Samsung 16.2MP WB850F Wi-Fi Travel Zoom Review by CNET US With Rating 7.6/10

There is also the Remote Viewfinder feature for remotely control camera settings and set-up shots via a connected smartphone using the cameras' Wi-Fi connection. The Wi-Fi capability allows users to email photos from any hotspot or share them on social networks such as Facebook and Picasa. The WB850F and the WB150F comes with full manual control over the picture-taking process, with a Smart Auto mode also on board to help beginners or less experienced photographers. The WB850F also uses GPS features and Live Landmark feature to download maps and find out information on nearby locations. The camera's Digital Compass can also give users their location and tell them how far they are from certain locations, while the MapView function allows users to download maps and use their camera to help explore new cities. Here's the summary of review of the WB850F by CNET US, giving the camera a rating of 7.6 out of 10:

"For a point-and-shoot, Samsung includes a fair amount of manual control over settings including manual and semimanual shooting modes. At the wide end, there are 10 available apertures from f2.8-8.0; at the telephoto end there are four from f5.9-8.5. Shutter speeds go from 1/2,000 second to 16 seconds. But, if a reliable auto mode is equally or more important to you, well, it's got that, too. Its Smart Auto uses scene recognition to choose the appropriate settings based on 20 scene types, including ones for backlit subjects. The WB850F also has a big selection of photo filters, many of which are available for movies, too. They can be used before or after you take a photo (the camera actually has more editing options in playback than most point-and-shoots), and Samsung gives you a live view of the effects when you shoot. Depending on the effect, images are either captured at full resolution or 5 megapixels, which is plenty for Web sharing or small prints.

Two apps are available for iOS and Android that work with the camera. The MobileLink app lets you send photos and videos straight to a smartphone for sharing when you don't have Wi-Fi. Then there's the Remote Viewfinder app that gives you control over the camera using your smartphone's screen from about 20 feet away. You can control flash, timer, resolution (2 or 10 megapixels), zoom, and the shutter release. If you're looking for a compact megazoom as a companion to a smartphone camera, the WB850F is one of the best options you're going to find. The Sony Cyber-shot HX30V, has better shooting performance and photo quality, but for some users the differences will be slight and Samsung delivers a better Wi-Fi experience. For snapshooters looking to enter the world of connected cameras, the WB850F is a good place to start."

Great camera!! Gave it to my wife as a present and loves it. Shutter speed a little slow but other than that it was a good buy....

Good things come in a small package, sspudich - Apr 19 2013
I use this camera to document the products we sell. These photos are used for design, technical and assembly assistance, so I needed a camera capable of hi res., quality photos for sharpness of detail, especially when zooming in on photos for reference. This camera does this perfectly, with so many other features that it turned out to be much more than I was hoping for....

Great Quality Pics, Amazing Zoom, J. Battig - Mar 28 2013
I received this as a gift prior to a vacation trip. Out of the box I was impressed with the build quality of the camera. It has a very sturdy feel to it and is easy to grip and handle while taking pictures. Even with the large zoom, the camera is very slender and easy to carry around. The controls are fairly easy to operate and for the most part intuitive. Thanks to a good on-scree...
