Verdict

The Samsung WB150F is a versatile travel-zoom compact camera featuring a 14.2-megapixel 1/2.3" CCD sensor and a powerful 18x optical zoom Schneider-Kreuznach lens (24-432mm equivalent) with optical image stabilisation. Key characteristics include its built-in Wi-Fi for direct social media sharing and mobile backup, full manual exposure controls (A/S/M), and a 3-inch 460k-dot LCD screen. Its main pros are the impressive focal range packed into a pocketable metal body and the then-innovative 'Smart' wireless connectivity. However, cons include limited 720p HD video resolution, poor low-light performance with high noise above ISO 800, and a sluggish overall interface with slow continuous shooting speeds.
