Samsung EX2F camera delivers professional performance

The Samsung EX2F is the company’s latest digital camera and funnily enough is successor to the EX1. Among its new features is an added Wi-Fi capability for sharing photos on the web directly from the camera and a wider f/1.8 aperture for faster shutter speeds and better performance in low-light conditions. It’s one of the largest aperture you’ll find on any compact camera.

The Samsung EX2F has to be one of the best compact digital cameras for those that love to take photos but are happy to put off buying a fully-fledged digital SLR camera.

Sim deal or no deal for Nokia’s whopping 4-megapixel cameraphone

The Samsung EX2F boasts Wi-Fi to get those snaps uploaded online to your favourite social networks. The sensor is a 12-megapixel CMOS sensor that can shoot in raw format or JPEG. If you want to shoot movies in full high definition (1080p) at 30 frames-per-second, the EX2F will do that too.

Around the back you get a 3-inch AMOLED display and an uncomplicated set of controls, and dual dial controls on top. The EX2F almost doesn’t feel like a traditional compact camera, offering more control than conventional compacts. And that’s good news for those looking to upgrade in the world of digital compact cameras.

For those wanting a camera with digital SLR-like controls and features, the Samsung EX2F will be available from mid-August for around £429 (inc. VAT).

Samsung also recently launched its new Samsung WB100 – so if the above isn’t for you, you may want to check out the WB100 as one step above if you’re a little more SLR-inclined. Check it out at the link below.

If this was one of the smart cameras yes. Have you seen what america has done to samsung. Its like the 30s except this time as well as making their one's cheaper thay ban foreign products on so-called claims. They even banned the nexus saying it looked like the iphone. It's like banning an iron cause it looks like another company's kettle. And then the galaxy tab because samsung supposedly stole the design. I mean come on how crap is the difference between the looks of tablets are logos, thickness and colour. They all look the same I mean how stupid does the jury have to be to not realise all tablets look the same. The worst thing is that it was banned without trial (to give you a taste of what america will become). Without apple claiming "forgery" with the nexus. Just government speculation. No evidence or proof.

I mean how crap is their excuse. In my first one it didn't make sense at one point because I finished the sentence.
