Summary: Mine turned out to be defective
Review: Got this over a Fuji as it was a little cheaper. Nice camera took great pictures. The Auto focus (i think) was malfunctioning. It take pictures most of the time. But in some situations, it does not take the picture how much ever you press the shutter. There was no particular scene it refused to shoot. Once in a while, it refuses to fire. Returned it.
Also, very easy to scratch. mine had 3 scratches in less than a month and I am careful with the camera.
The zooom buttons should be designed away from the shutter.

Summary: Great Camera!
Review: I absolutely love this camera. I paid $170 3 years ago and it was a great investment. I have never had any problems with it. The zoom is the best feature about this camera. I've been able to take some awesome pictures of the moon with 1600 speed film. Great camera!

Summary: Decent camera at a decent price
Review: I got this camera just recently and must say that it is exactly what it appears to be - a good camera for a price that won't have you cringing when you get the bill - I tried out a few "zoom" cameras before this, and I was much more impressed with the zoom in this camera (it was very smooth whereas the others tended to be slightly jerky). The camera itself is also very user friendly.

Summary: My Samsung Maxima 105 GLM is a fine zoom at a great price.
Review: I read prior reviews of the Samsung 105 where complaints of missed shots were made. My Samsung 105 GLM was bought & tested by me before this review. I'd had two automatic tiny point & shoots including a non-zoom Konica (a heckuva fine camera, too) that was used by my wife for about a dozen years. I'd learned to depress the shutter button halfway for a split second to allow preset commands and auto focus to work properly and never had a missed shot even on a jet boat in Hell's Canyon white water! This is in the Samsung manual!

My experience with the S-105 GLM proved it to be a solid- if tiny & pocket sized, full-featured quality device for comparatively little money. No, I am not in any camera business nor am I affiliated with Samsung or Amazon, but I have been a camera semi-pro for much of my 80 years! My work had been used, too, in many court cases when I was sworn.

Summary: Absolutley beautiful shots
Review: I took this on a trip down the Rhine with a friend. She had her Cannon EOS Rebel 2000 and I gotta tell you, all my shots came out much better than hers and I paid $200.00 less! The colors were more vivid, the shots were sharp and in perfect focus, even the zoom shots.
My mother used this camera at my wedding and her shots came out better than the photographers! And she usually takes horrible pictures! (She can consistently get her thumb in every shot!)
What a great camera.
However.....
The lens cover tends to stick open and I am afraid the lens will get scratched. Also, it doesn't have the night portrait mode and I really thing that is a great mode to have for travel.

Review: I've always bought Samsung products in the past and was not disappointed when I bought this camera. It's everything a camera should be. The camera zooms up close to get a clear picture. It's great for indoor or outdoor use. I even can use it to take pictures for the moon with the bulb. It's got an awesome zoom on it, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a great camera at a reasonable rate!!!!!

Summary: Auto Focus Defective!!
Review: The Auto focus was malfunctioning. It take pictures most of the time. But in some situations, it does not take the picture how much ever you press the shutter. (I returned mine)

The zoom buttons should be designed away from the shutter.
