Galaxy Tab 7.0 by R.-Seigel (Nov, 2011)The size and weight are just what I needed, but the screen is large and bright enough for me to read emails, show videos and photos to my colleagues, and read books on the Kindle.

Galaxy Tab 7.0 by DarthSyrma (Feb, 2012)My kids and I video chatted with my father via Skype with the front camera, and it worked great.
Galaxy Tab 7.0 by c|net (Nov, 2011)Images and video recorded with the front camera looked as if there were a deliberate film grain placed over it, and not in a cool, artsy kind of way, but more of the, "Hey, there seems to be some film grain on this video, can we please get rid of it?
processor
Galaxy Tab 7.0 by M.-Gymnopoulos (Nov, 2011)The 1.2 Ghz dual core Exynos processor is great and in general the tab is fast.
Galaxy Tab 7.0 by D2007--Dan (Apr, 2012)Other than that it is a great, dual-core CPU, portable tablet.
Performance Real world tests of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0
cpu speed
Galaxy Tab 7.0 by c|net (Nov, 2011)Both tablets use the Exynos 4210 CPU, which in terms of speed hits somewhere between the Tegra 2 and Tegra 3 chips.
Galaxy Tab 7.0 by Mike-E.**UPDATE: 1/17/2012 - Speed definitely varies and has different factors like ISP, router, wifi chipset, CPU specs, OS etc..

Galaxy Tab 7.0 by NataliePROS: size and weight, picture quality, fast processor, battery life, good-looking design, bluetoothCONS: expensive, if you have a spotty WIFI connection it really limits the use of the tablet, lack of integrated USB/HDMI (you can buy an adapter for this - about $30).
Galaxy Tab 7.0 by Bjudo--BB (Feb, 2012)It appears very well made and the touch screen is responsive with a display that is bright, yet adjustable to save battery life as needed.
