Consumer review by: Ph0t0gr4pher (cnet.com)

Promising camera with a good price point.

For a budget Point and Shoot, the SAMSUNG ST65 rocks. The pros of this camera outweigh the cons by far. Having used a DSLR, the cons are more of a nuisance, one couldn't/shouldn't expect more from a camera under $100.

Price ; Features(14MP, Exposure Compensation, ISO 80-3200, Face Detection, Selectable focus, 3 metering modes, Styles, Filter Effects, Image Adjustment [Contrast, Sharpness, Saturation], Auto Contrast, Bracketing, and much more ; 720p Video ; Size

No way to turn off digital zoom in program mode ; Menus could be a bit more intuitive in some areas ; Micro SD card ; Playback button & Function button should be swapped to make a bit more intuitive ; Charging/USB cable ; f/3.5 - f/5.9 aperture

Nice Subcompact Camera from $65

Size, small enough to fit in your front pocket ; Features, many features found in the more expensive professional cameras, such as 12+ scenario profiles, smart mode, which will auto select a profile ; 14MPixel ; HD Video (720)

Halo artifacts when pointing at certain type of light sources (i.e. compact florescent lights) ; Small built in memory (must buy 8GB+ SD Micro) ; Dim LCD Display

Godd camera, great price

This was a closeout deal @ BB. The camera is small and easy to use. I even bought the extended warranty as suggested by the salesman. If he only sold me a memory card at the same time it would have gotten 5 stars.About me... casual user

Takes excellent pictures

Does NOT come with memory card

Works well

This camera was exactly what I was looking for, a simple point and shoot digital. I haven't had it too long but so far it's working great. I got it secondhand, and it was in very good condition, just as the listing said.
