Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight, Realistic color, dual view, multiple features
no cons!
BLURRY PICTURES - when taken in low light conditions:
YES - this does occur. It did when I used the camera for the first time.
REASON - the user may not see the funky 'hand' that is displayed which indicates a questionable photo.
The simple solution is to set the MODE to 'SMART AUTO' ! THIS SHOULD BE THE DEFAULT MODE for the camera.
The first photos I took in low light were blurry. I thought the camera was defective. After I went into the user manual (which was NOT a hard copy but a disk) I figured out what was going on. Samsung should put in instructions on how to use the 'common' functions of a camera.
DIFFICULT TO USE:
MAYBE YES - For the 'average user' who has little experience in photography. But only -IF- they do not set the camera in 'SMART AUTO', or try and figure out what all the MENU items are.
If you just want to POINT AND SHOOT set the MODE to SMART AUTO.
For the EXPERIENCED user this camera allows you to create photos any way you want. It's quite amazing how many settings you can manipulate.
SLOW RESPONSE between shots:
PERHAPS - This has a -slower- response than some of my other cameras. But this also depends on the lighting and resolution settings. However, I bought this for carry around, not rapid picture taking.
BATTERY not standard:
NO it is not - Problem is, if you want a -very small- camera you must have a -very small- battery. Resulting in an no standard (AA or AAA) battery. Get a larger camera if you want such a battery.
