Product Description
From the Manufacturer
The Samsung PL120 DualView 14.2-Megapixel Digital Camera features LCD viewfinders on both the front and rear of the camera, making it easy for you to take great self-portraits as well as set up your other shots clearly. Thanks to HD Movie, you can also use the PL120 to shoot high-definition video. Digital image stabilization creates clear, blur-free photos, while Smart Auto 2.0 optimizes settings for pictures and video in any lighting.
Digital Image Stabilization for Sharp Images and Video
Make sure the only motion in your videos is intentional. Digital image stabilization automatically compensates for unwanted camcorder movement by realigning each electronic image, frame by frame, with steady results.

The Samsung PL120 allows you to record movies in the palm of your hand. With HD Movie, you can capture video in 1,280-by-720-pixel resolution at 30 frames per second.
Front and Back LCD Viewfinders
With the PL120, it's easier than ever to put yourself in the shot. In addition to the 2.7-inch viewfinder on the rear of the camera, there is an additional 1.5-inch LCD screen on front. This allows you to quickly line up self-portraits or join a friend or loved one for a perfectly-framed two-person photo.
Smart Auto 2.0 Creates the Perfect Shot
Using Smart Auto 2.0, the Samsung PL120 captures the perfect shot by analyzing key composition elements and selecting from 17 different photo and 4 different movie modes.
Using its face/smile/blink-detection feature, the Samsung PL120 detects and adjusts the lighting on up to nine different faces at a time. The camera will automatically shoot the subjects when they laugh or smile, and prohibit the shot from happening if anyone's eyes are closed.
Advanced Effects for Your Photos with Smart Filter
The Samsung PL120 offers Smart Filter, a collection of lens effects that give your still shots an artistic edge. They include a miniature filter, which miniaturizes everything in your picture; a vignetting filter, which delivers a striking compositional contrast; and a fish-eye filter, which zooms in to give your subject a cool, distorted look.
The camera's Beauty Shot feature automatically removes dark circles, facial blemishes, and imperfections to create great portraits. It's like having a makeup artist in your camera. A 1.5-inch front LCD screen makes it even easier to take great self-portraits.

Amazon Verified Purchase
I almost did not purchase this camera because of some negative reviews. However, I have and I'd like to address the negative comments.
BLURRY PICTURES - when taken in low light conditions:
YES - this does occur. It did when I used the camera for the first time.
REASON - the user may not see the funky 'hand' that is displayed which indicates a questionable photo.
The simple solution is to set the MODE to 'SMART AUTO' ! THIS SHOULD BE THE DEFAULT MODE for the camera.
The first photos I took in low light were blurry. I thought the camera was defective. After I went into the user manual (which was NOT a hard copy but a disk) I figured out what was going on. Samsung should put in instructions on how to use the 'common' functions of a camera.
DIFFICULT TO USE:
MAYBE YES - For the 'average user' who has little experience in photography. But only -IF- they do not set the camera in 'SMART AUTO', or try and figure out what all the MENU items are.
If you just want to POINT AND SHOOT set the MODE to SMART AUTO.
For the EXPERIENCED user this camera allows you to create photos any way you want. It's quite amazing how many settings you can manipulate.
SLOW RESPONSE between shots:
PERHAPS - This has a -slower- response than some of my other cameras. But this also depends on the lighting and resolution settings. However, I bought this for carry around, not rapid picture taking.
BATTERY not standard:
NO it is not - Problem is, if you want a -very small- camera you must have a -very small- battery. Resulting in an no standard (AA or AAA) battery. Get a larger camera if you want such a battery.

Apparently I went to MIT to study rocket science since I found this camera to be perfectly user friendly and straightforward. Quick, quiet, fun, "cute" even, this thing is a real joy to own thus far. At the price I paid (~$120 for camera and 8gb sdhc card and reader, bag, cleaning kit, tripod, and sweet cardboard box my cats love) this camera can't be beat for similar items elsewhere. The front facing lcd I didn't think much of at first has been rather useful taking (accurate) self pics and not merely the gimmick I thought it was going to be. Highly recommended...

I really like this camera, the only thing to watch out for is that it does not use an SD card like it implies. It actually uses a MicroSD wich is not so bad but was not prepared for it.

Excellent for the Price !!!
Nice front LCD which I initially though they sent me the wrong item as you almost cannot see the LCD when the camera is off.
It blends so nicely with black body. Read more
