Big waste of my money
I was really disappointed with this camera. I wish I had returned it. I went and bought a new (and cheaper) Nikon which I use instead.
Here were my problems with it:
Once you push the button to take a picture, it takes a couple seconds to take it. This is a dealbreaker for me with a camera. The five-year-old camera that I was replacing took pictures immediately.
The pictures have different dimensions than most cameras. So if you get your pictures developed at 4x6, you will either need to edit all the pictures first to crop them yourself, or risk peoples heads being chopped off. The dimensions are not a problem if you just look at your pictures on a computer. They are the dimensions of HDTV.
The ONLY reason I bought this camera was because of the front display. I am going on vacation with my boyfriend and wanted to take great pictures of the two of us in front of the Eiffel tower, etc. This feature let me down because the touch screen is so large on the back that when I turn it around I tend to accidentally touch it and mess with the settings. Also, since it takes so long to take the picture, someone usually does something weird with their face before the picture actually takes.
I did not find the use of this camera's menus, etc., to be intuitive. I am in my early twenties and can usually figure out new technology easily, and using this was frustrating. I absolutely do not recommend this product and I will never buy a Samsung again.
