Don't Waste Your Time
I bought this camera 8 months ago when my Kodak EasyShare died three days after my first child was born. For $100 I figured I couldn't really go wrong. Oh, but was I was ever.
Others have mentioned the battery issue. The Duracell it comes with died in a matter of four hours. I had two options, scour my hometown for the $20 replacement or drop $60 on a rechargable.
At first it seemed like a great product, sleek design, tiny enough to slide into a jeans pocket, huge screen... I was in camera heaven until I really began to notice how the photos were turning out. The color/lighting balance on this little monstrosity is lacking at best. It hates indoor photos with a seething passion (regardless of how I set the different functions and sensitivities) and the only way you're going to get that perfect shot is if you have unyielding patience and TONS of bright, perfect lighting.
Having years and years of both traditional and digital photography experience, I can tell you with utmost assuredness that I wasn't doing anything wrong (that I could tell.)
The camera is very slow and the shutter speed is even worse. Don't for a moment expect to be able to take a crisp photo with the flash off. I've had endless frustration with this camera's quality and was especially shocked to realize my cheap Kodak was amazing comparatively.
Today, nine months after purchase, the focus died. Now the camera turns on, but when you attempt to depress the shutter to bring your image into focus, it just makes a horrible grinding noise. The mechanism is obviously bust, but I can't say I'm disappointed. It gives me an excuse to buy myself a nice new one... Maybe another Kodak, I'm thinking ;)

Great camera with many features
I recently purchased this camera and a fuji NP-60 charger and battery for the camera that interchanges with the Samsung camera. The camera's LCD can be viewed very clearly when held at the right angle. The camera has so many features that it will take some time just for me to learn all of them. The camera has: 5x digital zoom, 2sec,10sec and double self timer, voice memo recording with photo, movie clip recording with sound, still image photo mode, self portrait mirror to take your own photo, 9 photo frames to insert photos , day, night, cloudy, exposure compensation, sharpness and image quality adjustments, photo rotator, copy to SD card, and many other features. It is small enough to carry in your pocket, or on your belt with the pouch provided. I am very satisfied with the camera after previously owning an HP digital camera.

Battery problem
I can't really say much about the picture quality because once the battery runs out you're in trouble. Theyr'e very hard to find, very expensive, and don't last very long. If you buy this camera, consider the nessecity of paying $70 for the also hard to find rechargeable battery. (Seriously, samsung should refund everyone who bought this since you can't use it.)

boo this camera... BOOO
i bought this camera because i was told that for a 'first timer' this is one to have. the quality of pictures if you zoom is horrible. its unbelievably slow, you tend to miss the shot or people get tired of waiting. and if you dont have the rechargeable battery, its impossible to find the disposable version. save up your money, buy one that will give you the quality that you really want. big time thumbs down.
