nice grippy camera with great zoom - who works quietly gets a lot for little money

With Samsung cameras I previously had few points of contact. In the photo industry Samsung is almost more a NoName, the manufacturer, however, great difficulty with some innovative products in Europe to gain a foothold.
I may With such inexpensive fully automatic clippers digicam course not as critical as with the expensive brands umspringen. But I would expect sharp, high-resolution photos here.
For me, the cameras must be apart from the good sensor and sharp imaging bring four important things: good intensity, a lot of focus, speed and ease of use.
The WB1100 is initially fed correctly in the hand and is largely explained by itself.
The camera is aimed more at children playing, because for ambitious photo fans, show the mundane scene programs, because, unfortunately, can be speed, aperture and exposure programs here not adjust. In addition, the exposure is only in 1/3 increments possible I hold levels for meaningful and effective. In addition, 2 aperture can only be corrected by +/-, which is little standard are 3 stops and often are also 5 aperture possible.
Priced at around 230 you can expect no electronic viewfinder and hardly a fully articulated monitor today. But both missing me still here.
The AF is well up in the central region, but in the longer telephoto range it is very slow and hesitant, often finds not enough contrast a complaint that meets most of the older super zoom cameras, but is still annoying.

The 35x zoom sounds good and starts from 25 mm to 875 mm depending of wide-angle the better the range you can already do a lot. Samsung can install an optical and digital image stabilizer, but at the telephoto end is not always sufficient. It is important to keep the camera very quiet. But the weakness is light with f: 3.0 to f: 5.9 then rather underwhelming because the camera needs a lot of light. In the sunny south is still ok, but this country is not always ideal.
The sensitivity ranges wisely only 80-3200 ISO from 800 ISO the resolution losses, smearing and image noise are clearly visible. Ideally, one uses them only to 400, a maximum of 800 ISO.
The camera has three Macro settings can ultimately it right in front of the lens which is great showings are at 25 mm usually unattractive or to about 5.5 times the telephoto zoom from approximately 30 cm distance.
I have found in practice that the WB11000F frequently closes the aperture and not always are the shortest times freely and especially at the telephoto end is then very critically, can help then only the flash or a tripod.
If I have bestowed the camera with friends, doing much more blurred, blurred photos came out at. Lowbrow Fotofreunde like to use the focal length of, do not use the flash and hold the camera but not quiet enough, especially since they must be triggered on the long arm and can not be supported with a view finder at the top.
To see photos fast as mobile-Knips-pictures from because no peace and no composition in the photo is.
The 16 MP sensor the Samsung is tiny, 1 2/3 ie only 4.5 x 6.2 mm.
Because the camera electronics must do a lot and that is not here as highly developed as in more expensive models. The image quality is satisfactory, as compared to a conventional Panasonic TZ41 (best performance) travel camera, but loses.
Samsung attaches great importance to Connetivität at young audiences, as there is a direct link to photos and share equal to who needs something to me it would not be a reason to buy set. The additional function WiFi is more of a power-sapping gimmick for me. Films dominated the camera also, but only in HD, the sound is rather lousy.

If you compare the cameras of the manufacturer, noticed that often the same sensor / lens construction is built (barely a manufacturer makes something even her, which is purchased from a Chinese or Japanese suppliers and labeled with the corporate design).
The monitor has only 460 thousands resolution, but for pure image Consider enough. The tiny Accu provides power for an hour or play for 300-400 shots.
The Samsung is 510g light and can be held comfortably and safely, the housing is handy and easy likeable, only the image quality and speed could be even better. She is a beautiful, affordable camera with a lot of focus and an ideal area if you keep them quiet, the flash is used frequently and collected thus are photographed to 400 ISO good photos no problem.

I am practical and user no fanboy and have no significant brand preference, basing myself only on practicality, technical implementation and price / performance.
5 star corresponds with me the theoretical maximum performance in the prior art and therefore I forgive when cameras are extremely rare and not because to me a product like. Really bad cameras there is virtually indistinguishable from the leading brand manufacturers and after a bit of study of photography and the camera normally succeed each so good photos.
In hard comparison, but differences become visible that would otherwise remain hidden.

SHADOWS - lugubrious:
- Faint f: 3.0 5.9
- No sun visor, no filter thread
- No exposure modes only Scene programs
- No real influence on speed and aperture
- Exposure compensation in 1/3 increments only & only +/- 2 EV
- Image edges in the WW resolved relatively low and out of focus
- Shutter speed & Aperture can not be selected manually
- Details suffer from ISO 400
- Fixed Monitor
- Not only Full HD HD Movies Very small Accu with 1050 mAh
- Accu can be easily plugged in backwards
- Short range is not in the entire zoom range
