Fist: lane assist is not available everywhere, as a matter of fact it did not work anywhere where I’ve tried.
Navigation itself is weird. One example: it tells you to turn left on highway when it actually means to stay on highway and not to take an exit.
Extras like unit converter will tell you how many millimeters there is in one centimeter, but converting between inches and millimeters is just too much to ask.
I’m not spending any more time discovering this “high tech” disappointment and I’m returning it.

I was going to order this camera, but the price kept dropping, down to $219.95. I was ready to order, but by the time I got home, it went up in price! It kept going up and now is at $269.95, in a little more than an week. No way. This needs some explaining. Down $50 and back up $50 within two weeks. What’s up?

I have a 10 megapixel SLR (major brand) but wanted a small camera to carry in my pocket, that was inexpensive, and would produce satisfying images. I took a chance on this one and am astounded at the quality of the images it produces. It’s not quite as capable as a full scale DSLR and has the annnoying shutter lag of this type of camera, but it’s quick in good light. It’s harder to hold steady than a DSLR but that’s just because of the smallness of it. The battery seems to hold up well and is easy to recharge. I like it!
With 10.2 MP and a powerful optical zoom, it’s easy to capture every detail. And you won’t have to worry about flawed photos. It comes with a slew of tools to beautify those not-so-perfect shots. The SAMSUNG Perfect Portrait System includes beauty shot that automatically retouches facial imperfections and the Smart Auto feature. It automatically selects the scene mode ideal for the environment you’re shooting in. Capture all of your special moments with a camera that helps you create stunning photos. Samsung’s perfect portrait system includes beauty shot, face detection, self-portrait, smile shot, blink detection, and red-eye fix – everything you need to create beautiful photos effortlessly. For example, beauty shot automatically retouches imperfections on your subject’s face. And taking self-shots are easy with the self-portrait feature. The camera lets you know if the face is detected in the center of the image so you get the whole picture. With a 5x optical zoom, you’ll get up close and personal with every subject. Plus, a slim, stylish design makes the mounted inner zoom lens easier to use and carry. A special coating on both sides of the lenses prevents false color and distortion while delivering outstanding picture quality. Take the best photos possible, with the Smart Auto feature. It automatically selects one of 11 scene modes that best suit the environment you’re shooting in. For example, it automatically sets the camera to landscape scene mode if you’re taking an image of a mountain range, and then switches gears and automatically selects the portrait scene mode if you proceed to take an image of an individual. Shooting Programs Landscape, portrait mode, night mode, text, close-up, back light, beach/snow, self-portrait, children, fireworks, dawn/dusk, sunset, beauty shot Special Effects Soft, Cool, Negative, Black & White, Sepia, Neutral, Vivid, Calm, Forest Maximum Shutter Speed 1/2000 sec / M. read more.

First I would like to say that this does require two USB ports utilizing the cable the comes with the unit.
