I bought this camera brand new last year for our holidays for a very good price.

For about 8 months the camera was brilliant. I am not a photographer but the quality of the pictures was very good for the price I paid. The menus where a little clunky and hard to use but once I was used to them it was a pretty good and the options available are very useful for an amateur like myself.

After 8 months of use I had a couple of major issues with the camera: the buttons located in the upper right corner (zoom and the take picture button) ceased to function! I fixed this a month later by dropping the camera accidentally whilst taking to Samsungs warranty division over the telephone!

Overall though I would definitely recommend the camera as i believe my issues where a one off and the quality and value of the camera over shone this fact. The camera is still going strong as i type this!
