Great Features for the Price

We were looking for a camera that was a step up from our old point and shoots. I did a LOT of research into compact systems and mid range point and shoots. We didn't feel that we would use all the features of the compact systems so we settled on the upper end P&S. It came down to a few features such as optical zoom, CMOS sensor, HD video, and a late entry of Wi-Fi (we are going to a theme park and my wife wants to publish to Facebook from the park). I had settled on a couple models, but wasn't extremely confident that I was getting what I wanted. Then I stumbled upon the WB250 just as it was coming out and decided that this was the right fit. So far I am very pleased with the quality of the camera, the pictures, and the video. The Wi-Fi was very easy to set up and transfers photos to your cell phone or LAN quickly and easily. The only reason I downgraded one star is that the flash does not pop up automatically when taking pictures in low light. You have to manually open it or it will take a picture without it. It's not deal breaker, but is a minor annoyance. No other cameras out there with these features even comes close to the price and quality of this camera. I would highly recommend the WB250.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, wi-fi transfer
Cons: flash doesn't pop up automatically
I would recommend this to a friend!

The flash is not real auto since it needs to manually press a button to pop-up the flash to use.
Video recording is blurring and slowly focus when zooming out or in during recording. I 've not seen any of these on my previous cameras. Of course, some people may argue that "I got for what I pay", and I don't think it's true because my previous cameras were not expensive either.

Pros: Inexpensive, Lightweight, easy to use

Great Camera

This is a great camera that is packed with features. Picture quality is outstanding. I own a Galaxy SIII phone and downloaded the remote camera view finder app. Its easy to use and works every time. Its nice that I can be included in the photos too without having to run after setting the self timer like my old camera. My friends cant believe that the camera can work from the phone. its great that I can share photos from the camera with wifi too.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Terrible reaction time

I purchased this camera to replace a stolen camera right before my trip to Europe. I liked the features it offered, so I went for it.
The camera has a very poor reaction time. I was on a tour bus and missed several good photo opportunities because the camera wouldn't focus quick enough, and several times it wouldn't snap the picture when I pushed down the button. It was very frustrating.
Another thing is the battery life is absolutely atrocious! I would be on a full day tour, but the battery was dead by noon. I ended up taking pictures with my iPhone (better quality too).
I wish I could return it, but the company I bought it from has a 15-day return policy... My trip was for 11 days. Needless to say from the time I purchased it to the time I returned, it was well over 15 days.
I would definitely not recommend this product to a friend. Which is sad because I love Samsung products.

I am 52 years old and never interested in purchasing state of the art equipment because I remain"old school" and not very savvy on new technology. However this camera is not at all complicated that it prevents me from learning how to use it. Its sleek design and features makes me WANT to learn how to use its multitude of features.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
