First, its huge 15x zoom Schneider-Kreuznach lens is the most powerful on any non-SLR digital camera. Secondly, it also has the biggest monitor on any digital camera, with a massive 3.5in screen. Thirdly, it has the largest battery of any digital camera, with 1900mAh of charge capacity. And most remarkably of all, it’s a Samsung."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/3325-1.jpg" /><br /><br />This is a pretty sweet looking camera. The extra top-mounted LCD is an interesting innovation and the 15x zoom is just amazing (check out some of the photos in the review to see what I mean). The video function does seem limited by only allowing 30 seconds of recording, but in all honesty, I've never made much use of the video recording function on my Canon S2 even though it was a feature I really wanted. Overall, this looks like a worthy entrant into the near SLR market.
