Samsung WB150F Review: A Pocket Megazoom With Built-In Wi-Fi

One of three Wi-Fi-enabled Samsung cameras announced at this year's CES, the WB150F ($230 as of April 26, 2012) brings connected features into the realm of pocket megazooms with an 18X-optical-zoom lens that ranges from 24mm wide-angle to 432mm...

18X optical zoom lens (24mm to 432mm) ; Built-in sharing via Wi-Fi ; Good mix of creative shooting modes

No high-speed or low-light modes ; Hard to access and adjust manual controls ; Video capture maxes out at 720p

The 18X-optical-zoom, Wi-Fi-enabled Samsung WB150F has a nice mix of creative modes for casual shooters, but its manual controls require a bit too much menu-diving.

Samsung WB150F

It's not perfect, but the nicely priced compact Samsung WB150F camera packs a sharp 18x zoom lens and integrated Wi-Fi so you can email or upload your pics to Facebook easily.

Built-in Wi-Fi. Sharp lens. 18x zoom. Compact design. Inexpensive.

Slow performance. Noisy images at higher ISOs. Video capture is limited to 720p.

Performance and Conclusions One area in which the WB150F lags a bit behind the competition is speed. The camera requires 3.8 seconds to start and take a shot, makes you wait 1.5 seconds between photos, and manages a 0.4 second shutter lag. Another 18x...

Samsung WB150F (Black) review

While camera manufacturers like Sony, Panasonic, and Canon are dabbling in Wi-Fi cameras, Samsung's really invested in the concept for 2012, offering four cameras with a big helping of wireless functionality. Included in those models is the WB150F...

The Samsung WB150F has built-in Wi-Fi that's easily set up for wireless sharing and backup. It has an abundant set of shooting and editing options.

Samsung's smartphone apps are only guaranteed to work with Samsung Galaxy devices and its autobackup software is Windows-only. The camera's photo quality is barely better than a smartphone's and its shooting performance is somewhat slow.

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.

Samsung WB150F Review

The Samsung WB150F is a 14.2 megapixel compact camera with the company's own BSI CMOS sensor, a 18x, 24-432mm optically-stabilized lens, 720p HD video recording and a 3 inch LCD screen. The WB150F travel-zoom also offers wi-fi capability that allows...

Though the Wi-Fi enabled Samsung WB150F operates very much as a user-friendly point-and-shoot camera, its manufacturer has packed in more functionality, digital effects, and a diverse range of control options - including manual operability, if so...

Samsung WB150F Camera Review

Image quality that you expect with unmatched innovation in features. WiFi, anyone?

Strong and appealing design; Accessible interface; Built-in WiFi is very handy and innovative; Long zoom lens; Manual controls

Decent but unremarkable image quality; Low light delivers fair amount of noise; Sometimes sluggish interface

Special mention has to be given to the creative filters that this camera packs, which is a new thing that cameras like to do for the casual users and Samsung kicks it up a notch with a wide selection. There’s stuff like Sketch, Oil Painting, Cartoon,...

Samsung WB150F

The Samsung WB150F 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...

Samsung WB150F

An aggressively-priced travel zoom that offers 18x magnification and new Wi-Fi capability.

18x zoom in a compact body; Above-average color reproduction

Not very sharp; Slow continuous shooting

There are plenty of better options out there than the Samsung WB150F. And many of them were released sufficiently long ago that street prices will equal Samsung’s aggressive MSRP. For almost every feature, every one of our lab tests, and indeed every...
