Samsung EX2F review
Premium compacts – meaning feature-festooned pocket models with plenty of manual controls, a high quality build and equally high price tag – are on the rise in popularity in austere times.
Pros:
- Solid-feel metal build
- tilting and swivelling high contrast AMOLED back screen
- plenty of manual control
- fast aperture lens allows for low light shooting and creative shallow depth of field effects
Cons:
- Bright lens can overexpose brighter daylight scenes
- costs as much as starter DSLR or CSC which could offer better overall results
- and of a similar size to the smaller CSCs like the Nikon J2

Cons:

- Limited (3.3x) zoom range

I have recently tried each of the following: MX-1, D-LUX 6, P7700 and EX2F. EX2F has exceptional image quality when processing RAW files. The P7700 was equal in image quality but the EX2F is more suited to my shooting style. It's image stabilization is extremely impressive.

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
