Reviewer: Raymond J. Welsh,

I received my camera on 6 April, and it has worked great. I received GPS signal in Georgia (USA), Germany, Switzerland, and Austria. The GPS synced in a reasonable amount of time. I believe most of the GPS complaints are from people who are not familiar with GPS products. It is important to remember that you need a clear view of the sky, and it will not work indoors or downtown areas with very tall buildings. It took 2-5 minutes to sync when I moved between countries, which is actually fairly good. I found that if I left my camera and GPS on while I walked from place to place it tracked the satellites well, but it does drain the battery. Overall, I am a satisfied customer, and I would recommend the camera.

Feature packed at a reasonable price

The Samsung HZ35W is one of the three new 2010 compact cameras sporting both a superzoom lens and GPS geotagging capabilities. Pros: - 15X otical zoom lens providing an incredible 24-360 mm range - Stunning AMOLED 3" display. The best I've seen on any camera - Can recharge batter by connecting to PC - HD Video with ability to zoom while recording - Manual controls (A,S,M) - Automatic switch to camera mode when depress shutter - Battery is very good when not using GPS - GPS Mapview of geotagged images - Image quality is good - Macro shooting is excellent - Software included in camera ROM and easy to install on PC - Image stabilization works great, even when zoomed at 15X - Menu system easy to use Cons: - GPS takes a long time to acquire - Documentation is on CD only and is incomplete - Loading maps onto camera is not easy and is not well documented - Uses proprietary USB cable to connect camera to PC and to wall charger I purchased my Samsung HZ35W through Amazon for $299, which is a great price for this feature packed compact camera.
