Great, Affordable Digitsl Camera!
I got this camera as an anniversary gift from my boyfriend. It was affordable, and it looks very modern and sleek. I dont have any problems with taking indoor or outdoor pictures, and it gives a healthy glow to the picture that makes skin, fur, or anything with texture look beautiful. Great for a first camera cause its not hard to use, and doesn't have as many buttons as other cameras but still takes good quality pictures. With most un generic brands of batteries, it takes pictures for a good 4-8 hours.

Ridiculously low battery life
This camera was given to my husband and I as a gift about 2 years ago now (Dec. 2005). This thing has a battery life of zero. From day one, we could only take 6 or 7 photos before the camera died and the batteries had to be replaced (we always use premium alkalines). The recharger that came with it was no help - recharged batteries don't work. My mother-in-law also received the camera then and hers has the same problem. As far as I'm concerned, the picture quality doesn't matter -- I can't use this camera without bringing a stack of batteries with me. Totally worthless.

(update) nanual mode works better than default
I got this cam this weekend
the pic is good, except one thing
the tint is a little bit blueish
with flash, the pic looks normal
after a while to tweak the cam, found using manual mode, and fine tune to get more ideal effect
on white balance part (use manual mode, then press +/- button to AWB mode, then use d-pad to change), change it to sun or high-lighting (the 2nd or 4th), then the pic is more natural, no more blueish
on video recording, it don't work well under dark enviornment, the quality is OK, not better than DV (it's avi format)
here is my suggestion on using this cam
default mode works better outdoors or with flash; using manual mode, with instruction stated above to get more natural pic
use 2000mA/h or higher Ni-MH battery, or rechargable CR-V3 battery (it can take 50+ pics without flash)
avoid dark enviornment when taking video, and the video player must support DIVX
buy 256MB or higher SD or MS DUO card (this cam supports 1GB SD card, at least with Lexar 32x)
use "point-shift-fire" trick to get more optimized brightness
after manually configured the cam, I am more satisfied with this cam, at least for the price, this cam is more configureable under manual mode

Excellent Piece of Machinery
I bought this last November. The main reason was because it was on sale but absolutely no regrets. It is a wonderful camera. I had done some research on amazon on one of the top name brands and found that many were displeased with it. Then when I read the reviews on this on, I just had to write a review to complement the already great reviews. The only thing I should stress is that the buyer also buy a pair of rechargable batteries with this. Besides that nothing else for this A material.

small and sharp
This samsung camera is great, the pictures come out excellent; I compared the quality to other cameras and it is by far the best I've seen for such a good price! Also the mini clips are so good, it's like having a video recorder! And the camera is really small in size, that's a plus! I would recommend it to anybody.
