things disappointed me badly - especially after using it in a trip just to find unexpected results.

First one was switching to jpeg in non-A/S priority mode for which I made a separate post here. It is seriously a dumb decision on Samsung part to have that kind of flawed logic.

And now I learnt about Panorama resolution

I agree it's disappointment (documented though).

in very hard way, after taking plenty of pics in pano mode - just to realise that Samsung decided to store them in low resolution mode - highly disappointed seeing my trip pics in extremely low resolution, approx 2000x1000. I indeed didn't expect 20MP camera to produce 2MP picture - it's disappointing. If processing was a limitation, Samsung should not have even provided that mode or at least documented/warned about the low resolution.

At this moment, I lost trust on this camera and how will it behave if I change something. Not sure if there are more such nasty surprises Samsung kept for us. Can you post if you experienced any such things or feature which behaves differently in different modes.

Thanks
