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.

To change the image selections, such as exposure compensation, continuous shooting etc., you press the Menu button and the available options popping up on the screen which allow you to watch the changes when you perform them. Home button allows you to switch between the different home screens which are: Wi-Fi, shooting, Album, and the most basic mode is the image of the home screen. The basic screen is characterized with the most commonly used shooting modes: Smart auto, program, smart movie, movie, scene, live panorama and it’s also able to enter the settings.

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.
