overall, the camera rocks; it gets an A-. it fits perfectly in the lowepro rezo 30 i bought, hd filming rules, image quality is good, the menu is very easy to use, and the camera itself looks way tighter in person than in pics. the only bad things i thought about the hz15 was that the lens sticks out and gets caught to the edge of my pocket when i take it out, the provided usb is ridiculously short, can't mess with camera settings when it's charging, and the provided wrist loop doesn't tighten. from Amazon.com Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1QJY6SYTJ9O2C If you are like me you prefer to see a camera in person and to hold it in your own hands before you purchase it. I made this video review hoping that it could serve as a "virtual" hand-on demo. from Amazon.com For those starting out looking for a point-and-shoot camera that's a jack of all trades, here's, at the time of writing, the latest effort by Samsung. One of its biggest selling points is also something buyers should be wary of: More megapixels does NOT necessarily mean better image quality. from Amazon.com I am an amateur photographer and have experience with Canon, Fujifilm, Sony and now this Samsung point and shoot camera. There are several great cameras available in this price range and in my 2 weeks of testing I have not been particularly impressed with this camera. from Amazon.com The Samsung HZ15W Digital Camera is a relatively new entry in the digital camera market and it boasts a very impressive set of features right out of the starting gate. I wondered if the promise this camera shows is too good to be true, so I spent some time getting to know it and learning how to use it. from Amazon.com Having owned a Panasonic TZ5 for over a year, when I received the HZ15W, physically they look like siblings. The HZ15W is loaded with features, that my TZ5 just doesn't have though. from Amazon.com I am no professional but a average user but there's a lot to like in this camera. The camera is easy to handle and pretty intuitive. The focusing is very sharp and clear This has all the bells and whistles most of us will ever want or use for a amateur or semi-pro user. Enough auto functions for us dummies and more than enough options for the more proficient camera buff. from Amazon.com INTRODUCTION I am a casual user who prefers size, convenience and function over versatility of SLR cameras. I have been using digital cameras since the 1.2 MP era in the late 1990s. from Amazon.com My previous multi-purpose camera was a Kodak with a 23mm wide-angle lens. I loved it, so in looking for a new camera, wide-angle was on the top of my must have features. from Amazon.com My first impression of the HZ15W is that it is indeed substantial. The case has a solid, no nonsense feel to it that my Fuji A900 did not have. from Amazon.com
