About the Samsung WB250F
Introduced in January 2013, the Samsung WB250F is a travel-oriented compact pairing a 1/2.3-inch BSI-CMOS sensor of 14 megapixels with an 18x optical zoom. The lens covers 24-432 mm in 35mm-equivalent terms at F3.2-5.8, giving a wide start for scenery and enough reach for distant details.
The body is 106 x 62 x 22 mm and weighs 226 g, so it carries more heft than a pocket snapshooter but stays manageable on a trip. The 3-inch monitor handles composition and review, and files are recorded to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards. A back-illuminated sensor is generally chosen to help in lower light, though that benefit should be weighed realistically at the long end of the zoom. For holiday use where one lens must cover many scenes, the focal span is the main attraction.
Buying one used
Check that the battery holds a charge, extend the 18x lens fully to confirm smooth, quiet movement, and examine the 3-inch screen for damage. Test an SD, SDHC or SDXC card for dependable recording.
