Verdict

The Samsung WB1100F is a bridge-style smart camera featuring a 16.2MP CCD sensor and a powerful 35x optical zoom lens with a 25mm wide-angle focal length. Designed for ease of use, it includes a dedicated Speed Control Key for rapid zooming and integrated Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity for seamless 'Tag&Go' photo sharing to smartphones. Its main pros include impressive long-range reach, comfortable DSLR-like ergonomics, and versatile wireless features like Remote Viewfinder. However, it is limited by 720p HD video resolution rather than Full HD, a lack of RAW file support, and an autofocus system that can be unreliable in challenging conditions.
