It’s a lovely piece of hardware, a 12 mpixel camera with a 28-135 lens and image stabilization, GPS, Wifi all in a small sleek package. However, it has some issues. Here’s my reaction as captured on IRC after trying to use the internet sharing features:

21:13 < @marcus> my camera's firmware was written by idiots.
21:14 < @marcus> samsung--
21:14 < @marcus> it "supports" picasa and youtube and facebook
21:14 < @marcus> but can only upload 320x200 videos of less than 30 seconds
                to youtube
21:14 < @marcus> and only pics to facebook
21:15 < @marcus> awesome!
21:15 < @marcus> it's a 12mpixel camera tho
21:15 < @marcus> with 5x optic zoom
21:15 < @marcus> heh, this thing has face recognition
21:15 < @marcus> and a decent flash
21:15 < @marcus> and 720p video
21:16 < @marcus> if the software wasn't so horrible, it'd be awesome
21:16 < @marcus> 3.5" touch screen
21:17 < @marcus> it's got a gps and wifi
21:17 < @marcus> WTF
21:18 < @marcus> and it can't email video
21:18 < @marcus> this is bullshit
