Google Nexus 7 or Samsung Galaxy Tab 2?

I've narrowed my search to the Nexus and Samsung. It's for me (I've been lusting after one for ages!) and I'm a very standard user - web browsing, email, the odd programme on BBC iplayer etc.

Which do you think I should get? Does anyone own one or other and would you recommend it?

TIA

we have both. if you are going to watch a lot I'd say the Galaxy because the bigger screen is nice, otherwise I would go for the Nexus because I find it a lot easier to hold for any length of time.
I haven't looked at the new Nexus yet but the camera on the old one is terrible (and really tricky to launch), the Galaxy one is ok but nowhere near as good as the one on the S4 phone.

We also have both. Dd1 has a samsung galaxy and dd2 has nexus 7. Personally I prefer the nexus 7, mainly because my phone is a nexus 4 so they are pretty much the same to use!

I also find the samsung slow to respond at times. Tap the screen and not much happens. I have to press quite hard at times.

Thanks - it's useful to get your feedback. The new Nexus sounds pretty awesome but is quite a bit more expensive than the 2012 version and the Samsung. But it is the one I'm leaning towards and I guess it makes good sense to get the most up to date one you can (budget willing of course!).
