Already In Management


Introduction


WB150F Samsung camera comes with up to 18x zooming capability. Using Schneider Kreuznach f/3.2-5.8 lens, Samsung WB150F has wide angle shooting at 24mm. This camera consists of two colors, black and white. We reviewed the Samsung WB150F.


Design and Menu Control


Samsung WB150F Body length 4.19 inches (10.64 cm) wide and 2.36 inches (5.99 cm) in diameter as 0.92 inches (2.33 cm). This dimension is smaller than the Canon SX260 HS PoweShot. WB150F made of plastic material makes WB150F fairly light weight.

At the top there lies the body of the microphone and speaker, tomol power, and the zoom is incorporated with the shutter button and menu controls. On the menu there is a choice of control options Wi-Fi, Filter, Scene, ASM, Program, Smart, Video and Settings. For new users who are holding the camera does not need to be confused. Because some time after the control menu is selected, there will be explanations that appear on the LCD screen.

On the back there is Intelligent LCD (HVGA) measuring 3 inches. In the upper right corner there is a red button that functions for recording video. Underneath there is a button Menu, Back, Display, and Trash. While the directional / navigation is also filled with a shortcut to disp, Flash, Macro and Timer. On the right side of body right there is a slot for charging and data transfer. There is also a place for hanging. While in the position of the bottom there is a threaded tripod, batteries and SD memory slot is located inside the battery compartment. On the front there and flash assist light. The location of the flash is somewhat laterally in front of the lens and close the handle. With its location is nearly covered with the hand when holding the camera. Position in addition to the lens, making the images with the flash produces brighter images on the left object and create a shadow next to her right. Look at the example image below.


Performance

Fairly fast startup time. When we test it in Smart mode, Samsung WB150F only takes one second to be ready to shoot. But when we switch to ASM or Scene mode, the camera takes a longer time. Samsung WB150F have several options capture the image size. To 14M, the resulting image size is 4320x3240 pixels, for P at 4320x2880 pixels 12M, 10M of 3648x2736 pixels for, to 8M (1:1) at 2832x2832 pixels, up to 1M in size of 1024x768 pixels. We tried to take continuous shot (Motion Capture) in Drive menu. To capture this shot burst, the camera can take 9 pictures per second, but only applies to a resolution of 640x480.

While in video mode, Samsung WB150F capable of recording up to 1280x720 resolution at 30fps or 15fps. Another option the recording resolution is 640x480, and 320x240. Speed ​​auto focus also fairly good, while the speed of standard zooming, and can not be accelerated. Photo Editor at the menu, apply the filter was fast. However, the selection of photos, loading was a bit long.

 Features

On the Scene mode, there are eight filter options include Beauty Shot, Night, Landscape, Text, Sunset, Dawn, Backlight, and Beach & Snow. While the special features of the mode (the camera image with star) featuring eight features include Live Panorama, Magic Frame, Split Shot, Picture in Picture, Artistic Blur, Photo Filter, Filter Movie, and Photo Editor. Features Photo Editor allows the user to do editing photos directly from Samsung WB150F. In Photo Editor, the user can rotate an image, edit the brightness, contrast, saturation, ACB, Face Retouch, Red-eye fix and Smart Filters. In the Smart Filter, users can apply filters that exist. So if you forget to install the filter at the time of photographing, you can still apply the filter after a photograph taken of the preferred. Photo below using the filter that is applied to Ink Painting Photo Editor menu.

Transfer mode takes photos via WiFi Android smartphone or iPhone. With MobileLink applications that can be downloaded through Google Play and iTunes, users can copy the photos to cell phone. While the application of Remote Viewfinder, users can view images captured by a camera cell phone screen. Jangkuan distance is only about 10 meters. Through the Viewfinder Remote, users can also perform zooming and snapped photos. Samsung WB150F Review Gallery There is also a menu of Social Sharing, Email, Cloud, Auto Backup and Link TV. On Social Backup, there is the choice of site Facebook, Picasa, YouTube and Photobucket. Users can also directly upload the pictures and record video to the site. While the TV Link can display photos or video on a TV that has the same facilities. Image Quality and Noise We tested the Samsung WB150F ISO using manual shooting mode. In manual mode, users can manually change the aperture size and speed, but not the focus of the lens. ISO range starts from 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, until 3200. At ISO 80, the resulting image looks clean and clear. Note the photo below. Below is a comparison of ISO from 80 to 3200. Visible at ISO 400, images and details are not clear from apples begin to blur, and at ISO 3200, Apple had not seen details. We also tried to take photos with the macro mode. Photos of insects and flowers under our 100% crop. In the photographs of flowers, visible purple fringing on the bottom. The photo below compares when taking photos with ACB and do not activate activate. ACB is a feature that can be used when taking photos of objects with backlight position. Note the photo below, photo by ACB to make the inside of the building became lighter. It does not look significant, but quite helpful.

Movie We try to record traffic to the condition that the vehicle was not too crowded with the position of the sun in the morning, about 10 o'clock. While the camera position is under the shady trees. When we record, the change of lighting to look good and fairly smooth. However, the sharpness of the picture, looks are still lacking, despite carrying a resolution of 1280x720. This test video we did this using the full auto mode. For video resolution of 1280x720 30fps with a duration of 7 seconds is saved in MP4 format size of 7.8 MB. While the video lasted 11 seconds with a resolution with the same resolution but with 15fps consuming 3.91 GB of memory. 15fps video below is not like most of 15fps video. Typically, video 15fps will cause ghost effects, but the Samsung WB150F not.

On this camera, it looks like 15fps video playback is accelerated. We also tried a 18x optical zoom capabilities in gembar rant. The result, the object is about 100 meters can be recorded properly. Auto focus is also work well when the camera was discovered objects. Meanwhile, when the lens moves zoom, auto focus does not work either. But one thing that helps is a feature OIS (Optical Image Stabilization). OIS features reduce vibration when recording, especially when recording a very distant object. Auto white balance is also sometimes do not find the right color. Look at the green grass below, just the color changed to slightly yellow. But after that, the color of grass back to normal.

Conclusion

Samsung WB150F offers an innovative pocket camera. WiFi features without additional devices. This feature is very useful for moving or copying images to the smartphone or computer. However, this feature has not run the Mac operating system. This camera has a good macro mode and the enlargement of the length. Once in a while taking pictures with auto focus a bit off the mark than expected. Some photos are found an imbalance of focus on the right and left. But overall, Samsung WB150F produces excellent photos at low ISO. With the long zoom range, this camera can capture the object with a long distance. While some of the images found on the noise when zooming is positioned optimally. White camera body makes an elegant impression. But the white color may be dull quickly if the user inadvertently using it. Samsung WB150F internal memory is small, only 19.25 MB. While the external memory capable of storing up to 64 GB SDXC memory types.

 Pros:


Sharp and clear image quality at low ISO
The design seems an elegant white body
Capable of recording HD video
Can zoom up to 18x
OIS works well
Can manually control the images
WiFi features
Many filter options
Disadvantages:

Auto white-balance detection is sometimes wrong
Sharpness of images in video mode is less
ISO 400 has produced less clear images
When shooting at maximum zoom, there is noise and the picture starts to break


The two specs that matter most to camera makers at the instant are the length of the zoom and width at the broadest attainable framing. Resolution is basically irrelevant currently that just about each camera has crossed the 10-megapixel threshold, that is why we're seeing a succession of superzoom compacts flooding the market.

That's to not say there is nothing to decide on between them and a few place in a very distinctly spectacular performance that sets them prior to their rivals. The Samsung WB150F falls into that cluster.

It's on the market to shop for currently for £190.

Specs
Samsung has earned itself a well-deserved name for planning stunning cameras -- the type of things Apple may invent if it wasn't preoccupied with the likes of the iPad.

The WB150F isn't any exception, sporting the currently acquainted chiselled grip and a well-placed mode selector right below your thumb. you will find a daily 3-inch show to the rear, whereas the front is dominated by an 18x zoom lens. that is a powerful vary.


Specs embody an 18x zoom and fourteen.2 megapixels, that manufacture spectacular results.
Changing from wide-angle to most zoom takes three seconds. Any faster would be powerful to manage and a lot of typically than not you'd overshoot your supposed position. If you propose to snap lots at constant magnification -- an animal's den or the flip in a very racecourse, as an example -- then it's price obtaining everything started prior to to avoid missing a significant shot.

Other than that, the WB150F is quick and responsive. It's fast to seek out focus in the slightest degree zoom levels, and therefore the rear LCD is fine-grained and swish to refresh. sensible mode terribly effectively takes care of selecting the suitable settings -- macro, portrait and thus on. If you'd rather take management yourself then you'll switch between aperture priority, shutter priority and manual settings.


The Samsung WB150F can expose for up to sixteen seconds, that is nice for shooting at nighttime.
The WB150F's neatest trick is Wi-Fi connectivity. you'll simply latch onto your home or workplace network and post shots on to Facebook, Picasa, YouTube and Photobucket, upload them to your Microsoft SkyDrive account or email optimised versions to yourself. there isn't any possibility for Twitter, sadly.

Although you clearly ought to enter a password to access a protected Wi-Fi network, you do not want one for your chosen outgoing email address. On the one hand, that is a blessing because it makes it terribly simple to use, however on the opposite, somebody might simply send a compromising photo and build it seem as if it's from somebody else's email, just by coming into their address within the 'from' box.

The option to trigger the camera from your Android sensible phone may be a boon because it suggests that you'll be within the shot while not using the self-timer. However, it is a shame Samsung hasn't taken net|the net} options more and created it attainable use your web browser to go to the camera's IP address for downloading footage. you continue to got to eject the cardboard or hook up with your Mac or computer for that. The closest it gets is an automatic back-up feature, that pairs the camera together with your computer, courtesy of an app, and downloads all newly-added pictures. the disadvantage is you cannot choose individual files or use it on a Mac.


The 3-inch show is unremarkable, however a lot of impressively, you'll use it to access some nifty Wi-Fi functions.
In different respects, the WB150F just about follows the superzoom crowd. The resolution tops out at fourteen.2 megapixels -- four,320x3,240 pixels -- and therefore the lens' 18x zoom is corresponding to 24-432mm on a 35mm camera. there is optical stabilisation to assist you hold it steady at full telephoto. most aperture may be a bright f/3.2 at wide-angle and a powerful f/5.8 at full telephoto.

The longest exposure is capped at an unambitious 1/8 second within the sensible auto setting, however it is a a lot of respectable one second in program mode and eight seconds after you switch to the night scene possibility. If you are happy wiggling with the manual settings, you'll push it as so much as sixteen seconds, which can enable you to supply some spectacular night shots with streaking headlights on roads.

Sensitivity runs from ISO eighty to three,200, though the compensation of solely +/-2.0EV in 1/3EV steps is slightly slender in comparison to its rivals.


Stills tests


The WB150F produces among the simplest still pictures I've seen in any compact over the previous few months. In brightly-lit things, colors are bright and vivid however not unnaturally over-saturated. Contrasts are extraordinarily well handled with lots of detail retained in areas of each deep shadow and bright highlights.

In the image below, each the bark on the shaded facet of the tree trunk and therefore the boards on the front of the porch are well outlined. with the exception of a small halo result to the correct of the trunk, there's no sign of any chromatic aberration -- where the lens does not quite line up every of the on the market tones gift within the visible spectrum.

.
It copes equally well once I moved within. Here, the lighting was muted, however there have been sturdy contrasts at the furthest finish of the church where the sun fell on a white wall. Despite this, the WB150F retains lots of detail within the floor and does not burn out the small print at the furthest finish of the aisle. The leading of the central window remains sharp, and therefore the camera was able to maintain its lowest sensitivity setting of ISO eighty.


Even in muted conditions like the inside of this church, the WB150F impressively pulls out detail in darker areas whereas avoiding burn-out in additional brightly-illuminated areas (click image to enlarge).
Even in these muted conditions, it picks out a high level of detail in advanced textures with none artificial lighting.

When zoomed to a hundred per cent, individual fibres are clearly visible within the threads of those knitted kneelers, below. Despite the camera having considerably increased its sensitivity, the inevitable increase in noise visible within the blurred areas does not have an effect on the central purpose of focus.


These results were consistent throughout my tests, with the WB150F having no bother finding an acceptable balance that will capture the broadest attainable vary of tones, even in shots during which the illumination demonstrated considerable variation across the frame. I performed my tests with the camera set to sensible auto mode to emulate the method during which the general public can use it, with auto exposure and white balance.


At nearer quarters, the WB150F's macro mode is spot-on, maintaining a very tight specialise in the sweet spot, 5cm from the lens. With the aperture at its widest setting, the fall-off within the level of focus is quick, drawing your eye to the extraordinarily high level of fine detail at the purpose of focus. within the image below of the within of a sweet chestnut husk, the fibres that shield the nut are terribly clear on the vanguard of the skin, however lost entirely a few of millimetres more faraway from the lens -- simply as i might need.



It took the quality still-life check in its stride, with well-balanced colors, each below ambient light-weight and when using the onboard flash. However, in each instances it increased the sensitivity to ISO four hundred, that naturally introduced a degree of noise that was notably evident in areas of high detail like the text within the book and on the spirit label.





The quiet, carefully-paced zoom comes into its own here, giving swish results whereas being barely audible on the soundtrack. However, even with optical image stabilisation activated, the footage shot at the longest zoom demonstrated considerable movement when used while not the help of a tripod.

Native movie resolution is one,280x720 at thirty frames per second, with choices for 640x480, 320x240, and for dropping the frame rate to 15fps. every of those are excellent for shooting web-ready footage that will not need resampling. Individual clips will be a most of twenty minutes in length.




Conclusion

The WB150F offers one thing actually innovative -- built-in Wi-Fi while not resorting to an Eye-Fi memory card. However, if you are a Mac user, otherwise you need to download pictures selectively while not ejecting your media card or connecting to your pc, then you'll be disappointed.

The occasional imbalance within the level of focus in a number of the pictures aside, the results achieved by the WB150F were nothing in need of wonderful. it's a pleasant tight macro mode and lots of detail in wider side frames where the natural illumination is very varied.

With a robust zoom, respectable resolution and smart performance, i might think about £250 a good value to get hold of the options on provide here. The £190 asking value represents a substantial discount, that earns it a particular 'buy' recommendation. Rival makers,

  1. I bought this camera based on this review. I would like to CORRECT your review. I have had NO LUCK using my iPHONE and the SAMSUNG APPS with this phone. When I called for TECH SUPPORT they told me to call APPLE and that Samsung does not make iPhone apps. This review is FALSE! Does NOT WORK WITH IPHONE.
