Samsung’s most powerful compact SMART camera with amazing 21x optical zoom – the WB850F

Introducing the third instalment of the Samsung’s innovative SMART Camera range – the WB850F. This is the top of the range in Samsung’s SMART cameras combining the wireless networking and sharing, with unique features such as GPS^ and Digital Compass with Mapview^.

It also delivers an extremely powerful optical combination for a compact camera including 21x optical zoom, 23mm wide angle lens and Dual Image Stablisation in a quality Schneider Kreueznach Lens. The optical combination makes the Samsung WB850F a truly versatile performer. The 23mm wide angle will take in a massive field of view to take your landscape photos to a new level (compared to the previous Samsung WB750 24mm wide/18x zoom) but it can also get in close (if you can’t) to get those pin-sharp close-ups.

The Samsung WB850F joins its stablemates in the Smart Camera range including the WB150F and DV300F providing a wide range of options aiming to meet the photography needs of shoot and share photographers who crave crisp photos at a quality level.
