I dont think it's worth even the $75 to buy this thing...

I don't know, those scores look pretty decent to me. :)

I got a seasonal sales job at a major electronics store and I though it would be fair to warn readers that the lower end samsung cameras get returned a lot. This may be because people were buying them as gifts and the recipients already had them or a whole host of other reasons but the lower end sony and samsung products were returned more than any other digitals cameras we sold. With a digital camera not being a necesity for survival, my advice would be to save up an extra 50 to 100 bucks and buy a higher quality product.

Alternately, you could eBay the printer and come close to covering the cost of the camera. :)

This is all great, but why would you buy it from Circuit City and worry about taxes etc. when you can get it from Amazon for $97?

Amazon doesn't offer the free photo printer.

... did not expect this, but looking at cnet's own site , this is available for 89.99 from BEST BUY with free shipping. you still have to pay tax.. and from the looks of it it would make a great gift camera or second camera for people really into pictures

no free printer at best buy though :)
