Review: Old-looking / Worthless / Defective - Camera itself looked old and plain ugly upon receipt although description indicated as new. Not a slight chance to ship it back to seller as it arrived shortly before my scheduled international flight. Intentionally bought it for the specific travel but in only less than a week of minimal use and it's already malfunctioning!!! All pictures were so disappointingly blurry since day one!!! Shutter button got stuck during a family reunion...grrrrr!!! Definitely unacceptable!!!!! Wish I could get my money back but ran out of time to do so. Extremely mad, sad, regretful, frustrated, & entirely dissatisfied!!! First time to purchase a Samsung Digital Camera and surely will be the last one too!
Review: Good Buy - This camera is a great buy, but I ordered a black one and I got a red one... still, it's a good camera and the battery life is very good. It's easy to use, doesn't take up much room in your pocket, and takes very good photos. I looked up spare batteries on desertcart and found them relatively cheap. I suggest you get at least one backup battery if you are going on vacation.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall great phone
*by K***S on June 12, 2016*

The pictures I took on this camera were really good, I tried the panorama function on it and was surprised that it worked much better than the panorama function on my phone. If you are still wanting a camera outside of your phone this one seems to be really good. I don't think it had any stand-out wow factors, but it's easy to use, a good size, and takes great pictures. What more can you ask?
