"After a lot of searching many different web sites
mainly looking for samsung because I have had a couple in the past and like the picture quality. I bought this for the many features and the good price. I have only used it once at my grandsons christening but I am more than happy with the pictures I took, I also took a couple of short videos and I am pleased with those too. The only thing with it is that there are so many features to get to grips with it will take a while till I have tested all on offer. I do wish that makers would go back to putting instructions in a booklet it is much more convenient, but this is a top class camera for the price. I have taken thousands of pictures with many different cameras and would say this is one of the best I've used, if you ues it in "smart mode" it's just point compose and click the camera will do the rest and you have loads of zoom if you need it.
