The Samsung EX2F offers great features like a bright lens, Wi-Fi, and advanced shooting modes. But, at the end of the day, it’s still a point-and-shoot.

Samsung EX2F review - Is F1.4 and WiFi enough?

In the compact camera market manufacturers will go a long way to make their product stand out: Carl Zeiss or Leica lenses for instance offer a certain cachet. The Samsung EX2F has several features that make you want to look closer; it has a Schneider Kreuznach lens, with an f1.4 aperture. It has built in WiFi to help you share or back-up your pictures and it is housed in a chassis of magnesium alloy. Are these things enough in this very tough market sector?

Samsung has just announced the EX2F, a high-end digital compact point-and-shoot that is also the world's first to sport an F1.4 lens. This low light shooter has a 12.4MP sensor and we managed to spend some time with a pre-production model.

Hands-on Review: Samsung EX2F

Calling a product “state-of-the-art” can be a double-edged sword, one that includes both the leading edge and the bleeding edge. In the case of the Samsung EX2F there’s more of the leading side of the equation, at least when it come to a fun, portable camera that delivers in more ways than one—especially when it comes to connecting you from camera to email, sharing sites, et al.
