"The camera is awesome! Excellent picture quality and great features. Updating the firmware doesn't work the way Samsung says it should however. They say unplug from the PC and push the shutter (OK) button. This camera has 1 of each and pushing either one does nothing. Then the camera is suppoosed to turn itself off. Mine stayed on till the battery ran down. However, when I attached the power cable and turned it on, it updated."

Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, optical zoom

Cons: minor update issues

"I was upgrading my camera I bought 3 years ago. With the cameras out there today, I believe the WB850 met my needs; what seem like unlimted features, WiFi, use as a remote, speed, geo tag (GPS), small enough to fit in a shirt pocket. YET, it is very powerful to cover all indoor and outdoor scenes. With the 23mm Schnelder/Kreuznach lens and a 21X optical, the features it has, makes it a good value."

Pros: features vs. price its hard to beat!

Cons: none i am still trying to find one.

"This is a really great camera. It is a perfect size, not so small that it is lost in your hand when you shoot a photo but small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. One star off for the battery life. The new firmware update is a must. Still plan on keeping a second battery close by as you snap photos and try all of the other options this camera is possible of. The best in its class highly recommend."

Pros: Bright display, Realistic color, Lightweight, loaded with extra features

Cons: so so battery life

Great Long Zoom camera

PostedJuly 14, 2012

I would recommend this to a friend!

PostedJuly 14, 2012

"Here a short review of my latest gadget the Samsung WB850f Long zoom Camera:

Purchased at my local Fry's store on sale, I decided to test this camera out.
Looking at the competitors in the Long Zoom cameras, I thought that the Samsung definitely had lots of great features to add to the plate.
Such features as, better GPS (including key landmarks- works great by the way, finding its position within 30 seconds or so in directly view to the sky), great Wifi possibilities (now with synch to skydrive mode fixed, thanks for the regular updates Samsung!).
Not to mention that the quality of pics both outside and inside are just great!
Did I forget to also mention that the camera also has the best focal magnitude in its class , going from 23mm up to a zoom of 21x ! all optical - I usually never use any of the digital zoom as I can do better on any digital imaging program)

If you are looking for a megazoom compact camera and are able to get a price like I did, DO NOT HESITATE Grab one !"

Pros: Bright display, great optic range 23mm to x21 zoom

"This camera is just the perfect size for a 16 megapixel and 21X optical zoom unit. The pictures are sharp and colorful using the programmed mode alone. Once I become familiar with the aperture, shutter and manual features, the potential for truly spectacular pictures is unlimited. The WIFI feature is great, and I believe the GPS feature will be awesome once I learn how to uste it. I highly recommend this camera for all it's great features and compct size."

"I purchased a camera before a long trip. I took nearly 1000 photos. Very good photo quality (for such camera), good photography capabilities, but the all features of WI FI or GPS, or not enough good or in some cases not work at all. Start time of GPS from 10 minutes to "not working". Incorrect locations. WI FI can not work with a big images. In my opinion, a company must change (ajust) Firmware and urgent, or anyone who needs GPS features need keep away from this camera."

BUT here we are in the 21st century and Samsung decided not to support Mac OS for it's maps (necessary for GPS to function). the individual who made that decision should be fired at the demand of the stock holders like myself. I have reluctantly returned the camera to my retailer. I must say that tech support went out of their way to find solutions to the gaps left by my using Mac, so Kudos to them!"
