I use it at the local zoo, the zoom is great and it's compact and easy to carry around.

I've been looking for a long time to find a camera that has all the options I'm looking for. I do appreciate a camera with full auto modes yet being a semi-professional and owning a lot of full sized camera gear, I also wanted a camera allowing me to control things like shutter speed and apertures. The Samsung WB250F is the only camera I've found with the perfect combination of size, options, and performance that fits the needs of myself and anyone I'd hand it over to. Not to mention I can tilt the flash for bounce flash and utilize the wifi and other modern tech features to send photos off immediately to my laptop, cellphone, or email them to friends. I love the fact that there are actual control dials as well as a touch screen option. The size is excellent and while there is a trade off for a small camera in a man's hands, this one fits and works well. The WB250F has nice ergonomics, functions well in all modes, provides nice, clear, photos and videos, is easy to handle, and performs well in every aspect. I'm pleased!! This is my first camera that doesn't bear the name of Canon, Nikon, Minolta, Pentax, or Olympus. I've always bought from those major photo manufacturers. In my research, I could not find this combination of features and benefits from those manufacturers. I cannot be more pleased. Even the 'auto' modes work very well. This camera is designed for everyone. For the price, it easily covers any novice or advance photographers skill level. A wonderful combination of the long-time features we all hope for while offering the latest in technology at the same time. And don't forget the huge zoom range!

I bought this so I could take pics at concerts and it was really bad.The pics were all bad I didn't get to enjoy the concert because trying to get good pics. Hopeless. The worst camera I ever bought. Wasted money. I wanted to throw the camera. All my pics were blurry. It has WIFI and wouldnt let me post to my website, not happy.I wouldnt even give it away, would like my money back. Only thing Videos were OK. So if you want a good camera check the reviews first. I didnt :(

The Samsung WB250F Smart Digital Camera (Red) is a point-and-shoot with a 14.2MP Back Side Illuminated CMOS image sensor. It's equipped with a 3.0" TFT LCD screen with 460K pixels. The 18x optical zoom wide-angle lens lets you get closer to your subject while fitting more in the frame. It has an effective focal length of 4.0-72mm (35mm equivalent: 24-432mm). Capture Full HD 1080p video at 30fps. Benefit from full Manual mode with Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority for complete creative control.
The camera's CMOS sensor helps capture clear, detailed images in low light, even without a flash. For the times when you do need it, though, the camera features a built-in pop-up flash. Smart Mode gives you various special shooting modes from which to choose for different situations, helping to ensure the best shots in all conditions.
Smart Camera features include Wi-Fi, email and a dedicated Direct LINK hot key to help you quickly connect to Wi-Fi networks. Download the Samsung Smart Camera App to get Mobile Link, Remote Viewfinder and AutoShare, rather than downloading each individually. Instead of launching the apps one at a time on your smartphone, you can open all three simultaneously with the touch of a finger.
Mobile Link lets you select and send an image or album directly to an Android smartphone, iPhone or tablet; you need not even send the image as a text message or as an email. Make updates to the album on your phone and the changes will be saved to your camera, too.
The Remote Viewfinder function enables you to control your camera by using your smartphone as the viewfinder (available for select smartphones). You can preview images, adjust camera settings, zoom in and out and frame each scene. AutoShare allows you to simultaneously send every picture you take to your mobile phone via Wi-Fi. Just set it up once and the camera saves it as the default setting. AutoShare also GPS tags your photos with your smartphone.
MS Skydrive provides access to the cloud for file sharing and storage. Upload your photos and videos to social media sites like Facebook, Picasa and YouTube and enjoy easy wireless transfers of photos and videos to your PC or Mac with Auto Backup. Also enjoy AllShare Play, which lets you connect to all devices that support it. Wirelessly stream photos and videos from your camera to nearby devices to share with friends and family at once, or simply upload to web storage instantly for easy management.
