Anyway, don't buy this camera, GPS function DOES work and Wi-fi great to send photos. BUT, it has major errors with touch screen, and it is impossible to calibrate (touch screen), so in case that touch screen won't work, there is no other way to access menu functions. The only troubleshoot suggestion from the manufacturer is to...REMOVE the Battery!!! and put it back in. LOL trust me it doesn't make anything.
I have this camera and it works Great .... I dont know what is the problem in yours m8 ... My only thing i can complain is it dosent get good picture durin night
hi ppl, i bought that camera one month ago and never had any ploblem with the GPS activation, besides when i took some pic with the GPS i was surprised with the exactitude of the coordinates... but i had another problem, my camera freezed when i played recorded videos, finally the problem was in the memory (microSD), i replaced it and everything went OK... well that was my experience, thanks.
Hi everyone, i am constantly experiencing a problem with the GPS in this camera.
Every time i am on high elevations (on mountains for example) at 5-6 thousand ft or higher, just when the GPS is about to get a satellite fix and turn green, the camera totally freezes and the only way to reset or turn it off it to take the battery out !!
This is very frustrating - since the main reason i went with this camera was the GPS.
@duckmanlazio if it's stuck like that, it means that it's probably a chinese one, Samsung usually don't have those kind of problems, especially not Samsung and Apple too! my advice for you is to buy it to a very well known store or even right away in Samsung, either online, either in store, it's up to you
I know if you press alot of setting real fast you can lock it up . But thats kinda hard! i have the Samsung CL65 for 1 month and used the hell out it and never had any issues? so wtf????
Just thought I would let you all know that I have bought the exact same camera from Amazon UK for the sole reason that it's got the GPS capability. Needless to say, the camera freezes every time the GPS is turned on! I have even exchanged the camera, thinking it was a fault with the one I received. Surprise, surprise, the replacement had the exact same problem. I agree DO NOT BUY THIS CAMERA - I am returning mine to Amazon for a refund!! What a shame!!
its just mechanical problems...or might its not samsung camera..millions of chinese copycat camera outside there to sell in hillarious super cheap price..chinese made copy iphone,sony,apple laptop e.g...so make sure you buy an ORIGINAL made..he might bought it from ebay....and unfortunately the seller is from Hongkong or shenzen china..the centre of copy cat..
This camera model has a serious design error. The camera has a GPS feature. It does not work. In this film camera jam twice. They have tried to repair this brand new camera for over 2 months, with no success. My camera is still somewhere, I don't know where? According to Samsung's corporate policy they do not send a new replacement, but after some very angry telephone calls they promised to send my money back. I am still waiting for the money...
This guy must have dropped it or drawned in toilet or something. LOL. That's a sorry loss but hey it still works some what.
