Samsung WB150F Review
The fact that travel compact cameras are now a common sight does not come across as a surprise. Practically, all camera manufacturers have released their own model and are in the process of pushing the envelope further, as far as optical zoom lenses are concerned.

The Samsung WB150F ($229.99 list) packs a long 18x zoom lens into a compact body, but its sexiest feature is built-in support for Wi-Fi. Connect to a hotspot and you'll be able to upload photos directly to your Facebook account, email them to a friend, or view them on your TV.
Pros:
- Built-in Wi-Fi
- Sharp lens
- 18x zoom
- Compact design
- Inexpensive
Cons:
- Slow performance
- Noisy images at higher ISOs
- Video capture is limited to 720p

Samsung WB150F
The compact digital camera market offers buyers a brain-scrambling amount of choice, so when a point-and-shoot comes along and offers something unique, we sit up and take notice. That's the case with the Samsung WB150F, which sports Wi-Fi for easy photo sharing - and quite a bit more.
Pros:
- Big 18x optical zoom
- decent image and movie quality
- manual controls for enthusiasts
Cons:
- Some problems with Wi-Fi apps
- Wi-Fi backup only works with Windows

Samsung WB150F Review: Share and Share Alike
In my own view, it's becoming increasingly unacceptable for point-and-shoot cameras not to offer wireless connectivity. Better even is the option to transfer photos from your camera to a phone or tablet.
Pros:
- Big 18x optical zoom lens
- Manual exposure modes
- In-camera art modes
- Excellent Wi-Fi features
Cons:
- Noise at ISO 400 and up
- Only 720p video
- More clipped highlights than usual

Samsung WB150F review: Samsung WB150F
If you're happy with the photos from your smartphone, but wish you had an actual camera with a long zoom lens and wireless sharing and backup, check out the Samsung WB150F. While camera manufacturers like Sony, Panasonic and Canon are dabbling in Wi-Fi cameras, Samsung's really invested in the concept for 2012, offering several cameras with a big helping of wireless functionality. Included in those models is the WB150F compact superzoom.
Pros:
- Built-in Wi-Fi that's easily set up for wireless sharing and backup. Abundant set of shooting and editing options.
Cons:
- Samsung's smartphone apps are only guaranteed to work with Samsung Galaxy devices. Auto-backup software is Windows-only. Photo quality is barely better than a smartphone. Shooting performance is somewhat slow.

Samsung WB150F
Like Samsung's ultra-compact SH100 Wi-Fi camera from last year, the WB150F is good value. Instead of using Wi-Fi to upsell consumers, Samsung just includes it, which is how it should be done. Unfortunately, the camera's photo quality isn't much better than you see from a smartphone camera.
Pros:
- Built-in Wi-Fi that's easily set up for wireless sharing and backup
- Abundant set of shooting and editing options
Cons:
- Samsung's smartphone apps are only guaranteed to work with Samsung Galaxy devices
- Auto-backup software is Windows-only
- Photo quality is barely better than a smartphone
- Shooting performance is somewhat slow

A capable superzoom compact with interesting Wi-Fi talent squeezed in – but the Samsung WB150F isn't the game-changer it might've been
