SOME OF THE SAMPLE CUSTOMER REVIEW FROM AMAZON :
1) fun camera, wonderful pics, an EXCELLENT point and shoot... love it. just bought a second! - i LOVE this camera. it is small, versatile, very easy to use, innovative (the front lcd screen which shows you the live shot, just like the back screen, is a brilliant idea for self portraits and group shots.... just brilliant), and takes simply EXCELLENT amazingly crisp and sharp pictures. my other point and shoot was a sony with a carl zeiss lens -- now you know those are good lenses, but this samsung beats it hands down.
best best feature of this is the front lcd screen which lets you see the picture, just as if you were looking at the back lcd. so so innovative, so smart, and once you use it you wonder why all cameras don't have this amazing useful bit.
picture quality is superb. even on email mode, this picks up details that my sony had never seen and i couldn't believe it. seriously... a sony with a zeiss lens you would think is perfect!... but this is better. very very very happy with this purchase and i simply love this camera. i bought it in time to go to a wedding, and all the guests were awed with the front lcd also saying, oh my gosh i have to get one of those..... !!! and actually for one relative i hadn't seen in a while at the wedding, she was so in love with the cam to take family shots, i bought her one on the spot as a surprise, from amazon too!
my few pet peeves..... 1) this is a great camera, can you at least somehow make it look a little sexier?!!! it looks like any other camera on the market, but i think is much much better. basic black is SO SO boring. i didn't realize it comes in silver! but some other inventive colors would be nice too... also it seems to be VERY hard to get it in a color here in the u.s., tho i did find some on ebay after i had bought it on amazon.... dayam!!!). 2) battery life seems to be VERY short - about an hour with some active shooting. an hour shooting at a wedding or family event is NOT a lot of time! i have since bought backup batteries, and carry them. 3) this has a wonderful lcd on the front, which it says you can turn on by tapping. but no -- you must paw and pound at the front lcd for it to turn on. you have to paw at the front lcd to hard to turn it on (if you don't use the actual "front lcd button" to turn it on) that i actually thought the camera was broken. 4) though it has a touch-screen lcd on back, it never responds particularly accurate to my finger swipes even though i did calibration, it works much better with the stylus. when you "whoosh" the screen to go to the next screen, it ie goes too fast and goes all the way to the last screen. even if i whoosh it slowly just trying to move a screen ahead. then i have to whoosh oh so slowly and carefully back. 5) some of the menus, since they have several screens of options, need to have an indicator that shows there are more screens with options, like the sidebar on a window when you're on a computer that lets you know you can keep scrolling down.
but still, right now i wouldn't trade this camera for any other point and shoot on the market. it is great and i love it..... seriously, you will too. ;-)

October 2011 UPDATE....
ok, now that i've had this camera a few months i can still say, I LOVE IT! BUY IT! ONE OF THE BEST POINT AND SHOOT CAMERAS OUT THERE.......!
plus seriously, EVERYONE who sees the front LCD loves it and says omg i must get that!
camera still works fine. i am a little less careful with it than when i first bought it and it was nice and pristine and shiny. it gets knocked around a bit in my messenger bag, and it does turn on by accident b/c the "on" button gets hit. but it is taking a licking and keeps on ticking.......
my only TWO complaints now that i've had it a few months......
1) it takes a LONG TIME to get ready for the next shot. like i think 4 seconds almost?! when you are trying to shoot at an event, you probably will loose the shot! of course, the reset is b/c it has to write the info to disk, battery must recharge flash... but seriously. this is about the slowest point and shoot i've ever used.
2) the "kid shot" function shows a little cartoon to get an inattentive baby's attention. BRILLIANT IDEA BUT...... it actually makes the kid look the wrong way in your photo, unless he or she is cross eyed! OH WELL! at least they are smiling........
still, this is a BRILLIANT camera and i love it. it is still right now the only point and shoot i'd buy. oh actually another improvement they could make is to wifi it. samsung does make wifi cameras, so you can transfer pics without cables and cards. but this one isn't one of them. next generation maybe?..... hopefully?.......
but seriously. you'll be very very happy with this. i love this camera. pretty sure you will too. unless you're you know uptight and grouchy.... or something like that......

2) Just a great camera and I take it with me wherever I go - I was planning to purchase a new camera back in December 2010 but did a lot of research and at one point I almost purchased the Samsung ST600 but was going to wait until we received our tax refund. I continued my research just in case something new came out and sure enough the ST700 was introduced. I waited until it was available and did some shopping around and found it for $221.00 which I thought was a great price. I have been using it but it has so many features that it is going to take a while to get through them all. The size is just great for all the stuff it has on it and friends are amazed at the quality f the photos and so am I. I also like the interface with my computer using the cable or pulling the card out to insert into the computer. I live in a wooded area and so we have all sorts of animals since we all left our back yards natural and the deer and other animals are there to take live videos and post them on Facebook. I hope t a lot of enjoyment from the camera. I think it was a great buy.
