    A good camara (Tuyen Vu)
    rating

    Pro: Good looking. Easy to use. Good quality pictures. Great and uselfull functions (wide angle, face detects, full manual mode...). Super with video 'pause/record' mode that not found on the others, included HZ30W and HZ35W models. Why? This is very important to me.
    Con: Noisy when using zoom/tele in video mode. Bad position of shooting button caused the flash get covered by fingers (improved in model HZ30W and HZ35W).

    I love this Camera !
    rating

    I have been researching cameras for about 6 months now. I purchased a canon touch screen camera and the picture quality in low light was horrible. I sent it back and got a sony cybershot and that one was even worse. After much agony and searching I bought the Samsung HZ15W camera. Oh my gosh is all I can say. I love the picture quality of this camera. It does very, very well in low light situations. The only mode I have used is AUTO and have had wonderful results. I love how the power button lights up blue and how sturdy and good this camera feels in your hands. Nothing cheap feeling with this gem. I have taken many pictures and the battery is still strong. I bought 2 extra batteries and a battery charger for it. You dont have to charge it in the camera as some people think...This is the perfect camera for anyone who wants good quality photos. I like how you can use a slide show with music. It has many features that I havent checked out, but the main reason I purchased this was because I wanted good quality pics in all situations. Let me tell you, this camera is well worth the money.
    There are some cons too.
    I don't like the fact that a user friendly manuel does not come with the camera. You have to download one and order it if you want a hard copy. I feel that the directions aren't very explicit...
    The software is good, but I liked the canon one better.
    No viewfinder.
    The cord to download your pictures to the computer is very short...
    I still give this camera 5+ stars. You won't go wrong with this one. I can't say enough good about this camera.

    My First Samsung Digital Camera
    rating

    After some research I came across the Samsung HZ15W. What attracted me at first was the size and number of features it had. Then I realized that it could record in HD, this was a definite plus. So far I found the picture quality to be what I expected and has in some ways exceeded my expectations. The 10X zoom capability has definitely been very handy. I'm very happy with this purchase.
