At A Glance

The feature-loaded, 21X-zoom Samsung WB850F is the best Wi-Fi camera we've reviewed, but a few usability hangups keep it from a higher ranking.

Manufacturer’s Description

The Samsung WB850F SMART Long Zoom Digital Camera (Black) is designed with more than image capture in mind. The WB850F is a WiFi enabled "travel zoom" camera that gives you the ability to send photos straight from the device. Users can email photos or share them on social networks from any WiFi hotspot. The WB850F also boasts free storage space on Samsung's AllShare Play and Microsoft Sky Drive, making user's photos accessible anywhere. Additionally, the camera uses GPS features and Live Landmark for downloading maps and finding information about local points of interest. The camera's Digital Compass also gives users their location and tells them how far they are from other locations.
