Samsung EX2F review: Samsung EX2F
Even if you take your photography seriously, it's not always convenient to carry around a chunky dSLR, no matter how much you love having access to full manual controls and shooting in raw file formats.

Samsung EX2F
The EX2F is Samsung's best compact camera yet. While it's not quite smashing the ball out of the park on image quality, it does do very well on the spec sheet, including useful features like a dual mode dial and a flip-out AMOLED screen.
Pros:
- Excellent build quality
- Dual mode dials at the top of the camera make for an easy shooting experience
- Bright AMOLED screen
- Bright f/1.4 maximum aperture
- Great Wi-Fi connectivity options
Cons:
- A fair amount of distortion at the wide end
- On defaults
- screen shows images as more vibrant than they actually are
- Noise at telephoto extreme

Samsung EX2F Review
As It should already be clear what they read so far, the Samsung EX2F is the compact ideal for those who simply want to go home with photographs of the holiday or event. It is not as simple and straightforward to use because, what could be its main advantage, the lens f / 1.4.
Pros:
- Excellent quality of pictures and videos
- So many creative features and advanced
- Adjustable screen
- Optical light
Cons:
- The lens is also sometimes too bright
- It is easy to use to be a compact.

Samsung EX2F review
Like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7, the Samsung EX2F is a solid camera without being spectacular. It builds well on its predecessor and is an attractive proposition in many ways, such as its good build quality, fast and sharp lens, and variety of shooting modes.

The Samsung EX2F 24-80mm (equivalent) lens also has an even bigger maximum aperture than the Samsung EX1's optic, pushing up to f/1.4 from f/1.8. This means it has the largest aperture of any compact camera currently available.

Samsung EX2F review
Samsung's current fascination with Wi-Fi will please some and leave others shrugging their shoulders. As it stands the EX2F's Wi-Fi feature is okay, it's certainly something that similar competitors don't offer, but it does stick a knife in the battery life.
Pros:
- f/1.4-2.7 maximum aperture
- vari-angle LCD screen
- raw file capture
- good quality images
Cons:
- Inconsistent autofocus particularly with close-up focus
- Wi-Fi kills battery life
- high ISO image quality
- limited zoom range
- body finish chips easily
