Editorial note

The Samsung WB850F camera stands out for its exceptional image quality, thanks to its 16.8 MP CMOS sensor and 21x optical zoom, allowing for precise detail capture even from a distance. Additionally, it offers a multitude of shooting modes, such as night mode and panorama mode, as well as built-in Wi-Fi connectivity, making it easy to instantly share your photos on social media. These features make this device a wise choice for photography enthusiasts. However, some aspects deserve to be highlighted. Manual focus can pose difficulties for novice users, sometimes resulting in blurry photos. Furthermore, the lack of HDMI connectivity limits sharing and viewing options on external screens. There is no internal memory, requiring the use of external memory cards for storage, and although the nickel-metal hybrid (NiMH) battery technology ensures good autonomy, the flash recharge time may be insufficient for consecutive shots. In terms of design, the device is compact and modern, but its dimensions may not suit all users, particularly those seeking ultra-portability. Despite these drawbacks, the value for money remains good considering the features and image quality offered. In summary, the Samsung WB850F is an excellent choice for those looking for a compact camera that delivers good performance, provided they are aware of its limitations.
