IMPRESSED
By Sully
Update (October 2012):There are a few reviews on this camera from people who did not delve into the complex settings of the device you are looking at. Their reviews unfortunately dragged down the star ratings to an unrealistic rating. This camera is great! Image quality is great! However, I have not used the automatic mode very much. You will get amazing quality pictures when you spend time on your shots. There are simple settings like ISO (light sensitivity), aperture, and shutter speed. Toggling these settings will create awesome pictures worthy of your family album, Facebook profile, and personal website.____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________I wanted a great camera to capture the beautiful landscapes of my life in the Midwest. However, I did not want a big fat DSLR-style camera or a compact camera with 5x zoom. And why not spring for the attractive white version?Prime shipping is awesome. I received this in less than 24 hours.Like I did, you may be reading critic and user reviews on various models and you'll be dazzled with each different variation on the same technology. This is an ultra-zoom compact camera which combines automated settings with the ability to vary settings manually, just as the pros do! The critics will say this or that about a camera, but they seem to me to always recommend the newest $300 model.This camera has an 18x zoom which can be used for both photos and videos. It has a 3-inch LCD screen and a dedicated video record button.You can actually edit photos during and after taking them, with different effects and scenes that may remind you of Instagram on your smartphone.Speaking of smartphones, THIS CAMERA HAS WIFI! So yeah, you can send photos and videos to Facebook, email, Picasa, Youtube, Photobucket, and Microsoft SkyDrive. Even better, with an Android or iPhone, you can use two apps that will interface with this camera: Mobile Link and Remote Viewfinder.Suppose you're taking a group photo, but you want to be in it! You can zoom, change basic settings, and snap the photo from your PHONE with Remote Viewfinder.Perhaps you want to transfer content from the camera to your phone: Use Mobile Link. In both cases, the Samsung WB150F creates its own wireless access point which pairs with your phone.The above features may work best with Samsung phones, however my HTC Droid Incredible worked perfectly for this! You won't regret your purchase!

I wanted to love this camera.....
By Angela Streiff
I shopped around for so long, trying to find just the perfect camera to replace my old digital one. I literally wore out my last digital camera. It got to the point where the lens covers came off, and the photos that were taken took several minutes to save to the memory card. So it was time for something new. After months of shopping and reading reviews, I took a chance on this Samsung. I have to admit, I was a sucker for the white case color. It's a modern and clean look and case color, and with the features is has, I had to believe it would take at least adequate photos, and it may very well do that, if you know how to change all the light and and shutter settings.Alas, I am not a professional photographer. I know how to turn the flash on and off, I know how to set my cameras for macro photos, and even how to take photos at night. But for the most part, unless my point and shoot digital camera has a setting that tells me this is "night mode", "museum mode", "light behind an object mode", etc, I am not familiar enough with the manual settings to get the best photos for all these situations. Thankfully, there is a settings mode that offers some of these as options, but what it really needs is an "indoors light photo" mode, since the smart-auto mode can't seem to capture photos taken indoors well. Like many people, I buy a point and shoot digital camera with auto focus to do just that, take the photo and focus for me. If I knew what was the appropriate shutter speed to take a photo of my kids opening gifts on Christmas morning, I would purchase and use an SLR.With that said, the point and shoot results from this camera vary constantly. Indoor photos are always too dark, and like I've seen mentioned elsewhere by others, there is an odd black shadow in almost every indoor photo taken. I have to take 10 photos of the same thing from slightly different angles before I can get a shot without it. Outdoor images are beautiful. Unfortunately, I find a lot of life's moments that I want to capture in photos, happens indoors.There are some really fun features to this camera that I have learned to love. You can take photos in split-shot. Which means you take one photo, then take a second one, and it creates the two images into one single photo, with one on the left and one on the right. This is great for front and back photos of objects. There is a picture-in-pictures feature, all kinds of neat photo effects and you can take panoramic photos. There's a whole host of other high tech features, such as being able to transfer photos from your camera to your PC or other devices through wi-fi. However as fun as these are, I find myself grabbing my iPhone to take photos indoors when I need to, just so I can get the photo the first time. It's disappointing that my cell phone takes better shots inside. As appealing as the features and sleek white case are, it's not worth it if more than half of the photos always come out bad. If you're familiar with changing your settings for light and shutter speed and are okay with doing that every time you use this camera, it may work out great for you. But if you need a point and shoot that you can just turn on and take a photo without a lot of thought as to the lighting and settings, this one will likely give you headaches.Update 3/11/2013: Something I didn't mention in my original review is that yes, the wi-fi does work. I found it pretty simple to use, however I'm the network administrator in my office at work, so connecting things across a network is something I do frequently. Samsung has done what they can to make it as simple as possible, but in the end I find it faster to just pull out the memory card and download everything to my computer that way. The wi-fi is handy if you're on vacation or not at home, have access to a wireless connection, and are looking to send images from your camera to FaceBook or an email address. But it's not by any means faster or easier than downloading them to your computer via the memory card. Also, the dark shadows do still show up in my indoor photos. I don't use a camera case or anything like that could cause it. It's just not a great low light camera. However it takes great outdoor images.
