About the Samsung WB50F
The Samsung WB50F was released in January 2014 and is a travel zoom compact based on a 1/2.3-inch CCD sensor of 16 megapixels. It carries a lens of 24-288 mm in 35mm-equivalent terms, a 12x optical zoom with F3.1 at wide angle and F6.3 at full tele. This range is suited to a single-lens holiday kit: wide views, general snapshots and moderately distant subjects.
The body measures 101 x 68 x 27 mm and weighs 207 g, with a 3-inch monitor on the back for framing and review. Anyone comparing it with other travel zooms of that year will find the lens range typical for the class, so the choice often comes down to body size and screen. The CCD sensor favours daylight shooting, and the 12x range is more modest than the very long zooms offered elsewhere in the lineup. Storage is SD, SDHC or SDXC.
Buying one used
Make sure the camera includes a working battery of the correct type and that it charges. Test an SD, SDHC or SDXC card, run the 12x zoom through its range, and look over the 3-inch monitor for damage.
