"I purchased this camera because of the nice set of features (HD video, 14.7 MP, Touch screen) in a very portable package. The touch screen is definitely nice and worked great. Having the camera only 1 week now, I did venture out over the weekend to shoot pics and video of a drum clinic at a music store. The pics came out surprising well detailed and bright. The video was kind of disappointing though. I noticed, as the previous reviewer, that upon playing back the video, it seems to be jumpy or skipping. Sort of like old 8 mm movies but nowhere as bad. I used a Sandisk Extreme III SDHC memory card. Also, being near a loud amplifier, I discovered the captured sound was muddy and distorted, e.g. like the audio circuits in the camera went into overload. Especially during low freq bass drum notes or loud volumes. Having discovered the disappointing audio during this live event, I attempted to look for some type of audio level recording controls in the camera to adjust levels, BUT no option exists on this camera. VERY disappointing. However, low volume passages recorded extremely well. One small, but useful feature ABSENT from this camera is an on screen VOLUME control when playing back videos. Also, I couldn't find any menu to help me understand how much memory I was consuming for my videos and pictures. Finally, I'm surprised there's no option to shoot a "YouTube" formatted video from the camera. I know there's other cameras that have this feature. Actually, a very useful and practical feature to have today. All in all, this could be a GREAT little camera, when these issues are corrected and enhancement added in a future firmware update. Please hurry Samsung!"
