Manual of product WB151
Editorial note
The Samsung WB151 is a compact camera that stands out for its superior image quality thanks to its 14.2 MP CCD sensor, allowing for precise details and vibrant colors. Its powerful 18x optical zoom is a major asset, offering the ability to photograph distant subjects without compromising quality. Additionally, the built-in image stabilizer ensures sharp photos and videos, even in motion, making the shooting experience smooth and enjoyable. However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The maximum video quality of 1280 x 720 pixels may seem insufficient for those seeking Full HD resolution or higher, which limits the possibilities for creating high-quality video content. Manual focus, while precise, can also be problematic for users wanting quick autofocus, especially during dynamic shots. Furthermore, the internal memory of only 18 MB is very limited, requiring the use of an external memory card, which can be cumbersome. Finally, the maximum ISO sensitivity of 400 and the flash recharge time of 4 seconds may disappoint users looking for optimal responsiveness. Overall, the user experience is positive, with a score of 78, but the performance, while solid, receives a score of 70, mainly due to video limitations. The nickel-metal hybrid battery technology ensures good durability (score of 85), and the modern, lightweight design is an asset for portability (score of 80). The features, with a score of 75, are interesting, but the limited internal memory is a weak point. In terms of value for money, the score of 72 reflects a good balance, although some limitations may disappoint. Finally, while the focus flexibility is appreciated (score of 70), users seeking quick autofocus may be frustrated.Score details
