Samsung WB250F Review

The Samsung WB250F has a long 18x zoom lens and a top-notch Wi-Fi implementation, but image quality isn't the best we've seen in its class. The Samsung WB250F ($249.99 direct)($249.95 at Amazon) is a compact camera with a long 18x zoom lens, built-in Wi-Fi, a 14-megapixel CMOS image sensor, and a responsive touch screen. It doesn't skimp on the physical controls, so you don't have to navigate by touch, and it doesn't sacrifice wide-angle coverage in order to achieve its powerful zoom factor. We found image quality to be a little lacking, especially at higher ISO settings, and still recommend the 20x Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX30V( at Amazon) as our Editors' Choice superzoom. But if you're budget doesn't extend toward the $300 range, and you want a pocket shooter with Wi-Fi connectivity, the WB250F is worth a look. Design and Features The WB250F is small when you consider that its lens covers a 24-432mm (35mm equivalent) field of view. It measures 2.4 by 4.2 by 0.9 inches and weighs about 6.9 ounces.

The flash is not real auto since it needs to manually press a button to pop-up the flash to use. Video recording is blurring and slowly focus when zooming out or in during recording. I 've not seen any of these on my previous cameras.

Tha camera is light, I have the black cobalt, very intuitive to use. It does not come with a cd. In low light situations (parties) your best bet is to use smart auto. The other functions are very good.

Do not buy this camera

I see this "flagship" camera receives many stars by reviewers who have not used it outside of tech shows. I've yet to see anyone review this camera after using it, so I'm happy to do so. The wi-fi functionality is terrible. Save your password and static IP data, connect to your LAN.
