I found a lot to like in the Samsung WB850F, including an ample zoom range, well-implemented controls, innovative Wi-Fi capabilities, and good image quality. The camera's GPS features are very good, too, though having to load them onto the camera yourself is a bit of a hassle.

It feels like Samsung has crammed just about every conceivable feature we’d ask of a current pocket compact into its 16 megapixel, 21x optical zoom WB850F, though occasional performance inconsistencies stop it getting full marks. ...

Als erstes muss sich die Samsung WB850F bei der Bildqualität beweisen. Der 1/2,3 Zoll große, rückwärtig belichtete CMOS-Sensor löst 16,0 Megapixel auf (4.608 x 3.456 Pixel) und besitzt eine Sensorempfindlichkeit von ISO 100 bis ISO 3.200. Bei ISO 100 ist die Bildqualität gut, auch feine Details werden aufgelöst. Bei ISO 200 - was selbst für eine Kompaktkamera mit kleinem Sensor relativ früh ist - wendet sich aber bereits das Blatt: ...

For snapshooters looking to enter the world of connected cameras, the 21x zoom Samsung WB850F is a good place to start.

The GPS system in the Samsung WB850F is a fun addition for tagging your images with their shooting location. Smartphone users are used to uploading and emailing images as and when they like. The Wi-Fi capability in the Samsung WB850F makes this more-or-less possible with a decent dedicated camera, and we think it will prove a big hit. While the Samsung WB850F wouldn't be our camera of choice for shooting in low light, it turns out good quality images in normal lighting conditions.

The Samsung WB850F is a 16MP travel compact that offers a generous range of features including built-in Wi-Fi functionality. While these all combine to make the WB850 a solid travel compact, there are a few performance issues holding it back from achieving a higher score. Overall though the pluses outweigh the negatives and so if you’re in the market for a pocketable compact with a long zoom and plenty of useful features them the WB850F certainly warrants a closer look.

The Samsung WB850F is a compact superzoom camera with a wider-than-average lens, GPS, and Wi-Fi, but its a little slow to start and shoot, and image quality suffers at higher ISO settings.

The WB850F arrives with a ‘Smart’ moniker and more features than you can shake a stick at. Unfortunately several usability issues hamper the shooting experience but overall its pros outweigh its cons.

Overall, the WB750 offers a good feature set with its versatile 21x, (23mm to 483mm) zoom range, GPS capabilities and wireless connectivity options. We think the new camera could appeal to social-networking junkies or travelers who are looking for more shooting flexibility and the ability to quickly share images online. It may also be a worthy option if you're in the market for a new travel compact.
