Great bargain camera

This was the $69.95 door-buster on the front page of Wal-Mart's 5AM Black Friday sale brochure and was especially designed by Samsung for this purpose, but was more easily available on their web site for the same price from about 4-7 AM. I bought two knowing I could return them if I didn't like it, but I DO like it. I'm not a beginner, I've been using 35mm Single Lens Reflex cameras for 49 years, but this Samsung will take great pictures for beginners or professionals. It is great to just stick in your pocket and take it everywhere. It will take very detailed pictures that can be enlarged to great sizes, and the pictures can be resized and cropped inside the camera or on your computer. It takes sound videos that are easily attached to emails or uploaded to YouTube. It is easy to zoom in or out and even come in for detailed close-ups that are in focus even up to three or four inches. You might want to turn off the flash for that, but this is easy to do. You must get a memory card for it, but a 4 gig. SDHC card is now as cheap as $15 and will hold thousands of pictures or almost an hour of video at the highest resolution setting. That's cheap enough to not have to erase pictures -- just keep the card and get a new one when it is full. Uses two AA batteries, so you don't have to stop and plug into a recharger. Always carry a spare set. It recycles very quickly and the delay when you press the shutter before the picture is actually shot is very short -- perhaps a second or less depending on the light. You should have gotten it on Black Friday, but if you can find it now for a price reasonable to what it was then, then hop to it. I haven't even gotten to all the extra features built in, and there is a 100 page users manual for you to look thru or print out from the included CD-ROM, but you'll be able to get good use of the camera right out of the box with the short starter booklet included.
