Good camera, but no Samsung 2010 TV models support

I tried to play back a recorded video from two ST700 cameras at a Fry's Electronic store on 5 different Samsung 2010 TV's. All gave a " Not Supported Video Codec" message. Only 2011 Samsung TV models where able to play the recorded video. I used the...

Beauty mode is awesome, but the rest, not so much

I'll be honest, I bought this camera for the "beauty mode" feature. My friends have this camera and our photos always looks flawless. What woman doesn't want a flawless photo? Before this camera I had a Canon Powershot ELPH 100HS 12 MP, which I loved,...

Love this Camera

Just got the camera today. Already took a ton of pictures, and I love it. It's by far the best camera I have had so far. It came on time and is exactly what was advertised. If I have any problems with it, of course, I will update.

Great Camera

so far I'm very happy I purchased this camera. Love the fact you can take a picture of yourself with the front monitor and the pictures even after going into full zoom turn out so clear.

Horrible. Returned it right away and regret purchasing in the first place.

I was so excited for this camera. After doing a lot of research and price comparisons I thought I'd found the perfect camera for me--something that I could take self-portraits with with friends and family, but that could also work for scenic...
