samsung camera
This camera is perfect for what I bought it for. It is a second camera that is very portable and fits in my pocket. The pictures are pretty good, my grandkids had red eye but the software that came with the camera cleaned it up.

Nice camera
Purchased this camera just before going on vacation. I was a little worried about response time from clicking the button to taking a picture because of past cameras. I have been impressed with other Samsung products, so I decided to give it a try. So far I have been impressed.
The response time has been great. The exception to this is when using the flash or digital image stabilization. Both of these features can cause a delay. Otherwise it is quick to capture the picture and then the screen stays blank while it processes. This is better than some of my other cameras that blanked the screen before capture.
I have been very impressed with the image quality in well lighted areas. With the flash, indoors works well with the tendency to blur, and that is why the image stabilization is nice. So in the end it has some of the same problems as other digital cameras(blurred low light pictures), yet it also has the options(flash and image stabilization) to overcome these problems if you can deal with the drawbacks of other cameras(slow response).

Surprisingly simple and elegant
I love samsung, kind of a loyalist ever since I got into a plasma tv from them. I wanted to buy a samsung camera that was small enough to be portable and powerful enough not to let me down. I liked the features on the outside of the box and it was cheap, I had only hoped the thing would be easy to use (powershot was a nightmare, and same with my fujifilm finepix). The menu system is pure genius and you can get to what you need very quickly. Battery life is "ok" considering how much this thing does and how great the pictures turn out. I bought a 2 gig card to go with it. My favorite feature is actually the video recording, it does this in VGA and at 30FPS! I then hooked the camera up to my Playstation 3 and it recognized it immediately and I played the videos right off of it! Awesome camera for the price. Samsung- you rock my world.

Takes nice pics and movies; a certified battery punisher
The manual that comes with the sl30 recommends Alkaline batteries or rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. I have found that, no matter which type you use, this camera goes through batteries much more quickly than my previous point and shoot, the Canon Powershot A95. I believe the problem is in the design. The Powershot used 4 AA cells and had a smaller display, and the Samsung sl30, with a larger display, uses only two AA cells. This design choice kept the camera compact and light. But I think Samsung was somewhat disingenuous in making the calculated decision to get the consumer in the door with the sexiness of this little camera, and then leave them holding the bag when it comes to the most routine aspect of ownership/upkeep.
Whereas I was able to take the Canon along for a nine hour day at Disneyland this summer and never give a second thought about battery life, the Samsung sl30 has depleted one of it's three bars indicating battery power left just in casual (not constant) shooting around the house and yard for less than an hour total. 30 more shots and a couple of short movies later, and time to reload. (A friend says that sudden battery depletion is a characteristic of rechargeables: two or three bars indicating battery health one minute, then kaput the next. I can't swear that this is always or even often true, but since I have had this camera, I have seen things which make me believe it. I have seen it go from three bars -- full battery indicator -- to the dread battery replacement message in the space of less than five minutes, on the next power-up.)
So the consumer has two choices with this camera, as I see it, if they buy it and decide to keep it. You can make a major investment in Alkaline batteries at Megamart, always carrying a couple of sixteen packs of them with you on vacation, and just try to forget that this thing uses batteries like a toy cassette recorder from 1970. Or you can buy a brace of rechargeables and always have a couple of rechargers plugged in back at the hotel with all slots filled.
Important note: The Duracell Ni-MH battery recharger I bought just for the batteries specified for this camera (which are rated at 1700 mAh, by the way) lists a recovery time of a whopping five hours. Yes, I said "five hours". With the Samsung sl30, spontanaeity -- that selling point so beloved by advertisers, that quality so coveted by consumers of cameras of this class -- certainly takes a back seat to old school camera nerd/hobbyist planning ahead and lugging extra supplies around.
To explain my rating, I give the camera almost 5 stars for the quality of pics it takes, and ease of use. (The flash on the sl30 is more forgiving than the super-hot flash on the Canon Powershot A95; this was my one complaint with the Canon the whole time I had it.) I allow it a somewhat generous 3 stars because of the battery problem. Net out around 4.
Not a terrible camera. But I think it's important that you know what you're getting into when you buy this camera. If getting on the battery-buying or battery-stress track is a deal breaker for you, you might want to look at a different camera.
