WB150F - my 'user comments'
Jul 17, 2012
This is an amazing camera with amazing glass.
I shot two outdoor concerts via wifi wth the camera on a 12 foot painter's pole.
Nobody knew what I was doing from my seat.
The Jpeg images amaze me and were very workable in PP.
I learned how to get my Eye-fi card to work in my WB150F.
This enables immediate transfer while shooting.
Dialed Wifi off-load, email, etc. works very well. I am sure a future update will bring some stune-up to the wifi workflow.
The camera shoots fast compared to any compact I have ever owned.
The fill flash syncs with my SB800
Fantastic - just the camera and flash, no special triggers!
If Samsung ever updates the firmware (after reading this report) I will not update to avoid risking losing the above working features).
I have two spare batteries, no problems using wifi remote viewer.
This camera puts out 14MP pixel Jpegs ( average 3-5MP files) with great detail and color and white balance.
At a lake yesterday with the water and sun to our backs I took an A priority shot with and without fill. Our faces were lit up with fill just perfectly with the small built-in flash. Amazing.
The camera is now always with me in a little waist bag.
I now carry my SB800 on my belt right next to it along with my soon to be replaced (with the EX2F) TL500 (EX1) in the same belt bag.
The detail at 24mm is jaw dropping.
I am not a brand loyalist and my spending my money on this camera does not affect my opinions about this camera. It is simply amazing.
This is a Captured Moments camera, not a Pixel Peepers camera.
Video and sound is very good, and wifi transfer to my tablet quick and flawless,
also uploads video to my site without any video conversion.
I am very happy with all of this.
The WB150F in now a new member in my photojournalism gear bag.
Hope you find my 'users review' of interest and useful.
