Not worth the aggrvation, and I'm hopeing it's a defect.

I originally had the DV100, which I still hope to fix, but seeing as it was flooded with sand and then coke cola, I'm pretty sure it's a goner. So I was looking into getting another when I saw this DV150. I wish I just gotten another DV100 instead of getting this one. I saw that it had a couple features mine didn't and thought it would be pretty much the same. I couldn't have been more wrong.
The pictures I take with the DV150 are almost always blurry to the point where even Photoshop can't save the pictures from themselves. The button to take the picture is near impossible to use in the smart-auto setting and most of the others, so I can't take spontaneous photos anymore. I have to press as hard as I can just to use the button, so that only adds to it being blurry. It is blurry when when I have the camera on a solid surface. It never takes pictures in soft lighting well, so you can imagine what it's like to take photos at sunset. I haven't taken one with this camera that is was half way happy with.
I can't take pictures of anything that moves, the results are scary. If I'm out hiking, the photos it takes leaves me wondering why I even thought it would good to take the photo. My husband loves to take photos all the time. So instead of handing him the so called "better camera" I hand him my phone or ask him to use his phone. This camera does nothing but disappoint everyone involved in it. If it looks fine on the screen they think it will be fine on the print, we have been proven wrong every single time. Even the posts I put on facebook using the direct wifi provided on the camera, makes me wish I hadn't.
The two extra features on this camera I though would make it worth the buy, have turned out to nothing but an annoyance. The link up to facebook or any other website takes to long to use and as a techie, I'm frustrated that it was made to take that long to first find the feature and then connect to the internet. And then there's the limit to how many pictures I can upload at a time. It takes 6 to 8 hours each time.
As far as the zoom goes, based on personal performances, it's in a location that is a slight inconvenience for me. As for it's ability to take clear pictures from a distance, or even a close object I want a closer picture of, forget it. Blurry and distorted are all I can expect of this camera.
So I will be getting another DV100. I was nothing but amazed and impressed with that model and couldn't wait to use it again. So I always had it with me and took photos of anything that caught my eye and even set up little scenes just to use it. Please don't stop making cameras with the front facing LCD, I'm not one for selfies, but I love this feature. Makes my life so much easier when my niece and nephew want to take pictures of themselves or my husband and I are out for a walk together, or at the zoo.
Cons: Poor quality, Not high def, Did not meet expectations, read my review it's filled with cons.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Excellent Compact camera

Replaced my previous Samsung compact with the DV150F. Really like the front viewer, and Wi-Fi options that he old model did not have. Easy to set up, and a wealth of information available online. Not to mention that all the accessories I purchased for my previous camera were still good for this model.
Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this camera!!! This is my first Samsung Camera and I'm glad I bought it! I have always loved Samsung cellphones, which I now have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and Samsung Galaxy tab 2 and 3, So because of my love for these when it was time for a new Camera I had to try and find a Samsung. This camera is great! I love the LCD in front for taking photos of myself! Very cool and the screen works amazing. The Features on this are out of this world, I am in love! Its great that I can use this camera with either my tablet or cellphone. The camera is lightweight, very stylish, takes great photos, color is great! If you like doing more then just point and shoot, this is the camera for you!! You wont regret it!!
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, great features
I would recommend this to a friend!

It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the fight of the dog. It's an old saying about how much an underdog can dish out. This little point and shoot camera has a lot going for it. Not only is it a great value , but it's packed with features including WiFi, editing, selfie preview and more!!
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: hard to see in direct sunlight
I would recommend this to a friend!
