Samsung WB250F Smart Camera Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- The point and shoot camera just got a whole lot better. The WB250F has a super long 18x optical zoom and packs WiFi connectivity so sharing your images is just too easy. Oh and all at a really low price. Kinda neat!
Thanks for the review! I love that feature where you control the camera with your phone, how cool!
Nice quick review with all the information I need. Good pace delivery. Photos behind really helps instead of a blank wall. Thanks a milllion!
Thanks for watching Larry
Keep it up with the easy style yet clear diction. I hv subscribed to ur channel. If ever u r in Singapore, look me up. Dr Larry.
Thanks for the feedback mate. There are just so many features on this camera I would have needed a lot more time to cover them all. Thanks again!
That was the best review I have ever heard on RUclips. Thanks
Thanks James :)
hi, what app did you use to connect the camera to iPhone?
About to get this one ship out to me!!
You are so fun to listen to. Thanks for the awesome review, most helpful one I've seen so far. Keep it up!
Great review! Very thorough and kept my interest throughout video.....perfect pace for review...you made up my mind!
I just purchased this camera after watching this and another video. Thumbs up!
Thanks for the review! Glad I bought the camera now, I should've seen the review first. But with your review, I'm glad I got it.
just bought this Camera to replace a Sony cyber shot. i love Samsung products. great review
U sold me. I was looking for a camera to get my niece and I'm sure she'll enjoy this
I BOUGHT THIS CAMERA FOR MY WIFE FOR MOTHERS DAY AFTER WATCHING THE REVIEWS. SHE HAS OUR BIG PROFESSIONAL CAERA BUT HAS WANTED ONE FOR HER PURSE. THIS LOOKS LERFECT FOR THOSE OCCASSIONS. THANKS FOR THE HONEST REVIEW. SORRY FOR THE CAPS..DIDN'T REALIZE THEY WERE ON.
Fantastic review as usual, seems like an interesting little point and shoot!
Thanks for the review. I'm going to pick one up tonight. Sounds very handy and feature rich on top of being a good camera.
How are you finding the camera?
Good. I even convinced a friend of mine to get one and so far he's satisfied with it too. Optical Zoom is really handy as well as sending photos from the camera directly to my phone.
I am very happy that it takes video as it takes still shots. I was a little worried when all i found, info wise, was picture taking experiences... :D
No worries Patrick, it really is the perfect little portable shooter. Does a sweet job.
The issue with the Galaxy camera running android is that to turn it on from scratch requires a few minutes wait for android to boot up, like on a phone and then if you leave it in standby you will likely get just over a day battery life whereas this camera takes a second to turn on at any time so it lasts a heck of a lot longer.
The best review for WB250F .. Thank you
I have this camera and didn't even know about most of the things explained here, great job and thanks! I need a hard copy of the instruction manual but cannot find one except to download 160 pages. : (
Been struggling picking a compact camera... This vid's sealed it for me! It's so problematic that concerts don't let you bring DSLRs in... This is ideal!
This would be good due to the long zoom but for a concert I would like to suggest a GoPro, small and good quality just without the zoom...
Geoff Quattromani I would, because I also need one for my cycling, but they're just way out of my price range at the moment as I'd want the Hero 3 and even the cheapest edition is 1.5x this camera. Really, I just wanted a point-and-shoot to throw in my bag for when a DSLR is too cumbersome - hopefully I won't regret buying this for that purpose!
there is no manual focus ring like on an SLR however there is a macro mode to enable really close up shots.
Nice review.This looks like a really good camera I dont know why there are few reviews of it on youtube. Does it autofocus during video?
great review, i just purchased this camera and i love it so far. wish i could finally figure out everything it's capable of.
Great to hear Adam, enjoy!
Bought this today after this review. Its not the best camera out there However for point and shoot options and connectivity its an awesome purchase. Thanks man
I just bought it, Im just waiting for it, and I cant wait...
You helped me to take the decision. Now, I am enjoying it`s awesome features. Thank you Again :D
I've seen that it can adjust the aperture and shutter speed, but can it manually adjust the FOCUS? I was looking forward for taking some nice macro shots with this camera.
Thanks also would this camera be good for lightweight hiking trips?
You just convinced me bro! Good job! I'm getting this next week! Can't wait!!!
Excellent news Daniel, let me know how you find it!
Thank you for this video. It's on sale for $179 at best buy so now I'm going to grab it!
There is also a more customisable manual mode yes, where you can change aperture, exposure etc.
Thx for the review, I think this video sold the camera to me!
I like the background action while you are talking in the forefront, I thought you did really well explaining and demonstrating all the features in a relatively quick review.
***** thank you :)
i found this in my cabinet and it's still working, can i use this as a webcam?
Great review. Purchased camera and as it turns out. Great camera.
Thank you, and yeah it's pretty amazing for what is normally a basic compact camera!
Thanks Vicky, and yes Sydney is beautiful! You must see it for yourself!
You cant share straight to those applications right now, only Picassa, Facebook etc for now. There may be more options in future updates.
Hi mate, thanks for your comment. You can send images straight from the camera to the iPad, you could also use the iPad to control the camera!
Hi Geoff,
Great Review, cong.
I want to buy this camera but I saw Samsung Nx1000 model and it's menu was great. I liked it and want to know that Wb250F's menu same with Nx1000?
Best Regards.
I'm getting it next month..thankyou so much for all your information, it's really helps..thankyou💎
Can you post links to the photos, to be honest, the photos displayed in the video looks very similar to quality produced by my S4.
Hi what can you say about the battery? You say in the video that you took alot of pictures and filmed alot, so often do i have to charge the battery. Its very important for me to have a good battery so i dont need to charge it all the time. Thanks from sweden
FINALLY a review thats in ENLISH
Thanks for watching, it does autofocus during video, which is important when it has such a long zoom!
Thanks for the review. I'm wondering if there's night light for recording videos? TIA.
So no negatives? All pros ? I would like some photos in low light(no1 ever takes any low light photos when reviewing cameras,which sucks)
great review very professional easy to understand really like they way you gave camera specification yet not doing it like a robot or overflowing with nonsense information also was nice to see the pictures behind you while also seeing you talking to us definitely going to get this camera one question though how is video recording on this? does it have the typical Samsung disadvantage where while you zoom in it cut's off the mic? and how also the quality of the recording also does it use the full 18x zoom while in video mode and is it stable when recording or can you notice hand shaking?
How long can I take video before the camera runs out. For instance, can I shoot a video of a concert that's, say, an hour and half without the battery dying on me?
We can used and record controlling it on your phone right? Looking for full hd camera for videos thanks
Will its battery life last long enough evwn when using wifi transfers and stuff? Thanks! Great review btw. :)
I am looking at this camera but I also want an option to shoot in black and white. will this do that for me?
Good for you Eddy! What are your thoughts on it so far?
Is there any way to turn off the red auto focus light that flashes when taking pictures? And when I move even just a little the picture comes out blurry is there any way to fix that? Sorry I just got this camera and trying to figure out how to use it
Is there any possibility to connect the camera with wifi enabled android smart phones with out using the apps like mobilelink, smart camera app etc? Please tell me if my device doesn't support those apps what will be the option to send files wirelessly?
It was fine for me and I havent heard any other complaints yet. IF there is a problem with the Wifi then you could simply return the product.
Can the camera be controlled be a non samsung smart phone? ie iphone?
Hi Muzaffer, the NX1000 is a little more high-end than the WB250F so the menu wont be identical but very similar. Some features may not be exact and as such their menu system will be a little different.
I purchased this camera recently and I like it, but I am having issues catching images when they are in motion. For example, I wanted to take pictures of people dancing at a class reunion and all the picture came out fuzzy. My old Kodak camera had a motion button on the dial and I caught some amazing photo's. Any idea's on what settings I need to catch picture's of my subject in motion?
Awesome review!
Thanks for your comment mate :)
I found the camera to be intuitive enough that I didnt need an instruction manual. It's a very simple camera :)
Nice review man thanks that really helps,,, now how u make that background can u teach me how to do it?
Hi Bijoy, the flash is pretty bright, enough to light up a small room. There are modes on the camera for low light and night mode also. Hope this helps :)
Just got this for Christmas and I'm so excited.... I'm a picture taking crazy person... my question is how hard is it to set up with wifi?
Super simple, the on screen instructions are pretty helpful.
I'm not sure about the focus light, I think that is a standard feature. If you are getting a lot of blur in your shots it could just be the mode. I left it mostly in full auto but if you are stil lgetting blur then maybe try the shot in sports mode as that takes a quicker shot which is less likely to blur.
This has a microphone for the 1080p video mode right?
What about manual mode? Can you edit settings yourself? Or are you 'limited' (between brackts, because it's hardly limitation with so many options) to the auto-modes?
got mine now... and i love it..tnx for the info...
how do you afford one of these....really want one of these
Nice review! Very simple but informative!
Cheers Ron :)
Can you download other apps onto the camera e.g. instagram, whatsapp
is it possible to take shots without a card as after one shot it tells me memory full
Great to hear it, have a great weekend :)
Hey I got the camera and its in ppt mode how do I fix it?
I am thinking of buying one but I read few reviews they say that connecting wifi is problum
how are the pictures taken during the night time?
I seriously want to buy it! Such a great review! Sydney is so beautiful!
You're a good reviewer! Thanks!
Does it have autofocus while recording?
It would be ok but why not a GoPro or Sony Action Cam?
When making a video if you move something close to the lens and don't use the zoom, will it still autofocus?
yes sir.
Geoff Quattromani I've just received the camera today and for some reason I can't get it to do this. It only autofocuses when moving something close or further away from the lens when I'm not recording a video. When I'm recording a video the only way I can get it to autofocus is to use the zoom, this is fine if I'm recording with the camera in my hand, but it the camera is on a tripod and I'm using both my hands to show something then it's pretty impractical.
When it's recording a video do you know how to get it to autofocus when moving something close to the lens without me having to use zoom? I've had a look in the manual and I can't find anything on this.
I have the same problem bro the only way I can get it to focus is to push the zoom a small bit and that just triggers it's autofocus but it doesn't always works and is really annoying
I just ordered mine the other day and have a concert coming up. Ate my pictures and videos gonna be decent or just horrible!?
use the zoom properly and you'll get good shots, light is your friend though so wait for those moments when the band is lit well and CLICK!
Hi Sweden, thanks so much for IKEA. Love that place. So anyway. The battery on this camera is pretty sweet, I really did take hundreds of photos with video without needing to recharge. I owe it to the fact that this camera doesnt run Android, it just runs it's own OS which is just simple and light on battery drain.
I had a look at the long list of camera modes and not one of them is HDR. In saying that though, I'm not sure HDR is something people would need in a decent camera like this. For smartphones I understand but not really something you'll need I think.
Well the first question is, why wouldn't you just install the app? But if for some reason you cant then you can connect the camera to wifi and send the pictures to Facebook, picasa etc straight from the camera to those sites without the need for the phone to exist.
love your review. thanks!
I got my camera it was a suprise early bday pressie lol trying to get use to the functions... quite figitive!
I saw you recording footage of a concert, like to know how it handles loud live shows? well or does it distort? thanks.
it isnt too bad but if you are next to a speaker then you'll need to expect some issues.
What's the app called you can get for your phone?
Hey how do yo get the battery out?
Pretty good, you can see the dark shots I took indoors in this video.
and thank you for watching
It should have an effect to shoot in just b&w, if not it takes two seconds to do that on the computer.
What's up with the panoramic mode, like its a movie. Ur thoughts
Not sure, when I took panoramas they came out fine
Hi Juan, it's called green screen, have a search on RUclips and you'll find plenty of tutorial videos. I use a green background and Adobe Premiere CC to do the editing.
Can you go on Facebook Live with this?
this camera over the galaxy? just because has android? if you take he same amount of pictures and videos which would run out of power first?
Ok, but I'd you store photos in the cell itself, or using the cell as a remote control of the camera. Thank you for the response
Ah ok, any interaction via the phone and the camera itself like controlling or sending photos vice versa then no, it wont impact your data plan or anything. that is straight Wi-Di.
Ok, Thank you. The reason is that I travel alot. And my carrier gives me Internet in many countries without charge but cannot use it as a hot spot out side of the states.
Gerardo Quintero ok that's fine, what you would do then is send the photos from the camera to the phone and share from the phone. That way you arent hotspotting the phone. If you hotspot the phone then you could share direct from the camera to the internet. So you have a few ways to take those pics from the camera to facebook, for example.
Yes
Gerardo Quintero if you get any other questions let me know :)
