+ the camera is small so fits in to small bags. i like the colour. not heavy - good zoom feature

- flash is always low - even after been fully charged - and pics taken at nightime are of poor quality
sometimes turns itself off - or will just freeze so the battery needs to be taken out and put back in

+ compact, excellent value for money, fits into your pocket easily. Picture quality at 8 megapixels is fine for everyday use. A great little camera to slip in your pocket and keep with you all the time. Battery life is very good. Build quality is good, typical Samsung, this little camera is a great buy. Will buy several more for other members of my family!

- menu could be easier to use, flash not that great with the pictures I have taken so far. but for the price....

+ The battery life is fantastic
The build quality is good and the image quality is just great.
Overall a great camera and fantastic value for money.

- The time it takes between pressing the button and taking the photo is quite long. This is not entirely a point and shoot camera it is a point wait and shoot. It is no different from many digital cameras in this respect, but it is no faster either
It makes you think you've taken the photo when actually it is just the first flash of the red eye redction process and you move the camera off the subject... and hey presto another photo of someones shoes for the collection.

+ I bought this as a gift for my parents and they love it - they find it relatively easy to use, like the fact that its light weight and compact, and are very happy with the picture quality and cost.

- No real bad points but I personally found the build quality a bit cheap and plastic and not sure how robust it would be if it happened to fall out of you pocket...
