Mini review of the Samsung EX2F compact camera

If the WB2200F just looks serious, the EX2F is very serious in its guts. Thanks to the lens with almost unique specifications only Panasonic Lumix DMC-LX7 has another one this camera became an entrance ticket for Samsung into the segment of senior compact cameras. Even mirrorless cameras donā€™t have many lenses with a maximum aperture of f/1.4.

Samsung EX2F compact camera

12.4 Megapixel 24-80mm 3.3x 3ā€³ $400

Enlargement options of EX2F are not big, but telephoto photographer can capture big portraits with the equivalent of 80 mm. At full zoom the aperture is shut down to f/2,7, which, incidentally, allows effectively enough to separate the object from the background by reducing the DOF ā€“ of course, as far as possible to the standards of large compacts, but still a small sensor format 1/1,7 inch.

The sensor itself is a 12MP backlit CMOS, paired with the signal amplifier in the ADC gives the opportunity to use sensitivity up to 6400 ISO or up to 12,800 in the expand mode . All of this makes this camera more than adequate in low light conditions.

Two wheels, one on the grip and one on the back, allow you to manipulate different settings during shooting. Unfortunately, the idea of using the ring on the lens to control settings didnā€™t occur to the developers. Beneath the knurled aluminum ring is a lens mount for attaching optical attachments.

The camera is equipped with different modes of continuous and predictive shooting. Thereā€™s even a selector switch on top for choosing between the two. At the same time the device doesnā€™t differ special speed, dispose rather to thoughtful and unhurried shooting.

The interface of the device has very good finds. These include a Quick Access shooting screen, a 2-axis white balance adjustment available immediately by selecting a lighting type preset, and access to flash power correction. Many of these solutions are borrowed from the ā€œsystemā€ NX series compacts.

The AMOLED display is rotary, but not touch-sensitive, so itā€™s not easy to navigate the many filters and retouching tools provided in the deviceā€™s menu. For example, the Split Shot mode that allows you to combine three pictures in one image would be much more useful if the merged areas could be traced with a finger. However, for a serious handheld camera this is probably not so important. But the presence of RAW format support and a built-in converter is really useful.

One thing the EX2F really packs a punch with its wireless functionality. Sending a picture to an online gallery or a social networking site even VKontakte is supported is not the slightest bit difficult. The main thing is to have Wi-Fi access or a smartphone at hand.

    The Samsung EX2F compact camera is a great option for photography enthusiasts. Its 12.4-megapixel sensor and f/1.4 lens provide excellent image quality even in low-light conditions. The compact size makes it easy to carry around, while the built-in Wi-Fi allows for easy sharing and transfer of photos. The flip-out screen is convenient for taking selfies or shooting from different angles. However, Iā€™m curious about the battery life. Can anyone share their experience with the EX2Fā€™s battery longevity during prolonged use?

      I have the Samsung EX2F and in my experience, the battery life is decent but not exceptional. While it typically lasts for a full day of shooting with moderate use, I have found that it can drain quickly when shooting in continuous mode or using features like Wi-Fi heavily. I would recommend carrying an extra battery or a portable charger for longer shooting sessions to ensure you donā€™t run out of power. Overall, the EX2F is a great camera with impressive features, but keeping an eye on the battery life is essential for uninterrupted shooting.
