16.3-Megapixel Backside-Illuminated CMOS Sensor

The Samsung WB350 Smart Camera is equipped with a 16.3-megapixel backside-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor that needs less light for proper exposure and quick focus than conventional sensors. This allows you to take properly exposed images in low-light situations.

Compose Shots on a 3-Inch Hybrid Touch Display

On the back of the camera is a brilliant, 3-inch LCD display that lets you compose and review your photos comfortably and accurately. The display has a hybrid user interface that lets you use either the five-way button for menu navigation if you prefer traditional controls or your fingers if you prefer touch controls.

21x Zoom with Wide-Angle Lens

With the WB350, you can capture the moment just the way you remember it--whether your subject is up close or far away. Snap a mural that takes up the side of a building, or a field of wildflowers that seems to stretch for miles, using the WB350's 23-millimeter wide-angle lens. Even when you can't get close to your subject, the 21x optical zoom allows you to capture every detail.

Wi-Fi Connectivity for Easy Sharing

Thanks to built-in Wi-Fi capability, the WB350 makes it easy to post pictures and videos --along with comments--to Facebook, YouTube, Flickr, and other sites. You can also email files to friends and family members or use the Group Share function, which allows you to send images to up to four people simultaneously. The camera also comes with 2 GB of free Dropbox online storage or 50 GB if you also own a GALAXY smartphone.

Full HD Video Recording

The WB350 captures lifelike video at 1080p Full HD resolution. The camera shoots video in the H.264 format, which allows you to record for longer than cameras using MJPEG video.

Save Photos in Real Time with AutoShare

With Samsung's AutoShare feature, you can send photos instantly to an NFC-compatible smartphone or tablet--just as you're shooting them--over a Wi-Fi connection. This makes it easy to back up photos and share them wherever you are.

Samsung Link to Connect with Other Devices

Thanks to Samsung Link, you can connect this camera wirelessly with other nearby Samsung Link-enabled devices and share photos and videos or upload them to your web storage service.

Photo Beam to Share Photos with One Touch

Like other Samsung devices, the WB350 features Photo Beam technology, which makes it a snap to share photos. Simply tap the camera on any NFC-compatible smartphone to automatically share whichever image you're currently viewing.

Transfer Files with PC Auto Backup

Saving photos, video clips, and more to your computer is easy with the WB350. Just select the PC Auto Backup function, and the camera will wirelessly transfer all of the files on the camera to your PC or Mac.

Send Files Using Mobile Link, Even Without Wi-Fi

Based on NFC technology, Samsung's Mobile Link app lets you select and send photos or albums to a designated smartphone or tablet, even when you're away from a Wi-Fi hotspot, and without having to send the photos as a text message or an email. The app also lets you manage photos on your smartphone and save the changes automatically to the camera.

Remote ViewFinder to Control Camera at a Distance

When you connect the camera to select smartphones, you can use the Remote ViewFinder app to turn your phone into a viewfinder. You can control your camera from up to 30 feet away and preview images, adjust camera settings, frame the scene, and tag the shot location--all from your phone. When you need to take a group shot with yourself in it, Remote ViewFinder makes it easy.

Smart Mode for Special Effects

Tap the smart mode button to take advantage of numerous special shoot modes. Action Freeze mode lets you capture a high-speed scene at a sporting event, while Rich Tone can be used to create surrealistic photos with vibrant colors.

Dual Capture to Shoot Photos and Videos at Once

The WB350's Dual Capture feature lets you snap photos while simultaneously shooting Full HD video. Record a soccer game while also capturing frame-worthy stills.

Full Manual Mode for Creative Control

Put the WB350 in Full Manual mode to take complete creative control of your pictures. Aperture Priority and Shutter Priority settings allow you to experiment with shutter speeds and depth of field, such as when you're shooting fast-moving images in low-light settings.

Retro Design with Modern Twist

Inspired by vintage camera designs, the WB350 is notable for its elegant, flowing lines and luxurious leather-like feel. The WB350's compact and lightweight body makes it great for easy, on-the-go shooting.

Customer Reviews

Most helpful customer reviews
The WB350 is definitely a pocket sized camera but not the smallest pocket super-zoom camera on the market. It is about the same size as the Canon SX700 and a bit taller than most other pocket zooms including the Canon SX280.

The WB350 has several features not usually found in a camera in this price range and target audience; exposure bracketing (sort of), built in bounce flash, flash intensity compensation (controls the strength of flash), manual shutter and aperture setting controls and completely manual (Kelvin) white balance. The last feature (manual white balance by K#) is not found on some good mid level DSLR cameras (i.e. Nikon D5300, Canon Txxi).

This camera has a small sensor so anything shot past ISO 800 is not very good. Noise (graininess) is present even at ISO 400. But ISO 800 is usable which is pretty good for this type of camera. Also, the lens is pretty bright, (at wide angle focal lengths), with a maximum aperture of f/2.8 helping to avoid the necessity of using higher ISOs in better lighting conditions. There is no dedicated ISO button. In any event if you primarily shoot in dim lighting requiring an ISO over 800, you really should look at something with a larger sensor (ie Sony RX100 or a compact system camera).

Images taken in good lighting (i.e. outdoors or good indoor lighting) are very, very good. The automatic white balance and metering almost always get it right. I was surprised that the images are a bit nicer and more vibrant than the (excellent) Canon SX280.

The movable flash head can be pivoted to simulate an external flash being tilted to "bounce" the flash. This results in softer lighting and much more pleasing exposures. However, this is a small camera with a small and relatively weak flash. Using an indirect flash weakens the intensity more so. Consequently this feature is really only useful in reasonably bright rooms where the subject is reasonably close. Lower F stops and Longer shutter speeds also help.
