This review is from: Samsung EC-PL120 Digital Camera with 14 MP and 5x Optical Zoom (Black)Just recently purchased this camera for the wife. All the time while on vacation trips, while I am trying to capture a shot on my camera, I would get this little tug on the shirt sleeve from the wife pointing out something that would make a great picture, which of course then I would miss the shot I was about to take. The solution, get the wife a camera that she would enjoy using, easy to quickly just point and shoot along with capturing some great pictures. At first she wasn't sure about having a camera as she would just have me take the photo. Now that she has used the camera for a short peroid of time, I most likely would loose an arm, a leg or both if I tried to take it away from her. She very much enjoy using the camera, which by the way does take great pictures along with videos. Its very small, which makes it easy to put into your shirt pocket or paint pocket, but not too small that would make it hard to hold. I myself even found, after playing with the camera for a few minutes, thinking about going back and getting one for myself to use just as a carry around camera to keep in the car all the time. I was amaze with all the features it has for the price, such as even program mode for the more pro camera buffs. Even in low light, the auto smart setting did a very nice job of capturing a photo my wife made outside at night of our kids standing out in a parking lot of a resturant to where it even very clearly show the lights and signs in the background along with the subjets being photograph. Something that normally would have caused an issue with the lighting. Accidently the wife even found out that the smile feature really works, while checking the camera out, it took her photo when she smilled while looking the at the front of the camera. The display on the front is also a nice feature to have that you wouldn't expect to find in this price range. An issue that may be a con to some is that the camera only uses microSD memory stick instead of the standard sizde SD. To me, that wasn't an issue as most of the cell phones/camera combinations are now using the microSD and the prices have come down for the memory sticks. I guess this was due the fact that the camera is much smaller than some so they had to make room some how. We haven't done any fancy test shots to see how it compares to other cameras, but after using it, don't really see any reason to. Its a fun little camera to have on trips or even around the home. Its has too many features to list them all here as one can check out the specs or google the camera to find more about it. The camera can capture at lower resolutions, if one need to save space on the memory stick. Also as you zoom the camera it will show you if its shooting at 14.2 or lower resolution to compesate for the digital zoom. It comes with an AC USB adapter that charges the battery while in the camera. Yep, it uses rechargable battery instead of AA or AAA. The same USB cord is also used to connect the camera to the computer for uploading photos or for downloading firmware and for special graphics for the children feature on the camera. The CD that comes with the camera is only for the manual, a pdf file in many languages. The software is stored in the camera, so once it is connected to the computer, it will ask you if its ok to install the software to transfer pictures. The camera is also seen as a hard drive, so if you don't want to use their software, which seems fairly nice, one can just copy and paste the photos. I am running a desktop computer that uses windows 7 and didn't have any issues with getting the camera to be seen by the computer. I also connected the camera to my netbook which has windows xp and also no issues there. Not sure what happen with the other person that review the camera other than he may have gotten one that was bad from stock. The camera does comes in several colors, but only have found the black one avail at the local stores. With the 8gb microSD memory stick, it showed that around 1800 and something pictures could be taken in the highest quality mode. There are now so many point and shoot cameras on the market and they all seem to do about the same in the quality of the pictures they take, that the only way to find the one you really like it too look at the features the camera has, what you are wanting to use the camera for, and how does it feel when holding the camera. Most people now use the point and shoot cameras to send the photos via email or upl...
