Samsung EX2F
A super-fast f/1.4 lens, Raw capture and full manual control distinguish the Samsung EX2F.
Fast maximum aperture of f/1.4 ; 3in vari-angle AMOLED screen ; Raw capture ; Good ISO performance
Some poor button placement ; Wi-Fi functionality demolishes battery life

Samsung EX2F
It's all go in the high-end compact camera market, and Samsung's EX2F lays out a potential secret weapon that no similar competitor can offer: Wi-Fi. Samsung's current fascination with Wi-Fi will please some and leave others shrugging their shoulders....
f/1.4-2.7 maximum aperture, vari-angle LCD screen, raw file capture, good quality images
Inconsistent autofocus particularly with close-up focus, Wi-Fi kills battery life, high ISO image quality, limited zoom range, body finish chips easily
Samsung’s current fascination with Wi-Fi will please some and leave others shrugging their shoulders. As it stands the EX2F’s Wi-Fi feature is okay, it’s certainly something that similar competitors don’t offer, but it does stick a knife in the battery...

Samsung EX2F review
It's also worth noting that for a price in between the Samsung and the Sony, one could bag an interchangeable lens Nikon J2, almost a match in body size and with kit zoom of similar reach. Still, Wi-Fi connectivity alongside manual options is the draw...
The only downside is, despite including bags of detail from centre to corner of frame, pictures can look better on the camera’s back than your own desktop.

Samsung EXF2 : Samsung EX2F Digital Compact Smart Camera
This is new camera from Samsung. It's a digital offering verging on what some call a ‘Bridge' unit. This is a full HD video unit with still images up to 12.4MP. It can take 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1. It has a flip out viewfinder like a lot of camcorders.
The Samsung EX2F 'Smart' camera measures 12x6x4.5cm, the last figure the width can increase by 2.5cm when fully zoomed in. The weight of the unit is 309grams. Looking the rear of the unit the left side has only a neck strap anchor point, the other...

Samsung EX2F review
Samsung's top-end pocket compact is aimed at those who want better pictures than the average snapper, but not interchangeable lenses
Bright lens for DSLR-style shallow depth of field effects and low light shooting, tilt and swivel back screen, built-to-last metal construction
Costs almost as much as a starter DSLR or compact system camera, which arguably would offer even more creative scope in the long run despite the extra bulk
But, unlike say the Sony RX100, pictures from this Samsung resemble those from the very good snapshot camera that it is, rather than cheating users into thinking they’ve just shot something with a digital SLR.

SAMSUNG EX2F REVIEW
A new CMOS sensor and fast f/1.4 lens should ensure that the Wi-Fi-enabled, enthusiast-level Samsung EX2F compact is a consummate low-light performer. Read the Samsung EX2F review...
Like the Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7, the Samsung EX2F is a solid camera without being spectacular. It builds well on its predecessor and is an attractive proposition in many ways, such as its good build quality, fast and sharp lens, and variety of...
