While this is fine, the initial response could be quicker.

When shooting video, the zoom takes more than twice as long to move through the same range, no doubt to minimize the already fairly quiet operational buzz. While, once again, it's not the quickest response ever, this was still sufficiently responsive to enable us to quickly frame up the shot we saw in our mind's eye. The Samsung WB350F's shutter release button is encircled by a lever for operating the 21x optical zoom with a nudge from the forefinger the Samsung's Schneider Kreuznach lens mechanics take four seconds to propel the user from maximum wideangle to extreme telephoto.

Do so and in default single shot mode a full resolution, Super Fine (top) quality image is committed to a micro SD card in one to two seconds, which is impressive.

Not DSLR quick then, but roughly what we'd expect from a point-and-shoot camera.Ī half squeeze of the large shutter release button and a central highlighted AF point appears in green along with the customary confirmation 'bleep' that the user is free to go ahead and take the shot. This combined process takes roughly 2-3 seconds. Give this a fingernail press and the lens extends from within its body housing to maximum wideangle setting, while the rear screen blinks into life a moment later. Just above this is the mono microphone and a small inset power button. Next is the Direct Link button, which can be configured to quickly access one of the six different Wi-fi modes. Simply press the spring-loaded contraption back down to deactivate. Give this a nudge with a fingertip however and the flash pops up with a satisfyingly solid metallic clunk.

Looking down on the WB350F's top plate with its backplate facing us, the aforementioned pop-up flash is located at the far left of the top-plate, with a manual switch for its activation provided alongside, so the flash won't automatically fire unless you have raised it first. This wait might not be more than a few seconds, but it can take three squeezes of the shutter release before it will fire off a shot in flash mode. If we've one gripe though it does seem to take an age to charge from cold before it can be fired. This uncluttered presentation is due, in part, to the integral flash being located on o the top plate where it is now - neatly - of the pop-up variety.

Top right of the lens is a small porthole shaped window housing the AF assist lamp/self timer lamp, but other than that the WB350F's faceplate is unassuming. As you'd expect from a camera in its class, from the front the WB350F's lens dominates, the optical housing encouraging a tighter grip should you want to use your left hand to encircle the lens and steady the camera. With what feels like a higher proportion of metal in the build than plastic, the WB350F's exterior looks the part too, falling somewhere between entry-level snapper and premium snapshot, even if the design execution is fairly conventional. Essentially they're hedging their bets by providing two ways of controlling the camera - either via the screen with a fingertip, or using the more conventional 5-way navigation pad. On a more positive note, the WB350F does have a touchscreen, part of what Samsung have called the Hybrid Touch User Interface. With "only" 460K dots, it has less resolution than the WB850F and doesn't have such deep blacks or so much contrast.

A shooting mode dial on the top plate reveals a combined array of not just 'smart auto' settings but manual ones too, the presence of the dial proving a very useful shortcut to most of the key settings.Īt the back of the WB350F, in the expected absence of any optical viewfinder, stills and video are composed with the aid of a 3-inch TFT LCD screen, rather than the AMOLED screen on the range-topping WB850F model. There's no handgrip on the front, just a subtly textured faux-leather surface, which makes it trickier to obtain sharp shots towards the telephoto end of its zoom. The Samsung WB350F measures a pocket-sized 113.6 x 65.1 x 25mm and weighs a solid feeling but manageable 216g without the battery and memory card fitted. The Samsung WB350F is available in White, Black, Brown, Red and Blue priced at £249.99 / $299.99. The WB350F also offers a 21x optical zoom with a 23mm wide-angle setting and optical image stabilisation, 16.3 Megapixel 1/2.3-inch BSI CMOS sensor, 3-inch TFT touchscreen LCD, Full HD video recording, full manual controls, and a range of special effects. The Samsung WB350F is a 16 megapixel travel-zoom compact camera featuring built-in Wi-fi and NFC connectivity.
