From the Manufacturer
Take crystal-clear photos and stunning video with the WB250F Smart Camera from Samsung. With features such as a 14.2-megapixel backside-illuminated sensor and an 18x zoom lens, the WB250F gives you the creative freedom to take great photos even in low-light situations. And with built-in Wi-Fi, you can easily and quickly share your best shots.
The 14.2-megapixel BSI sensor is optimal for low-light performance. View larger.
A brilliant 3-inch touch display features easy navigation. View larger.
14.2-Megapixel Backside-Illuminated CMOS Sensor
The WB250F is equipped with a 14.2-megapixel backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor that gathers more light than conventional sensors. This allows you to take properly exposed images in low-light situations. With the Low Light Shot feature, the camera will automatically merge three continuous shots into one clear photo.
Sharp 18x Zoom Lens Provides Plenty of Range
The built-in lens has an 18x zoom range so you can easily frame the exact shot you want and get in close to the action when necessary. The lens starts at a wide 35mm-equivalent focal length of 24mm and zooms all the way to 432mm. With such a large zoom range, you'll have no problem getting everyone into the photo or zooming in on something far away.
Compose Shots on a 3-inch Hybrid Touch Display
On the back of the camera is a brilliant, 3-inch display that lets you compose and review your photos comfortably and accurately. The display has a hybrid user interface that lets you use either the five-way button for menu navigation if you prefer traditional controls or your fingers if you prefer touch controls. Either way, the intuitive navigation makes setting controls and sharing images a snap.
Full HD Video Recording
The WB250F captures lifelike video at 1,080p Full HD resolution. The camera shoots video in the H.264 format, which allows you to record for longer than cameras using MJPEG video.
Wi-Fi Connectivity for Easy Sharing and Facebook Upload
Thanks to built-in Wi-Fi, transferring your images and sharing them no longer requires memory cards or cables. You won't have to worry about running out of space, either.
With the dedicated Direct Link hot key, you can quickly connect to Wi-Fi networks. Once connected, you can save photos and videos directly to a computer or cloud service as you shoot. Print photos wirelessly or share them with your friends instantly by uploading them straight to Facebook or YouTube. With dual band Wi-Fi support, you'll have faster and more stable connections to the wireless networks around you.
Connect to Your Smartphone for More Features
The WB250F works with Samsung's Smart Camera App (for iPhone and Android), which lets you instantly pair your camera with your smartphone and gives you features such as AutoShare and Remote ViewFinder.
When AutoShare is activated, all the pictures you take on your camera are automatically sent to your smartphone. Remote ViewFinder turns your phone into a viewfinder and lets you preview images, adjust camera settings, frame the scene, and tag the shot location from up to 30 feet away. When you need to take a group shot with yourself in it, Remote ViewFinder makes it easy.
Cloud Service Backup with Microsoft SkyDrive
Never worry about losing your photos, even if your camera is lost or stolen. If your camera is connected to Wi-Fi, the WB250F will automatically copy the images you take to a Microsoft SkyDrive account. This feature not only automatically backs up all your photos, but also lets you easily make more room on your memory card by deleting shots without fear you'll lose them.
Smart Auto 2.0 for Sharp Shots Every Time
The Smart Auto 2.0 feature automatically analyzes the current shooting environment and chooses the right mode to give you the best possible picture. And Smart Face Recognition remembers the faces of up to 20 of your friends and family and automatically focuses on them first, so your important subjects are always clear.
Product Dimensions and Weight
The WB250F measures 2.43 by 4.18 by 0.85 inches (H x W x D) and weighs 0.41 pounds.

The battery life also has exceeded my expectations. I've had this camera for over a month now, and I've only had to charge it once so far. I've taken 374 pictures, plus a few short videos, and one 20 minute long 1080HD video at a show we went to. The 20 minute video took the battery down from 3 bars to 2 bars, but that's it! I bought a replacement battery and a separate charger just in case, because I was used to AA batteries that I could easily swap. This is my first rechargeable battery camera, so I didn't know what to expect. I will never EVER go back to double A's. I could only get my old camera (kodak easyshare) to take about a minute and a half long video before it would automatically shut off and tell me the battery was dead, so this was a very welcome change.
I'm also happy with the speed of this camera. My old camera would take about 10 seconds to turn on and load before it was ready to take a picture. This thing is ready in about 2.
The menu's are easy to follow, and the hybrid touch screen is pretty cool. The video has it's own separate record button, which is nice, and you can take pictures at the same time as video, which is WAY better than having to decide whether you want a video of your kid blowing out their candles OR a picture. You can do both with this camera.
I love that it uses a standard USB charging cable, because I already have car and wall chargers for USB cables (for my ipod), which is convenient. I also love that it uses a full size SD card instead of micro. Micro's get lost too easily, in my opinion.
I haven't used the wi-fi feature yet, so I won't comment on that.
The ONLY thing that sucks about this camera (for me) is that it's slightly longer than my last camera, so it doesn't fit into my designated camera pocket in my purse. But seriously, who cares? I LOVE this camera.
It's a light weight camera suitable for a novice photographer, though I think it would even frustrate a novice. The other gizmos and gadgets are nice to have but I think they should have concentrated on making a camera that takes good pictures rather than all the techno widgets like the ability to send your pictures directly to Facebook or anywhere else online.
The battery life is pretty good. I would not buy this camera again.
Top reviews from other countries
I bought this camera after comparing the sample images of similarly priced(I got it for Rs 11,050) *popular brands* from the internet. I am using it for a week, it gives decent pictures and videos. I am really happy with that. It is worth more than every rupee spend on it. I like its good zoom with not much reduction in picture quality, exceptionally good VR, its size, its weight, its looks etc. Some of its reviews in the internet says there is no zoom motor sound if you zoom while a video recording is going on. That is not true, at least with the piece I got, but, its not annoying and also not unusual or something that one should expect from cameras like this.
It becomes a bit hot at times, especially while shooting HD videos. With wifi, It takes a few seconds to save pictures directly to your phone (My phone is ASUS X008DA, old, may be the situation is different with a different model)… while wifi saving to the phone is going on (which takes a few seconds), it cannot be used to take another shot. wifi mode drains the battery quickly and the camera becomes hot. However, I don’t care about such useless features. They give a free cover, and a memory card. The cover is original Samsung, but I don’t like the print on it. In short, this camera is very good for taking pics for this price. If you get this camera for more or less the same price I got, do not think twice.
