Samsung WB30F creates a good feeling with
the plastic body, and the gripping position placing on the front. The rear has
a small structured area for your thumb, as well as a looking-good 3inch screen,
though its res is only 230k dot. The body is frail, with a bulged lens making
the camera bulkier, though the camera is still easy when putting into your
pocket. There’re some buttons on the back which allows fast access to the
normal settings such as flash, macro, and timer, as well as a dedicated Wi-Fi sharing
button.

battery
The main attractions when using Wi-Fi is
the ability to upload directly onto Facebook and connect to a smartphone to
transfer images and use as a hand-set viewfinder. Everything is simple just
with your Wi-Fi connecting process and following the instruction on the screen.
Working with the smartphones, you also need to download the app on the devices.
Battery life rating is not provided by Samsung, though we may have a fair
number of images without having to recharge the battery.
