Re: Song for Samsung Quality WB150F

It is suprising that it only does 720p video. I had a WB2000 and that did full 1080p and you could take stills without the video interrupting and seemed well ahead of the rest. Also the lens seems slow. It is difficult to follow Samsung's model numbers as they just do not seem to follow any logical sequence.

Every new camera seems to be a unique one off without any sign of an evolutionary process. You get WIFI but the video regresses.The EX1 is produced which implied there was to be an EX2 but then their attention wandered.

Samsung seem to struggle with consistency yet if the new NX20 pictures are anything to go by they have broken records in the delayed development of a new camera which looks exactly like the old one, which looks exactly like a squashed DSLR, which seems like too much consistency. Given that the restriction of having to place the mirror and viewfinder in one postion has gone the designers seem pretty locked in.

All very baffling.

Looking at cameras in a mass merchant. Happened upon the Samsung WB150F. Has Wi-Fi and lots of neat effects modes, but also full A S M mode, plenty of image size choices and ability to adjust image parameters (contrast, saturation, ...) in-camera. Just impressed how fluid the operations were and build quality much better than nearby Canon, Nikon, Sony models IMHO. Samsung like Panasonic is an electronics giant, but both companies have folks on board who are obviously photographers.
