Feature rich and takes beatiful Pics
This camera is not as good as some you can get in this price range, but it has a few very specific features that make it unique and definitely worth it if you are like me, the only photographer of an active family.I bought it almost solely because of the front LCD screen allowing me to take pictures of myself and other family members, and the Wifi Mobile App that allows me to use my cell phone as the viewfinder and picture taking remote, which allows me in even more pictures, and makes setting up posed group shots very easy.

Both of these features work well. There is another App available that allows the camera to send me pictures through Wi-Fi without having to use a computer. Two important things to know about these features is:
1)*Update* The apps are now available to everyone in both Apple and Android Appstores.But Samsung advised me they do not guarantee it to work with non-samsung phones.
2)As with all apps they can be hit and miss, and sometimes take a few...

Missing a key feature
I am not interested in Wi Fi capabilities---what I want is a good camera that performs well and is compact and easy to carry. (I have a big honker with fancy lenses, etc if I want that.) It is missing something very important: the ability to snap a photo quickly. The shutter lag is *terrible*---unless the subject is a statue and doesn't move, I miss shot after shot. Add a flash and it gets even worse. Even my old 2003 Sony Cybershot does better in this. What good are all these fancy features when such a basic one is missing?

I am about to give up on this and get something else, even though it's only 4 months old. I am going to an event tonight and can't risk missing the shots, so am taking the old Sony instead.
