About the Samsung WB30F
The Samsung WB30F, released in January 2013, is a slim travel-oriented compact with a 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor of 16 megapixels. Its 10x optical zoom spans 24-240 mm in 35mm terms at F3.1-6.3, a practical middle ground between a basic 5x compact and the long-reach models of the day.
The body is 98 x 58 x 17 mm and weighs 128 g, so it remains pocketable despite the longer lens. The 3-inch monitor covers framing and playback, and images go to SD, SDHC or SDXC cards. A 24 mm wide end helps with architecture and group shots, while 240 mm handles candid subjects across a street. As with most CCD compacts, bright conditions suit it best, and the narrowing aperture at full zoom rewards steady hands. It is a light, balanced option for walking trips.
Buying one used
Confirm the battery holds a charge and charges normally. Run the 10x lens through its full range for smooth motion, inspect the 3-inch screen, and test an SD, SDHC or SDXC card for reliable writing.
