I’ve been a long-time Samsung user and I’m considering getting the FP6, though this topic could also apply to older models. After reading through many forum posts, I’m starting to feel a bit hesitant about getting the FP6. It seems there are quite a few significant issues that users can run into. T…

Thanks, it’s a bit to early for this survey :slight_smile: Not past a year yet.
