessary. That is not a common feature in other makes.

After several weeks of use, she is thrilled with the way it works. It takes wonderful pictures for a point and shoot, and is constructed of far better materials than similar priced cameras. I will admit that it does take a little while to record a picture, and it does inhale batteries, but these are problems that we saw in her previous camera, and I think are a function of the price.

Overall, for the price and type of camera, we are extremely happy and would buy another Samsung camera in a flash. If you are looking for a sophisticated camera, look elsewhere, but if you want a quick point and shoot camera, this is an ideal choice.

i love this camera. it is the simplest, prettiest camera with amazing features.

at first i was VERY dissapointed with battery life, but you just need the "duracell rechargables"

i use my camera all day almost everyday. i recorded about 3 hours of a 6 hour ceremony and it was on the whole time, the batteries never went down. they work a LOT better than non-rechargables, and you can recharge them - it totally changes the outlook on digital cameras. you can also get a charger for them that takes about 15 minutes to charge 4 batteries. for a procrastinator like me, thats a HUGE plus

you can get 4 AA batteries for about $10 or a charger and 4 batteries for $40

thats probably how much you would spend on batteries in a couple months anyway.

i recommend this camera to anyone! i even took a perfect crystal clear image of a hummingbird in flight. e-mail me for proof! if you're looking for a camera right now, CONGRATULATIONS! you just found it.

Using the two included Panasonic alkaline batteries the unit came from, I ran out of juice after taking a dozen pictures and transferring one (as test) to my computer. My old, battered, taped-together Nikon Coolpix 5200 (does everybody have trouble with broken battery doors on Coolpix units?) *never* gave me a low-battery warning. The rechargeable battery seems to run forever - I recharge it "preventatively" every 5-6 weeks! The Samsung may be OK for the money in other respects, but this kind of power management snafu pretty much turned me off the brand altogether.

I bought this camera for 99 bucks. Its pretty good. The batteries it comes with only last 10 minutes,problably less. So I went out a bought a 2 hour battery charger from Wolf Camera. It costed me 24 bucks and it came with 4 rechargeable batteries. I strongly recommend the charger because you will spend about 15 dollars every week for special AA batteries. The employee at the store told recommended it to me and he told hes used the same batteries for four years now. But anyways, you have to spend a little bit of time learning how to work the camera. The pics come out pretty good. I recommend the a 512mb card or bigger. You can set the photo quality settings it determines how many pix can record on your memory card.

I like the camera, Ive gotten used to it, but I still have to figure out somethings, but all in all, this camera is well worth it.

this should really be a 4 1/2, but it does not give that option, so I rounded up since I like almost everything about the camera, and it is great for what I bought it for. I bought this lightweight small camera to keep in my purse-for those unexpected shots you want to take. I have a Sony Cypershot with a 12X optical that I normally use. The Sony is great for action shots and taking marching band shots from the bleachers. This one, I'm not sure could do that. It has a 3x optical, which is fine for zooming in on a person across the room, but not as far as into the football field. The in-camera zoom is ok for trimming, but I noticed it does lose some of the clarity on the shot.
The one drawback to this camera is the lag time between shots. If you like capturing shot after shot quickly-avoid this camera. However, if you are someone who generally takes shots of people at birthday parties, or objects on your vacation, this might be a great camera for you. It is a decent camera for the price. For what I wanted it for, it is perfect.
Ok, to sum up:

PROS
Small, lightweight
Good picture quality
Can take an SD card up to 4GB (That's A LOT!)
Easy to use
Inexpensive-goes on sale sometimes for around $100
Can take rechargeable batteries (I recommend for ALL digital cameras)
Video capabilities
Software compatable with older Windows(in case you need that)

CONS
Lag time between shots
In Camera Zoom loses picture quality

As you can see, I like most of the features. If you are looking for a decent, inexpensive point and shot type camera, then this might be the one for you.
