Samsung WB200F Smart Digital Camera (14.2 megapixels, 18x opt. Zoom, 7.6 cm (3 inch) LCD screen, image stabilization, WiFi) White (Electronics)

Customer Review

The Samsung WB200F is a true miracle equipment that shows what is possible with modern electronics nowadays. WiFi connectivity and touchscreen make applications possible, for which one had to be a short time ago potter computer and Photoshop as you can about local split-screen mode to combine up to three pictures floating together, and the easily-developed assembly result then flight to smartphone or tablet further beam. All this is not only possible, but also easy to use and straight forward.

The 18x optical zoom lens is amazingly well corrected. Since the built-in optics not likely to be the highest quality, which is almost certainly done by software. This works well with distortion and aberrations, vignetting at the would be there at some focal lengths but rauszuholen more.

The hybrid operating concept with touchscreen and separate buttons on going, but is not always logical: So an image during playback can be eg only increase with the mechanical zoom ring, the cut can then be moved but quite by touch operation; a Reduce / Enlarge by touch gesture, as are customary in smartphones and tablets, but does not work - probably because the screen no more than capable of evaluating a touch position at the same time.

Very good, however, that the focal point can be set by touch on the display. If, however, for example in the P mode, will also call at the top of the screen can be achieved by touch exposure compensation, the camera the desired functionality can obviously not be clearly assigned - like the focus point instead is set at this point, often succeeds in Calling the correction only after repeated attempts.

However, these are all small things that are not really worthy to be - especially in comparison to the dot image quality. This is okay if the ISO number does not exceed 200. While you should also expect miracles in terms of sharpness and color reproduction of the small sensor, but for everyday use, the results are all.

What, however, abruptly changes when the ISO to 400 or - o horror! - Increases to 800 and more. The result is blurred and unansehlicher Pixelbrei, the most yet for watching on a smartphone display and -. With some abdominal pain - for a 10cm high trigger ranges (width depending on the selected image format) Unfortunately, the increase in this ISO numbers when using Auto ISO is very fast, because the optics is not particularly bright even in the wide angle range - in the telephoto range of course even less.

Thanks to the manual control you can indeed set a fixed ISO value, but quickly forces you to exposures that despite optical Image Stabilizer can result in jittery results - especially at the telephoto end.

Because a tripod would be an alternative in low light really offer in conjunction with the "Remote Viewfinder" mode - the camera combines namely wish happy and uncomplicated with an Android or iOS smartphone or tablet, so you this as a remote shutter release can use incl. thumbnails. What also wonderful and uncomplicated work - but has a serious drawback: the camera auto- matically enters the fully automatic mode - and in low light ISO values ​​climb again on simply unacceptable levels. Too bad ... In defense of the camera is, however, said that it at least has a self-timer with selectable runtime - thus a stand-use classic type is still possible, of course, although not as comfortable as with the Remote app.

Otherwise, like the compact design, the just passes as pocket-compatible.

Conclusion:

+ Compact
