I recently brought this camera and am very pleased with the basic features whcih it has.

I mainly brought this camera whilst in Bangkok as at £135 they were offering free tripod, case and a 128mb card with this camera which made it very worthwhile.

The camera itself has very good features and a 1.8" screen which especially attracted me. At 4 megapixels the camera has very good resolution and the pictures print out very well.

However, the main disadvantage of this camera is that there is no viewfinder. So you can only take photos from looking at the display screen. This may sound ok but I found that having to hold the camera away from me meant that my hand shook slightly when taking the photo and this does sometimes show when looking at the photo. Of course the advantage with the digital is that you can delete any bad pictures and re-take but it is still a bit of a problem.

The other disadvantage is that the camera does not record voice and sound together so you can record moving clips but not the sound part of it.

However, for taking basic pictures this is a great camera and a decent size. It is not too small that you can lose it and not big like the others which have larger viewscreens.

Overall it is well worth the money that samsung charge for it.
