Samsung WB800F

Zitat: Pro: + fast maximum aperture + neutral colors + integral handgrip + excellent image quality Contra: - LCD is prone to glare - no RAW mode The WB800F is a compact, well designed, sturdily built, and easy to use P&S digicam with a 21x zoom, but I´d like to offer a bit of advice to Samsung´s product development folks - constantly crowding more pixels onto tiny P&S digicam sensors results in noticeably higher noise levels and the WB800F 16 megapixel sensor does produce marginally more noise than the SX280 HS´s lower resolution 12 megapixel sensor. The differences are subtle, but they are visible. How about including a RAW mode and lowering the resolution to 12 megapixels on the WB800F´s successor? The WB800F´s strongest appeal will be to travel shooters, but this camera should also appeal to street shooters too. It´s small, fast enough to capture the decisive moment, inconspicuous, and capable of generating reliably excellent digital images. Samsung cameras often provide better performance than their competition and that´s the case with the WB800F. After carrying this nifty little digital camera with me just about everywhere I´ve gone for the last couple of weeks I have decided that if I were going on a trip, I could take only one camera, and my choices were limited to either the Canon SX280 HS (the top selling travel zoom in the USA) or the Samsung WB800F, I would choose the WB800F for its neutral color palette and better-than-average image quality.

Zitat: Positioned as a cheaper alternative to the range-topping WB850F, the cheaper WB800F essentially removes the GPS of its big brother and swaps an AMOLED display for a touchscreen LCD. While we missed the GPS functionality, we actually preferred having the touchscreen, as it makes the camera quicker and easier to operate, especially for avid smartphone users. Samsung have wisely kept the physical controls too, so the WB800F should suit a wide range of abilities. While the Samsung WB800F more than matches its main rivals in terms of features and handling, image quality is not so hot. Although it produces good pictures in bright light, the results at the higher ISO settings aren´t as good as some of the WB800F´s competition, with noise already starting to become prevalent at ISO 800. This isn´t a deal-breaker if you mostly shoot outside in the day, but more varied users should take note. As usual, though, the price of the Samsung WB800F is very appealing - an official tag of £249.99 / $299.99, before any shopping around, makes this camera, if not an outright bargain, then certainly cheaper than the rest of the travel-zoom crowd, especially considering the features on offer. Only you can decide if that´s all worth sacrificing a little image quality for.
