10 Attractions of the Samsung WB150F Digital Compact Camera

Samsungwb150f image Among all the blockbuster new camera introductions during early 2012, some of the lesser manufacturers’ products deserve equal billing. The Samsung WB150F Digital Camera is one of these products. This new compact camera includes three of the more popular features and functions that make it quite competitive with its better-known rivals.

Read real customer reviews of the Samsung WB150F Digital Camera here.

  1. What is physically evident right from the box is this camera’s Schneider-KREUZNACH 18x super-zoom lens. It provides a focal length range of 24–432mm equivalent in 35mm format. With this versatility, you can shoot creative wide-angle images, pleasing portraits of family members and friends and fill the frame with long-distance subjects and objects.

  1. Another popular digital camera feature that more and more consumers are expecting is Wi-Fi connectivity. Samsung has responded admirably to this expectations, making the WB150F Wi-Fi enabled. Upload your photos to social networking sites and your gallery at PhotographyTalk.com as soon as you shoot them. Photos and video clips can be sent to a compatible SMART device: smartphone, tablet or TV, even without a Wi-Fi hotspot nearby. Samsung has also given this camera its Wi-Fi Direct functionality. You can transmit image files from any Samsung Wi-Fi Direct-enabled devices that are close enough to the camera to make a connection. You can also email photos with a short text message to any account.

  1. The third major highlight of the new Samsung WB150F is full manual control. If your goal is to become a better digital photographer, then you don’t want to rely on Auto mode all the time. This camera will relinquish all control, so you can be more creative and capture the shots you see, but the camera can’t.

  1. Another appealing control feature is using a compatible smartphone to select camera functions. You can also use your phone as a remote viewfinder with the Remote Viewfinder app. Place yourself in a group photo, with the Samsung WB150F as much as 32.8 feet (10m) from your smartphone. Double-check your composition, and then change the camera settings, zoom the lens and even tag an image with the location.

  1. The excellent build quality of the Samsung WB150F digital camera is quite obvious, since much of it is constructed with metal parts. At the larger end of the compact camera spectrum, this camera won’t fit in your pocket. Its dimensions are 4.19” x 2.35” x .92” (106.4 x 59.7 x 23.4mm). This bigger size is actually a benefit, however; as it will feel comfortable when you grip it, with exterior buttons within easy reach.

  1. Image quality of the Samsung WB150F is recorded with a 14-megapixel CCD sensor that allows for quite a wide ISO sensitivity range (80–3,200) for this type of camera. This results in very good sharpness and color saturation as well as very acceptable images in low-light shooting environments.

  1. A common problem for many compact camera users is camera shake, especially during so many family activities, vacations and the exciting moments in life. Samsung has built the WB150F digital camera with a Dual Image Stabilizer. It compensates for camera or photographer movement both optically and digitally, so there is no blurring and accurate exposures.

  1. It’s just as easy to swing the Samsung WB150F into action when you want to shoot video. Record the spontaneity and fun times of your family members and friends in 720/30p HD.

  1. The 3-inch AMOLED LCD screen is big and bright and automatically adjusts its brightness by reading the ambient light.

  1. As with many compact cameras of this type, the Samsung WB150F is chock full of creative options and modes. Smart Filter 3.0 includes Cartoon Filter, Cross Filter, Oil Painting and many other functions to transform your images into very special art pieces.

The Samsung WB150F Digital Camera is available from B&H Photo Video for $219.00, at http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=samsung+wb150f&N=0&InitialSearch=yes.
