Great if all you want is an extremely basic camera.,
I give this camera 4 stars because if all you’re looking for is a basic, literally point and shoot camera. Look no further, this may be it.
What I was looking for:
– something very slim that I could put in my pocket as I do my smartphone
– great picture quality
– decent optical zoom
– HD video recording
It met and/or exceeded those areas.
Pros:
– This thing is tiny. Just a tad bit thicker than an iPhone
– Great pictures when you have adequate light
– Decent flash for low light photos
– WIFI + BONUSES. You can read the specs but this one thing is cool so I have to mention. You can install an app on your iPhone or Android device that allows you to use your phones screen as the display for the camera to take pictures. Some may say this is useless, but it basically allows for remote control of the camera. I found it very handy.
– Battery lasted an entire day of picture taking at Disney
– Can snap pictures of the kids and get a clear shot even when they are not perfectly still.
Cons:
– Other than the (Smart) auto mode, this camera is seriously lacking in advanced manual controls. You can’t change the aperture and such. You can change the shutter speed in a “Night” mode, but the lowest you can do it is 1 second. I understand in night you may want a longer shutter delay, but what if I wanted the shutter to operate faster? No dice.
– Menu navigation isn’t ideal. For a basic camera there shouldn’t be a need to access certain features under then home > settings button and option, then have to access similar options under the menu button and sub menus. Options are too scattered.
– Low light pictures are not great without flash. I compared this to my iPhone 4 and iPhone 5 and in every situation the iPhone 5 out performed it.
– Continuing on with the feedback about shutter speed. Pictures can easily get blurred if say you were on a slow moving ride or tour and trying to snap a picture. Anti shake didn’t help with that.
I returned it mainly for the limited manual controls. I’m not a basic user. If you are happy not changing the settings and don’t take picture while in any kind of motion you’ll be happy and it does give you good pictures.
I mainly want a DSLR and something small and expensive to compliment it when I travel light on a day to day. I returned it as it doesn’t work for me, but I still think it’s a great camera for many. It was $99 when I got it at best buy, it was also $99 on Amazon at the time. At the moment it’s $84 on Amazon. As the price decreases this camera becomes more and more attractive.

Great little camera with cool features for a good price.,
My wife and I bought this camera for a cheap and compact little camera for our trip to Las Vegas. We wanted the convenient Wifi picture transfer, and got so much more. She has a Canon Rebel t3 so we wanted something small. It fits easily in your pocket and is very light weight.
I LOVE the Samsung Smart Camera app. It takes this camera from a cheap point in shoot to an amazing device.
I cannot say enough good things about the remote view finder. You can setup your camera and wirelessly view what you look like and hit the picture button on your android phone!
Wifi photo transfer is easy and convenient. No more cables, or taking out the memory stick to put into the computer and then forgetting it.
Wireless upload! This camera can link to your phone, and when you take a picture it appears on your phone ready to upload. You can send good quality photos instead of using the cruddy camera built into your phone.
This is a great little camera for a great price. It has some amazing features that are very convenient. Do not expect an amazing quality lens or picture for 100 dollars. Expect some state of the art functions and a great sized camera.
