thoughts on wb750

The problem is traditionally Samsung doesn't invest too much into firmware, seemingly cutting costs there when they get the products functional. It also appears they aren't diverting resources to further development once a product is shipped, beyond a few minor updates that don't fix major problems, so likely there will never be firmware that will fix this.

Some little defocus may be normal, but this complete defocus and refocus makes useless the zooming-while-filming function (you can not show a video with this problem). Same issue was on wb700 and has not been improved. Maybe the problem is that super big zoom and this super high speed on zooming, but the complete defocus is unacceptable. In this sample focus was not on close objects but in distant ones, so there is no reason for defocus two or three times on a full zomming.
Too many issues to hope to be solved on firmware upgrades solely.

Again, look at their marketing- it's ONLY devoted to the NV800. There is rarely anything else because they are betting everything on that camera. That should give you an idea of where they're going and it's not IQ. It's feature list and gimmicks.

not by reviewers, the images says it all on it's own.... ( imo i know some people will only like certain cameras for what ever reason and not like others at all). Those picture that were on here were very disappointing. SO i am confused to why samsung wouldn't want to make IQ as good as it can be for that camera/ sensor like the others to have a fair competition? does that make sense. I mean there are always good reviews and bad ones but the pictures don't lie, that's the true side of the camera that comes forward. even if they have certain gadgets that others done, can take still while recording a video are all nice but when you don't have IQ what good area they? right.... when i looked at those pics posted, i thought they were the worst out of the group of cameras i have been looking at, why is that? i would of thought they would of been pretty close to the rest.
