I just purchased my very first Wi-Fi camera. [Samsung SMART CAMERA ST150F]. \u00a0It is a very compact point-and-shoot camera. Some people may ask the same question as I did. Why a camera with Wi-Fi? When you consider there are smart phones that can do the same thing. I figured it was kind of a novelty item and not necessarily something I really needed, (except for the fact that I can now say I have a camera that has Wi-Fi).<\/p>\n

I really enjoy experimenting with it. Everywhere I go I like to see if I’m in a Wi-Fi hot spot. When I see that\"wi-fi_logo1\" I am, it’s kind of neat. I feel like a secret agent that discovered a top-secret classified document.<\/p>\n

My other camera is a Samsung ST-66<\/strong><\/span><\/a> which is retired to my baby. She likes playing with the camera and she also knows the difference from a toy camera and the real thing.<\/p>\n

The ST150F features a 16.2 MP \/ 25mm lens with a shutter stop of F2.5 for high-resolution images – even in dim light. It has a lot of neat features such as using your smartphone as a view finder, adjust camera settings, preview your images before you shoot them and other features.<\/p>\n

Which takes us back to the question, why a smart camera with Wi-Fi versus a smartphone? I figure not everyone has texting capabilities so I think it’s pretty cool that you can e-mail your photos to your family and friends. Also I feel that the images are much better [sometimes] than using your smartphone.<\/p>\n

\"2013-11-06<\/a><\/span><\/span>I thought the price was reasonable, ($129.99, not including the 16GB memory card) that I bought a second one for my girlfriends older daughter for a Christmas present. Whether she likes it or not, is remained to be seen.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I’m having fun with it. And always learning something new with it.<\/p>\n
