Anyone with V700?

[ricekiller2003]

I heard about this camera and want to compare it to a Sony DSC P200. Does the Samsung V700 take REALLY great pictures?

I've wanted to hear more about this too, but I'm not sure that it is even out yet.

Matts and RiceKiller-

It just got a pretty darned good review over at dp review. Their only complaint was the shutter lag. However, the sample photos look great.

Superb sample photos, yes; but darned good V700 review absolutely, no. It was a disturbingly *biased* piece of writing one doesn't come across that often. Better ones are from: (Type each of the following, excluding the parentheses, in the URL address box > hold down Ctrl key and press Enter)

Samsung V700 should really be in the company of high end sub-SLRs such as Olympus C-8080WZ -- apart from other admirable qualities, the resolution goes as high as 1950 LPH (the photos bear that out); and the colour are amazingly true and natural (the London red -- a difficult colour -- phone box, for example).

If anyone has this camera and is willing to share his experience, could we have a sample movie clip please? Maybe a short one enough to demonstrate its MPEG-4 quality.
