Share Photos and Videos Wirelessly

The AllShare wireless connection allows you to upload stills or videos to your TV. You can also upload videos to YouTube easily and quickly.

Easy Operation with Smart Touch Interface
The Samsung SH100's Smart Touch interface makes operation as easy as using the touchscreen on your smartphone. The 3-inch LCD features familiar drag-and-scroll functionality, along with a "Home" selection so that you can easily return to the home screen, no matter what you're doing. The crisp LCD display makes it easy to see what you're shooting in virtually any light.

Smart Auto 2.0 Creates the Perfect Shot
Using Smart Auto 2.0, the Samsung SH100 captures the perfect shot by analyzing key composition elements and selecting from 17 different photo and 4 different movie modes.

Thanks to its face/smile/blink-detection feature, the Samsung SH100 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.

Digital Image Stabilization for Sharp Focus
When you're shooting in low light or zooming in on a shot, or when your camera is unsteady, digital image stabilization helps eliminate blurry results. This feature stabilizes your photos by changing their path to the image sensor before they are recorded digitally. As a result, your photos come out sharp and ideally focused.

Use Advanced Effects with Magic Frame
Create sophisticated images and poster-quality visuals with the Samsung SH100's Magic Frame feature. Magic Frame uses a predefined template to merge two photos into one. Select a background and the area where you want another photo. Place the captured image into the background and combine. The image you attach takes on the texture of the background.

Preview and Control Images with Remote Viewfinder
The Samsung SH100 includes a remote viewfinder feature in conjunction with your Samsung Galaxy Phone, so you can preview images and control the zoom using your smartphone. Many Android smartphones now feature a GPS feature, hence all of your images will embed geo-tagging to record your location.

Equipped with a wireless auto-backup feature, the Samsung SH100 automatically downloads your latest image and video files when it's within range of your PC. The camera even turns itself off after to save energy.

Product, Compatibility, and Warranty Information
The Samsung SH100 is equipped with a 26mm Samsung lens, a 5x optical zoom, and a 3-inch LCD touchscreen. It offers 6.9 MB internal memory, and accepts external microSD cards up to 8 GB. It uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. The camera measures 2.12 by 3.66 by 0.74 inches (H x W x D).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera, April 9, 2011

I just got this camera today it is easy to use and navagate. The touchscreen works well with fingers as wellas the included stylus (i put it on the hand strap for easy access) The stylus works good when logging into facebook, youtube, photobucket and the many other available places to share your photos. I uploaded a picture to facebook with relative ease.I liked the auto backup too, you can backup your pictures to a Pc without connecting the camera to the Pc (awesome!!)The picture quality is great too!The video mode supports HD 720p i havent tried it yet but its HD! I suggest this camera to anyone looking for an easy to use point and click camera with some kick ass extras like the ability to touch up / edit photos before u send them on their way to FB or wherever you send them!

3.0 out of 5 stars Samsung Still has Work to Do, May 12, 2011

This review is from: Samsung EC-SH100 Wi-Fi Digital Camera with 14 MP, 5x Optical Zoom and Touchscreen (Black) (Electronics)

I bought this camera and used it extensively on a two week trip to Europe. Overall I am happy with it, it took great pictures and was pretty easy to use.

I LOVE the fact that you can charge the battery without taking it out of the camera (Like the way you charge a cell phone). No need for a separate charger, so one less piece of gear to lug around. The benefit of this also means you can charge it on an as-needed basis (I charged it through the power outlet in the rental car I was driving). This was the key feature that drove my purchase decision, and its strange that it doesn't get mentioned much in the marketing literature since it's a major advantage over the competition.

The touch screen interface is a disappointment though. If you are used to a smart phone type touch screen then this screen will seem slow and clunky. It feels more like a PDA from 2004 than a smart phone from 2011. Also, putting all the controls on the touch screen makes for some usability issues. I would prefer to see physical buttons for commonly used operations like turning the flash on and off. A camera is a dedicated device so should be optimized for common photography use cases.

The wireless connectivity was pretty cool, but again suffered usability issues. Connecting to wireless networks was a pain with the clunky touch screen. This is a long way from an iPhone or Android OS. Also, there doesn't seem to be any control over the name of the album or the subject of the facebook post. The wireless connectivity is is a very cool idea, but it still has some way to go before being truly compelling.

At the end of the day I think my money was well spent. Samsung is on to a good thing and I hope they continue evolving this product line.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great potential held back by quirky software, March 25, 2011

I just received my SH100 today, so I won't try to do a full in-depth review. However, in the hours that I've played with it I can already tell that there are quite a few 'quirks' that seriously hinder an otherwise great camera.

First, the camera comes with a touchscreen interface for most of the functions. Sadly, it also comes with a stylus which, in my experience, isn't optional to use in many situations (such as typing) - at least with my large fingers. Even worse - there isn't a place to store the stylus within the camera itself. Instead, it clips and hangs awkwardly from the lanyard. While a generally small nuisance (and perhaps a non-issue for those with smaller fingers), it would have been much nicer if the screen was sensitive enough to work via touch or there were discreet navigation buttons.

The biggest issue for me, however, has to be the software running on the camera. The UI isn't very pretty and is awkwardly organized. It feels very hastily thrown together. Again, this is a minor disappointment, but something that should have been easy to fix. Unfortunately, that isn't all. The software is also quite buggy! I had found several issues within the first few minutes (where was the QC?!) which took hours to resolve. For one thing, logging in to Picasa was a real pain as there were issues with the software recognizing both my email address AND password. The login for Picasa should be the same as my Google login. However, my account is associated with several email addresses and only one of them was accepted for some reason (and it wasn't my normal gmail.com account, it was a tertiary address I rarely use). Even worse - there's a serious bug in the password handling that prevents it from recognizing a password with any special characters! As best I can tell, only numbers and letters will work as they should. If you enter a password with a special character the password will not be accepted. This was a real problem for me as I did not want to change my password (I use many different Google services across many devices, and changing the login credentials on all of them would be a real headache!) Fortunately, I discovered an undocumented workaround/hack. If you change special characters to URL encoding (so pa$$word becomes pa%24%24word) it will work (even though it really shouldn't!) Unfortunately, this seems to prevent the password from being stored properly (only characters up to the first % are stored!). So far I have only tried logging in to the Picasa service, but I suspect these issues are present in all password fields and may well extend to user names, etc.

To be fair, the camera has some really great features and it takes very nice pictures for the price. In fact, it really could be an AMAZING camera if they ever get the software straightened out. Unfortunately, until new firmware is released, this camera has fallen fairly short of its potential.
