Great little camera by RC
I bought this camera elsewhere for $99.99 and have been VERY happy with its performance with regards to its camera function. It takes good pictures in both low light and during the day. It has a very convenient size and easily fits in your pocket.

The MP3 and video functions are a nice bonus, but to be honest, I have not had a chance to try them out fully yet.

great little camera; not so great PMP by A. Godshall
This great little camera takes pretty good shots, though there is just a little bit more artifacting going on when I take pictures of text than my old LonicaMinolta Dimage X1.

I paid a little extra to get this camera over the other Samsung 8.1MP camera because of the PMP (portable media player) feature after seeing the onboard demo video, and while it does have a great little screen it doesn’t seem to take any kind of standard video (I tried lots of different mpeg4 and mov and avi files and they wouldn’t even show up on the menu)- you have to use the video converter they supply, which runs on proprietary OS only.

As an MP3 player, it’s OK, and it does let you delete a file after you’ve listened to it (which is a key feature if you listen to podcasts).

There also seems to be no way to charge and listen at the same time- the USB/charge cable and the headphone jack go into the same connector. I guess I’m buying an external battery or two and an offline battery charger.
