Great Body, But Not So Smart

Samsung EX2F review
The EX2F is a good example of getting what you pay for. It's the cheapest of the high-end advanced compacts, and while it does offers some excellent features, good overall performance and outstanding low-light results, it simply can't match the image quality of its more expensive rivals.
Pros:
- Solid build quality
- Operational performance
- Feature-rich
- Low light AF
Cons:
- Lens quality
- High-ISO noise

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
