Samsung ST66/ST200, anyone have any experience?

So today I was over at the mall, and spotted these two little beauties---prices low as dirt, absolutely gorgeous design (can I marry your industrial designer, Samsung?), and fairly decent specs with 16 Mpx of resolution and 720p video each plus a 5x and a 10x zoom respectively, the former even a 25mm wide---but though I was quite tempted to snatch either of 'em, I remembered my not-too-pleasant experiences with JPEGs on my EX1 and my excitement died down. Yet, I keep coming back to the idea that maybe, just maybe, given the right settings and in good light and with the right subject and with capable hands behind it... maybe.

So, anyone have any experience with either camera? perhaps a family member or a friend's that could share their opinion? they're sexy little beasts, but even in my excitement I know that's hardly a reason to purchase a whole new camera, cheap as it may be.
