Some appearing red-eye can be seen in the portraits with flash, though the colors are good. Colors and exposure are pretty good, with fair color reproduction.

Lens quality

Testing images

Testing images

Images are soft at the corners, though the details are generally good in the rest of the images, as well as when zooming in. it’s best to avoid digital zoom, unless you have a plan to share on webs such as Facebook, where images will be resized. Some purple borders are visible, though this is most noticeable in high contrast zone, and not a too big problem in most of the images. The dynamic range is good, and can be expanded by using back light shooting modes.

ISO image noise level

ISO testing images

Image noise is low at ISO80 and ISO100. Noise increases at ISO 200, with some los details. Noise once again increases at ISO400 with more lost details. Images become soft at ISO800, though the result seems to be acceptable. Noise peaks at ISO3200, with lots of lost details and it’s best to avoid this setting, though ISO1600 may be the most meaningful result, especially in caase of size reduction.

White balance effect

White balance testing images

Auto white balance (AWB) works well under tungsten light with a little warm result, and tungsten preset produces a more neuter result. AWB performs well under fluorescent light, with the fluorescent preset offers light-colored details, so it’s best to set AWB at balance.

Panoramic mode

Panoramic mode allows you to pan the camera from one place to another place while pressing the shutter button down. The camera automatically links the images together when you’re shooting. Resolution is low, and details are a little poor, so it’s best for them to be used for sharing on the web.

Conclusion

Samsung WB30F provides excellent quality that is worth the money spending for a compact camera with 10x optical zoom lens, 3 inch screen and built-in Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi sharing on this camera is also as easy as the way it allows you to share images on public Wi-Fi, upload directly onto Facebook or other social pages. The rivals are in this market with a 10x optical zoom, and integrated on the inside with available Wi-Fi, however these trends usually comes with more expenses, and Wi-Fi sharing is not always as easy as on Samsung. While image quality is not perfect, it’s generally good, and can create excellent quality to share the webs such as Facebook, with good colors and exposure. Meanwhile we may be fond of watching a higher res screen and the better panoramic images, as well as full HD, to those who’re looking for a basic camera, at an amazing price, Samsung WB30F is essential for consideration.
