Great camera
only thing is, that I was unhappy to learn that while in video recording mode, you loose audio when you zoom in and out.

AND IT'S ONE OF THE VERY FEW CAMERAS THAT ALLOW PAUSING DURING RECORDING.

One of the frames of the new lights animation, when each light is pointed exactly left and right - looks like a pair of BUTTOCKS

I'm on the fence. Some of the amazon reviews slam in the image quality. I'm mad I missed out on the Panasonic from a few days ago.

THAT'S NOT TRUE!!!!

You can 3 options:
1) Audio always on
2) Audio always off
3) Audio off while zooming. That's because the mikes are so near the lens. And whne you zoom, it creates a distracting motor sound which some people hate.

This ability to MUTE is preferable to cameras that don't offer to mute.

Hmm, have to say, I think I prefer the realism of the old lights. But you can compare for yourselves:

Old:


New:

That was my experience too. Except since I am out of practice I was at "neeeeuu... zzz" at drink #4. This being an experiment upon strictly scientific lines, I think I failed.

This camera's battery charges via a usb cord > usb port or supplied wall brick (see Samsung HZ30W camera box contents: http://sale.images.woot.com/VC00593C_specs2.jpg). The usb charging cord is pretty short and can be kind of a PITA in some situations (like when there's no option but to charge the battery with the camera hanging from the outlet by it's cord). I would consider getting an extra battery and/or stand-alone battery charger like one of these here.
