Samsung WB150F 14.2-megapixel Digital Camera - White

I did a lot of comparing online, knowing I had to replace a crummy Canon I have. I discovered this model and compared it to many others in the same price range and above. I got it yesterday, and I've already taken several movies and pictures and sent one by email from the camera! This particular model/color was $100 LESS than the same product at Walmart, and far exceeds the features of many more expensive cameras. I am not tech-savvy at all, yet I was able to figure this one out with the easy to understand features in the menu. It is VERY friendly to those of us that haven't caught on yet to new technology symbols. There are editing features that you would only find in an online photo editing website. Well worth the money, with sharp, clear pictures, and great streaming video! If you don't mind a white camera, go for it! Highly recommend. UPDATE 4/8/2013: Have taken numerous pictures and a few videos with this fine camera. I have had several past cameras in this price range (not from Amazon) that seemed like toys, in looking back. It is a "Smart" camera that is so easy to use. This camera got knocked off a counter top to a tile floor, and nothing broke. It still works great, like nothing happened. Have always been impressed with Samsung products, and this just reinforces my trust in Samsung quality. Great camera at a great price! UPDATE 4/29/2013: I become more impressed each time I use this camera. I made a movie joining various clips and viewed on HDTV. The quality of the wide screen, HD video is professional looking. My friend couldn't believe what he was seeing! Absolutely amazing! To say the least, I am thrilled with this camera. UPDATW 5/6/2013 After a 4 hour pontoon trip in beautiful Lake Jocassee, South Carolina, I and others with way more expensive cameras are absolutely flabbergasted. There's even software in the camera to get rid of the "jiggles" during bumps in the water. You can edit your video with on screen directions without even connecting to your computer. ALL of the different shades of blue/green/blue-green mountains created a spectacular backdrop to the emerald water, and close ups of flowers and vegetation. I captured all the falls, including the audio sound of he water. The only thing I would change is the zoom, which has a small wheel that zooms too fast... other than that, this is a perfect camera... also great still pictures. You won't regret getting one... it's $100 cheaper on Amazon than Walmart, same model!

I originally bought this camera for myself. It never really worked right. It would shut itself off and there was a rattling noise, as if the lens was loose?? I liked it for the filters and the fact that you can shoot manually. The manual is a real pain to maneuver around. The pictures are not very sharp either, which might have something to do with that rattle...but hey what do you want for that price? It is a relatively cheap "smart" camera. Long story short, my sister really wanted one so, thinking these problems were isolated to my camera, I bought her one for Christmas. Well, I just found out that it never worked from the start. She felt bad bringing it to my attention (I had to ask about the camera to find out!) I wish I had known, I would have exchanged it back in January. The warranty has already expired! What a shame...my sis thought she was getting something really cool but instead she got a box with a broken camera!! Thanks a lot Samsung.

This is a good camera if you're sort of starting out and don't know much about how quickly zooms can work or how sturdy anti-shake options can be on a point and shoot camera. The camera has some amazing functions and takes really great pictures! However, the zoom wasn't always as clear as what I thought it should have been. If you're going to be taking any videos with this camera, and you want to zoom in and out on your subject - don't. It takes at least 1 second each time to refocus as you zoom, no matter how slowly you try to zoom in or out. For me, that's too much blur to rewatch with the family back at home. At the end of the day, this is a descent camera for the price. But before you buy it, I'd go to a camera store and check it out yourself. I didn't and just based my decision off of others' reviews, and I was disappointed. I ended up returning it and putting a little more money towards the Sony WX-300 (which has not disappointed me yet!)
