Stout little camera

Has been a great little camera so far. I purchased it in January and have already shot around 6000 pics with it. I am an avid adventurer and aspiring photographer. I have been using the camera mainly for landscape photos and creation of large stitch panoramas check out some examples @ www.perspectiveparadigm.com . The lens is phenomenal. Reproduction of colors is great right out of the box. I had to contact Samsung support to acquire the RAW conversion software for Mac which works great. This camera is an awesome always with you camera. A little short on the telephoto end but my main focus is Landscape. The articulated screen is great for artistic composition. One of the main reasons I bought this camera is to do photography of the scrambling, hiking, climbing and mountain biking around Sedona, AZ and it becomes cumbersome trying to pack the DSLR in for most of the trips and so far the image quality in my scenes has been of the same quality. High ISO is good for a little camera but compared to most DSLR's it doesn't compare. The advantage though is the ultra fast lens you can get away with lower ISO settings in dark settings.
