+ Huge screen. Easy to use. Ability to lock photos that you wan to keep on the camera. When you upload photos onto your computer it only uploads new ones so you don't get loads of repeats on your computer. Its pink!!

- Images take a few seconds to appear when the quality is on a high setting.

+ 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...

+ 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.

+ 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....

+ I love the quick click process as with some cameras you have to wait a couple of seconds while the camera focus on the object or person, but with this you can press button and it takes it straight away, and i love the viewing screen it is nice and big so you can seee everything you are taking a photo of.
