For camera:
The Samsung WB800F sees in the white housing made itself very noble. It is quite heavy for the size and so makes a high impression. The controls are arranged in principle as with other cameras in this class, so that you can cope with some experience with the camera immediately. A special feature is the bright and easy-to-use touch-LCD which allows you to control the camera within the preselected programs completely.
Per mode dial you can choose between different programs, but there is also a fully automatic program that performs all settings depending on the situation. Moreover, this camera is very beginner-friendly: little help texts conduct a reliable on the display through all the menus. If necessary, this however can be deactivated permanently. Ever the menu: Here you can tell Samsung to the experience of mobile and Smart TV: can shimmy through a sober texts while other manufacturers are available at Samsung pretty little, self-explanatory pictures.
To the pictures: here the camera has no weaknesses. The 21-times optical zoom can also be distant objects absorb verwackelungsfrei. 16 MP are also perfectly adequate for this class of camera, the images are shot quickly in the Auto Adjustment mode and thanks to the good Autofocusses also razor sharp. Thanks to the touch-LCD you can also manually check out the finger, point and shoot equally well when needed.
In addition to photos you can take with the camera and HD video. Unfortunately, in this mode, the engine noise of the zoom lens are recorded unmistakable.
A highlight of this camera is definitely not the built-in WiFi. There are 2 ways: on the one hand can set up their own WiFi Camera so that a smart phone, it is possible to connect with the camera to transfer images, on the other hand, the camera can also log into existing WiFi networks (in my example with WPA2 with no problems). From the camera's WiFi menu can be in the second case send images directly via email or upload (directly on Flickr, Facebook and Twitter if you have an account there). On a PC as well as the direct backup of images is possible without cables.
It all sounds very good, but there are a few things to complain about:
- The camera does not have GPS. In the Travel Zoom class actually incomprehensible and for me personally, the knock-out criterion.
- The mode dial is so smooth that it ever changed (of course, is totally obstructive to snapshots, if you tear up the camera presses the shutter release and discovers that it is in the WiFi menu has happened a few times myself!)
Otherwise you get with the Samsung WB800F a very nice little camera that is very well suited for beginners and users of social networking.
