Samsung WB350F - 16.3MP BSI CMOS, 21X Optical Zoom, 3-inch LCD touchscreen, 1080p HD Video, Smart WiFi and NFC Digital Camera - Blue

ADDED Info: Because someone posted a question on this, I thought I would mention that this camera works fine with a 128GB Sandisk Ultra Micro SDXC card and reports space for 160,227 1MP images or 20.00 hours of 720p HD video. UPDATE regarding screen glare: I have found some ideas regarding dealing with screen glare. There are some magnified LCD extender viewfinders out there that basically allow you to use a screen only camera as if it had a viewfinder. Most are specific to some Canon DSLR models. I have ordered an inexpensive one to try out and perhaps modify. If I have any luck I will report back here. A simple and free solution that works reasonably well is to grab one of those corrugated cardboard sleeves they have at coffee shops to keep you from burning your hand. It is easy to hold the big end up against the LCD and look through the smaller end. It is not perfect, but if you have on a cap or wide-brimmed hat you can actually see the screen quite well. I try to keep the top flat by extending my index finger to seal off light entering from above. With a couple of minutes fooling with it you can figure out how best to hold it for your purposes. An added benefit is that it folds flat so you can just carry it in your pocket and whip it out when you need it. Nothing bulky to attach. Something a little longer would work even better as long as it is dark colored and probably best not glossy inside. Maybe just make a tapered cardboard tube. Just some thoughts. UPDATE: I have had a lot of experience with this camera in the last few weeks, including the last few days in Yellowstone. I am even more impressed with it than I was initially. There is not a whole lot to say except that it takes great photos and videos, including full HD video of Old Faithful erupting yesterday. I have also taken some very good images of distant wildlife at extreme zoom. The direct wifi feature works very well. It is very handy for transferring photos directly from the camera to my phone if I need to. I usually still use a direct USB connection if available, but the wifi has come in handy. I have come up with one con while using the camera at Yellowstone, but it is something common to all point and shoots. Trying to find and zoom in on a scene in bright sunlight is difficult to nearly impossible. I have a Canon SX50 which also has an electronic viewfinder. Having a viewfinder is very useful for difficult situations. I originally intended to bring both cameras, using the SX50 for the heavy work and the WB350F for pocketability. At the last minute I decided to take only the WB350F. It has been fantastic for 98-99% of what I needed, but when trying to find and zoom in on some distant wildlife in bright sunlight it has been a challenge. Please do not let this deter you from buying this camera. I have been able to use it for those shots, but the viewfinder would certainly have made it easier. Cameras with viewfinders are twice as expensive and usually much larger and heavier. You will not put one in your pocket. ORIGINAL REVIEW: This will be preliminary review since I just received the WB350F a couple of days ago. My main purpose here is to alert buyers that this camera uses micro SD. So if you need to buy media with the camera, don't buy full-size SD. I do not consider this an issue, but it might save someone the inconvenience of having to return a card and await replacement. The product description does not mention this so I assumed it used full size SD like the WB250F. This was not an issue for me because I had high capacity cards of both sizes anyway. I have a very nice Canon SX50 that I love for trips or other situations where I know I will be taking a lot of pictures, like a planned trip to Yellowstone, and will need the mega-zoom. There are a lot of more casual situations like trips to the playground with grandkids, day trips, birthday parties, etc., where it is nice to have something you can slip in your pocket just in case. I still wanted something with a decent amount of zoom. To me, the WB350F is a great combination of small size, plenty of zoom, and a decent price. I have a tiny Fuji camera, but it always felt too small in my large hands. The menu system is similar to most digital cameras. I was able to find all the settings I needed without using the manual. The hybrid system is pretty neat. You can navigate with the usual menu buttons or touch things on the screen. It is kind of handy. Once you get to a screens using the familiar buttons and get several selections on the screen, instead of moving to your choice with the buttons, you can just tap the one you want with your finger. At first I thought I would probably not use the touch screen, but I guess using smart phones and tablets all these years has me in the habit. The WB350F seems to create very good images. I confess that I am not overly picky. A crisp, clear image with good color is fine. Don't get me wrong. I do want quality images, but I don't pull out instruments and magnifiers to critique every shot. I am just more interested in the memories.

I'm very happy with this camera! The zoom is long (21x) but your pictures suffer crispiness when you go all the way to 21x (aka noise). The macro setting works well and the Auto setting on this point and shoot is close to perfect. Most of your pictures will come out well using the Auto setting especially if you are using it as I am for most general photography. However, I love the ability to manually set the aperture, shutter speed and exposure (Fn overlay). It also has enough settings (like fireworks, sports, and "perfect face" for example) to play with. I have yet to use the WiFi feature but I'm sure it's as easy as hooking it up to your computer and downloading software. However, I have read other previews that state the WiFi mode exhausts the battery life quickly. (Bonus stars for this camera because you can transfer images directly to a cell phone via a free app, control the camera remotely from that same device, or simply stream a Live View feed to your phone or tablet to use as a video baby monitor. It can also transfer photos and movies directly to Evernote, Facebook, Picasa, YouTube, Dropbox, or to an email address. These are extremely awesome options for the price point on this camera!) I still prefer to manually download most of my pictures so I can edit them anyway. The battery life has also lasted long for me. Even turning the camera on and off multiple times throughout the day. The video is crisp HD and employs single touch to begin recording - plus you can take up to 6 still photos while recording. I love that I don't have to change video modes to go from movies to still photos. The camera also has a LCD touch screen and you can swipe through the pictures to preview just like you would on a cell phone or tablet. I prefer the manual buttons so my screen doesn't get smudged but it's still a neat feature that I use from time to time. The screen is also quite large and the lens being better than most point and shoots makes the camera a lot bigger and heavier than I'm used to. It doesn't quite slide into my pocket like my previous super thin camera but compared to all the awesome options, I'm willing to overlook this inconvenience. (I also love the red color - my second choice would have been in black but I figured it be easier to find at the bottom of my purse. That's just personal preference.) There is no external charger for the battery so you'll have to use the (too short) cable that comes with the camera to charge it through your computer or laptop. Not an issue for me since it charges as I download the pictures and videos anyway. However, there are after-market batteries and/or external chargers you can buy as an alternate. The flash actually pops up (there is a button directly underneath it). It is plastic and spring loaded (aka fragile) so take care. I can see how it would break very easily. However the idea is good as it provides more indirect light instead but the flash can still be a bit harsh. I've mostly used the flash on more cloudy days or to remove shadows on the face and works well in both of these environments. The camera performs the worst in low light. I've yet to take a good photo without the help of the flash in low light settings but then again, that's why the flash is there, right? Overall this camera has performed very well (especially for a novice like me who just wants to take pictures of my family, places we visit, etc), easy to use and packed with many fun features. It's a great general camera and I would recommend it.

First thing first - ***UPGRADE YOUR FIRMWARE**** to the latest version Samsung has made some improvements to image quality. This review is based on the latest as of 01-14-2015. When I received the camera it needed the upgrade. Also make sure you use a fast microSD card so the image write times are reduced. Picture Quality - You need to remember that this is a small 2.3 back lit sensor. You cannot compare this to a full frame, or even crop sensor camera. But back to picture quality. I've had many compact cameras, even the "not-so-compact" Canon SV-50 so comparing it to other cameras with a 2.3 CCD this camera was a surprise after reading some of the negative reviews. Low-Light is actually handled very well with little noise up to about 800 ISO. The pictures compare well with my SV50 for grain and color. Those "pixel peepers" who bash this cameras picture quality need to tell me where you are going to get a camera with better features and picture quality in this price range. This is a travel camera for times when I don't want to carry my Olympus M4:3 System with all it's lenses. Build Quality - there are some reviewers who said that this feels like a toy... Really?... This camera feels very solid it's actually a bit larger then I expected. Not huge, and still pocket-able (for guys with normal pants, tightpants need not apply here LOL). Buttons, screen, lens, flash, all feel well put together the camera has a bit of heft. The rubber thumb rest is a nice touch. It would have been nice if they carried that to the front of the body. However, since I camo cover all my cameras it wouldn't have mattered anyway. The selection dial on the top is in a strange place and I could see how it may get switched from moving the camera around in your hand (note: this has not happened to me yet but I just wanted to point that out, it's really not a deal breaker). Lens - I am still amazed that they are fitting lenses like this in such a small package. Of course this is only made possible by having a small sensor. the f2.8 to f5.9 is really nice plus Samsung claims a 3 to 4 stop advantage from the on board image stabilizer and I have no reason to doubt that claim. Pictures taken inside without flash and with a steady hand are clear and crisp even in low light. I actually think this camera performs better then my SV50 did in low light. Towards the end of the zoom the camera seems to get a bit softer but I am still testing all of that. When you are taking pictures with a 21x (86mm) zoom on a small body any slight movement will effect any type of camera. Learn to use your environment, lean on a tree, post, or sign to steady up. Or the best option use a tripod if the picture is more critical (read: family photo). Zoom speed is a bit slow but functional. Video Quality - is superb for this type of camera, the mic is mono but picks up well. It is prone to wind noise so you may want some type of wind block device. Some reviews pointed at a slow motion capture mode. I have not found this to be true but I am still searching to see if it is burried deep in the menus some where. Remote Viewer Software - I am an Android nut so I cannot speak for I-phone or I-anything. It worked each time I tried it. Pairing was fast and the mirror image on my phone is only slightly laggy. This feature will be used for family photos or anytime I need a remote. You can control the zoom, photo size, turn flash on and off (if it is deployed), and shutter release. This same software also allows you to download photos directly to your phone from the camera. You don't need to be in wireless coverage the camera sets up an ad-hock style network (which was important to me). WIFI apps and implementation - Wifi works but the interface is a bit clunky. From what I can tell there is no way to see the networks you have remembered in the camera. There is also little to no way to tell if the radio is even on or attached to a network. But it's does work and I had no problems attaching it to my home network. The dropbox process is very weird but it does work. You need to log in every time you want to share and it doesn't remember your login or password. Facebook app I have yet to get it working, every time I login the camera tells me that there was an error. Facebook then tell me there was a login attempt from an unknown browser. I have not tried the other apps and honestly it really doesn't matter to me since I would share almost everything through my phone or my PC. The apps don't matter to me (hence the 4 star review) however you will need to know that the implimentation is not very well done. If these options matter to you, then you should look at the galaxy camera (1 or 2) which runs android and has the same sensor and lens. Battery Life - I am still on the fence waiting until I have a few more charge cycles. ( I have a trip coming up the camera will get a good workout) SD Card - Yes THIS CAMERA TAKES A MICRO SD CARD. I don't see the big deal but for some people it may be a deal breaker. I've already got a library of both microSD and full size SD cards so it's not a big deal for me. Software - I am not going to review all the filters and options available. I am more of a camera nerd and rarely use in camera effects but there are some cool creative options there to explore. The internal Facebook, Dropbox, and youtube integration is a bit clunky but does work. ---SUMMARY--- The Good - Great Image Quality for a small sensor camera, f2.8 in a small camera lens, Great zoom range, image stabilization works well, build quality is great, Lots of filters and in-camera features, Video quality is great The Bad - WIFI and app implementation is very clunky but works

I was very happy with my Canon sx280 (20x zoom) but was intrigued by the Samsung's 21x zoom starting at 23mm (extreme wide-angle) lens and movable flash head so I decided to try it out. I was very surprised and pleased by the image quality and feature set of this camera. The WB350 is definitely a pocket sized camera but not the smallest pocket super-zoom camera on the market. It is about the same size as the Canon SX700 and a bit taller than most other pocket zooms including the Canon SX280. The WB350 has several features not usually found in a camera in this price range and target audience; exposure bracketing (sort of), built in bounce flash, flash intensity compensation (controls the strength of flash), manual shutter and aperture setting controls and completely manual (Kelvin) white balance. The last feature (manual white balance by K#) is not found on some good mid level DSLR cameras (i.e. Nikon D5300, Canon Txxi). This camera has a small sensor so anything shot past ISO 800 is not very good. Noise (graininess) is present even at ISO 400. But ISO 800 is usable which is pretty good for this type of camera. Also, the lens is pretty bright, (at wide angle focal lengths), with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 helping to avoid the necessity of using higher ISOs in better lighting conditions. There is no dedicated ISO button. In any event if you primarily shoot in dim lighting requiring an ISO over 800, you really should look at something with a larger sensor (ie Sony RX100 or a compact system camera). Images taken in good lighting (i.e. outdoors or good indoor lighting) are very, very good. The automatic white balance and metering almost always get it right. I was surprised that the images are a bit nicer and more vibrant than the (excellent) Canon SX280. The movable flash head can be pivoted to simulate an external flash being tilted to "bounce" the flash. This results in softer lighting and much more pleasing exposures. However, this is a small camera with a small and relatively weak flash. Using an indirect flash weakens the intensity more so. Consequently this feature is really only useful in reasonably bright rooms where the subject is reasonably close. Lower F stops and Longer shutter speeds also help. The 23mm wide angle end of the lens is wider than most cameras especially anything this small. Although there is serious distortion in videos when shooting at 23mm, incredibly, the .jpgs are almost distortion free at this extreme wide angle. I am not a big touch screen fan, but the touch screen works quite well. The retro grainy-leather look exterior looks pretty sharp but some type of grip would have been helpful. I would have only given 4 1/2 stars if this was available because of the ridiculous decision to use Micro-SD cards instead of standard SD cards like everyone else. This card (so small that an ambitious ant could walk away with one) requires the use of an SD adapter every time a card reader or computer/laptop card slot is used. Did Samsung suddenly decide that a standard SD card is just too heavy or too big?? Of course, a micro SD card or even an adapter for micro-SD cards are not included. Nor by the way is a battery charger (the battery must be charged while inside the camera; an inconvenience and a savings of about 11 cents to Samsung). In any event, overall this is a terrific camera when used in decent lighting conditions. The great image quality, movable flash head and other advanced features put this camera at the top of its genre. Like all cameras, the most important component is the skill and imagination of the photographer.

I was looking at several cameras in this feature range for $150 - $250 that could replace my Canon A3300IS for everyday use, and possibly my Kodak ZD8612IS for zoom and panoramic shots. I settled on this camera because of its powerful zoom capabilities, 1080p video, manual focus, and full manual settings. Also, I had great experiences with a Samsung S730 that took excellent pictures and had full manual control until I wore out the image sensor. This WB350 has a great feel in my hands and points naturally, allowing quick framing of a distant subject at full zoom. All the different video and picture effects are fun, but most of them can be done on the computer with an editing program. The zoom comes in really handy and is very impressive for a camera this size. It's actually pretty startling when the zoom lens unfurls from the camera body! The auto-focus has some trouble at higher zoom levels, taking several seconds and possibly some motion before it will focus. The camera is ready to take pictures or video about 3 - 4 seconds after powering it on if you start in Auto mode. It will take longer if the dial is turned to ASM, as you are prompted to choose Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual before proceeding. I bought some spare batteries and a wall charger along with this camera, since I knew the long zoom would probably be very power hungry. I also wanted a wall charger for the batteries, since I like to be able to keep a lot of batteries charged and ready to use, often charging them while still using my camera. The extra batteries I bought last a bit longer than the Samsung battery. I can take about 300 images without the flash, or about 45 minutes of 1080p video without using the zoom much. Using the flash with photos and the zoom with video seems to really use a lot of battery power. The flash has acceptable range, and is pretty useful with adjustable output. Images taken by this camera are usable, but really quite disappointing. I've tried every setting, under every lighting condition, and even at the lowest ISO setting with perfect lighting there is too much noise in the pictures. It's 16.3 wasted megapixels, due to grain distorting any fine details. You might as well take image sizes that are no larger than your monitor's resolution. For some reason, this excessive noise seems to really ruin panoramic pictures, with noise visible even without enlarging the photo. With no RAW support, you're just stuck with the terrible images this camera spits out. Everything about this camera is an upgrade from my previous cameras, except the most important thing: the pictures. My Canon A3300IS, Kodak ZD8612IS (which is only 8MP!), and my Samsung S730 take clearer, sharper images than this newer Samsung WB350 Smart Camera. It really is a disappointment because this camera cost twice what I paid for any of those cameras. Additionally, the much older and less expensive S730 was also made by Samsung, and the WB350 is a downgrade in image quality from that 7 year old pocket camera. It's as if Samsung simply ripped out the camera parts of a cell phone and placed them into a camera body with an excellent optical zoom lens. The fact that this is just a cell phone without the phone (but a great optical zoom) is further supported by the ridiculous use of a Micro SD card . This is a very large camera and could have easily used a normal sized SD card, which is the right size for handling. The camera seems to be geared toward installing the included software and using the USB cable to transfer files from the card, but this camera along with most, only operates at USB 2.0 speed. Removing my high speed memory card from the camera and inserting it into a USB 3.0 card reader is the only way to get the full transfer speed of my card. Such a tiny card is very awkward to handle as I feel like it will break or I will drop it into a crevice around my desk. I've also had the tiny card spring out of the camera and land on the floor between my feet while trying to remove it from the camera! Micro SD is just too small for handling, and the camera's USB 2.0 speed is too slow for my card's full potential. All of the wireless and social media sharing features of this camera are useless to me as I was attracted by the CAMERA features of this camera. This camera is supposed to have a "manual focus", but I have determined that this is just a gimmick. The feature doesn't actually put you in control of the mechanical focus mechanism. The camera still has to establish an auto-focus, then it allows you to move a slider across a preset focus range. The best way to tell it's a fake manual focus is to try and focus the camera in the dark. No matter where you move the slider, the image is never in focus. This completely eliminates the uses I had planned for it. The video looks quite usable (after a firmware update) and is an improvement over the 720p video my Canon A3300IS produces. With terrible picture quality, it turns out that this camera is actually a better video camera than picture camera. The full optical zoom can be used while taking a video, making it much more versatile than any of my previous digital cameras for video. There is a feature enabled by default that magically removes the sound of the lens zooming in and out by slightly muffling the audio. This feature somehow removes the mechanical sounds of the zoom while preserving most ambient sounds. The microphone is mono but is somehow better than any of my previous digital cameras, perhaps because of the sampling rate of 44.1 KHz and variable bitrate up to 128 Kbps. It picks up sound really well - every breath and sniffle while you're taking the video. Oddly, it seems to pick up distant sounds better when you zoom in. The only negative thing about the video function of this camera is the dedicated video button. Using the video button feels awkward, and requires repositioning my fingers to press the button. This often results in a "jerk" in the video when trying to stop recording. In summary, I can't recommend this camera for pictures because of the high image noise. A camera that costs this much should take better pictures than a camera half its price, not worse. I'd recommend a Canon PowerShot in this price/feature range, as I know they take less grainy images. That being said, I plan to keep and use my WB350 due to the video features. If I go on a trip where I plan to take great shots, I'll bring my older, cheaper cameras for that.

I purchased this Samsung WB350F based on the other reviews that I read. The camera broke the 4th time I ever used it (less than 3 months).I had purchase an Assurrion Warranty as well, which at this point has proven worthless. I'll explain a little more so you understand. First, the Problems: The camera stopped taking pictures. I have tried taking pictures in different lighting, thinking perhaps it is something else. I believe that it must be a software issue since when I go to review past pictures on the menu, the screen will switch on its own with out being touched or prompted. I cannot even upload anything from the camera without removing the memory card. This is a terrible camera. Second, the Experience: So I went through Amazon to return and they pointed me to the Assurion Warranty to file a claim. I thought "oh good, this will be fast and simple". I was wrong. I received an email from Assurrion indicating that they were refunding my money without need to return, but I needed to file the claim online. I did this and at the end they directed me to contact Samsung because it was within their warranty period. I called Samsung and they told me that they do not cover any refunds for broken cameras purchased through Amazon because they are not an Authorized Dealer. As you can imagine I am super frustrated at this point. I keep asking myself, where is the customer service. Who backs up these defective devices? So I called Assurion back on the phone and spoke with a customer service rep. She said that there was nothing they could do during the Manufacturer Warranty Period. I would have to cover the cost of shipping the defective camera back for service. She did say, and I quote," If the camera was physically damaged or if the lens was broken or water damaged, then we would cover it". I struggle with the idea that I need to "break" my camera to get anything covered without additional cost. I am still working with Amazon to try and get this worked out with the Seller. I have purchased a different camera from a reputable Dealer here in my city. I love Amazon, but I have never had such a difficult time getting honest service for a defective product. I know that a lot of it goes back to the Seller backing up their products, but I depend on Amazon to provide me with quality Sellers. This experience makes me value Costco's approach to customer satisfaction even more. I've been a Prime Member since it was available. I also own a business and I do take the customer experience very seriously. I hate getting the "run-around" and refuse to accept that as the Standard of Service. I would encourage Assurion to review the training for their employees. Encouraging people to break something further is not honest business and increases costs for everyone. Moral of the story, only buy direct from Costco (or Amazon if they are the Seller). Don't waste your hard earned money buying through Sellers who may or may not back up the sale.

Works good and seems to take great pictures. The NFC does work well to transfer pictures. You can transfer pictures via wifi but must have a wifi signal to transfer. Wifi is faster. The camera is small and light. I keep it in my purse. The zoom is great. Very easy to operate and the settings that are built in for different types of picture settings are very easy to figure out. The price is effeminately great. I wanted to give an update. I have had this camera for 2 months now and love it. I have taken it on vacation to Hawaii. My daughter brought my Canon and I used this. Her camera was bigger but mine took just as good of pictures and maybe better. I'm not a professional photographer at all but my pictures looked awesome with great color. Every picture I was taking turned out. I usually just put it on Auto. I loved the size of it because it fits in my purse and its not heavy. Even taking pictures through a helicopter window turned out great. My husband was impressed. I zoomed in on a waterfall through a window of the helicopter and it turned out great. When we were in HIlo and it rained lightly, I was still using it. I wouldn't recommend it, but there was not problems.

I have a samsumg NX300 camera, although it is a mirrorless camera, it is still quite bulky due to those big lenses i attached to it ( for the reason of it unwieldy mobility i had missed many chances that i could have gotten many good photos if i had had it with me). I decided to get a pocket camera that i can bring it around everyday, so i will not miss any photographic scene that always happens when i don't have my NX300 with me. Now i can carry my Sansung WB350f on my belt whenever i go out. I bought this WB350 pocket camera from amazon and it came in in 2 days after i ordered it ,as a prime member. My first impression about this small camera is that it feels solid with the black leather texture in the front of the body that looks very nice. The whole camera is like a minimalism artwork. It has only straight lines and a circle looking from the front. It smacks of a 50's old style camera. Now about the performance, I like the 21X zoom lens very much. The range is equal to 23mm all the way up to 480mm. To cover this range on the mirrorless NX300 i need to carry at least two big lenses. The small WB250f easily cover the range with one single small lens. Of course, the photo i took with the small camera can not compete with that of the mirrorless camera, but the mobility of the small camera is more than compensating for the quality issue of the photos ( if one do not blow the image all the way to the highest resolution.) All in all i enjoy this small camera that is so handy and can cover almost all the shooting occasions. So far i have used it for only 2 days and i will post another review after i have used it for a longer time and see if anything will breakdown when it is not so new anymore. Highly recommending to anyone who needs a small mobile camera one can carry with him/her whenever one goes out and uses the camera like a mobile phone. Even the quality of images it takes is not as good as the DSL, the photo quality is wayyyy better than the mobile phones ( as a matter of fact, it is several order better than any mobile phone can do with this small camera).

Its a smart camera. Instant sharing between camera and phone if you have NFC . picture quality is also nice. It got lot of features you will never get in other cameras.

Great camera! So easy to use, love the touch screen and it takes beautiful pictures.

Awesome Amazon! 5 stars only for Amazon. The delivery was perfect (1day) Recvd Yest. Came very well packed in a neat box. But the best part is I got this model (WB350) @ 50% plus discount!! I had to call up the Amazon CS to confirm if the discount for this model was real..as I couldn't believe since the same was @ INR 16k 10 mins ago. (lolz) So to sum up.. Amazon Discount @ 50% + HDFC 10% Cash back + free Backpack worth INR 1999 (15 Inch Laptop size) - It's a ton of a deal!! Thanks Amazon - truly ''NO GIMMICKS'' unlike other websites - Yes you guessed it correct! lol I might take some time to review this product.. however, I spent little time with this Camera..& damn! it takes some awesome pics!! What you get in the Box - - Battery - USB cable - Same for charging (No separate charger - Bad idea SAMSUNG - 4 GB Sandisk MicroSD - Wrist strap - Camera case (Not bad - Okay- still gonna buy 1 later) to be continued.. Update - 04/01/2015 I am sorry for some of the reviews here below seems to be negative about the product. It could be some issue, but Amazon gives you the 100% purchase protection if fulfilled by Amazon. So you can refer to this on Amazon and get it sorted out! Now lets talk about the camera! It's been few months that I have been using this camera and I must say it takes some great shots and truly delivers as expected. Now please be aware that at this price range you cannot expect more..however Samsung has done a fantastic job with this Camera. It also depends on your skills. The Camera works great in daylight and captures in detail. The color reproduction is amazing and it gives sharp and natural touch. I would definitely say the flipping flash is awesome to work with, it will not disappoint you as it gives you perfect lighting for your shots in dark. The best part it the battery life of this Camera which is insane! I have just been to Goa and I could take shots including videos throughout the day with still some charge left! I love the modes on this Camera.. Auto mode is the best as most of shots come out brilliant in this mode..however you can change and still get the best shots in different modes too. Low light photography : One of the most important as anyone would love to have a great low light capturing Camera. Trust me this Camera will not disappoint..Far better than cameras from different brands ranging up till 20k..this one beats out all of them.. easy handy, a little heavy on pocket :) but who wants to complaint when you have a overall an amazing package!! Thanks Amazon!

bought this in october 2014 because of WiFi and NFC features but am so disappointed as I can't just point and shoot a picture even in Auto mode! Display keeps changing to settings, smart auto, program etc. by itself making it very difficult to focus on an object and take a picture! There is no forced flash to take pictures of subjects with bright light behind!

this camera is very goog and i took this item for 9000R .it worth full also. features also very good.
