are those the only 3 sites u can upload or send ur photos to besides email?

[samsungimaging]

@KeNgUsThOr Basically, it can upload on Youtube and Facebook and picasa. If it with Bluetooth, you can send your photos directly to someones mobile phone. Check upcoming products, maybe you can enjoy the camera with advanced specs such as sharing site. Thanks!

For official product video, please attach a microphone to the presenter to eliminate the echo in his voice.

[samsungimaging]

Hi, pixmation!! Thank you for the feedback. Does it hard to figure his voice out? We're gonna check the sound on next video. Thanks,pixmation!!

[pixmation]

It not difficult to hear him talking, just the echo is distracting and make it unprofessional.

[samsungimaging]

Yeeah,,a little bit. Thanks for the advice.

i tested acquisition time from a 'cold start', which is basically the -worst- case scenario .. and the average of 3 trials was 1min 4sec. I was under a clear sky and next to two buildings (2/3 of the sky was clear) .. so these were not exactly ideal conditions .. i hope this helps.

as for battery consumption, i have a backup and i always fully charge them, so i can't help with that - but in general GPSrs don't use much juice. My little data-logger goes for several hours on a 2x AAA batteries.

[APrintezis]

i used to have a little data-logger to geo-tag my pics, well, this camera is faster.

i also have a garmin nuvi and a garmin colorado .. 'hot' acquisition time is similar, 'cold' acquisition time is comparable.

if you have used an iPhone to geo-tag pics, or check your location on Google-maps, this camera is AT LEAST as fast.

So, overall i think it is an ok GPS. Some people expect GPSrs to instantly work when they turn them on, but that's just not the way it works! The camera's GPS is fine.

[APrintezis]

yes, but what i have not seen mentioned anywhere is the fact (?) that you can only upload up to 30 second videos at the lowest resolution directly to YouTube !! (which actually sucks - AM I MISSING SOMETHING?)

having said that, picasa, facebook, and email work fine! and the network setup is really easy.

also, the fact that you can use the OPTICAL zoom while filming 720p video is GREAT !!

(you can hear the zoom sound but that's expected)

the GPS works fine too, it's fast and accurate.

[pixmation]

I find it the GPS takes a long time to acquire the location information even I am standing outdoor in open area. Also battery life is pretty short.
