Samsung Smart Camera EX2F - hands on field test
- Thread starter ortega
- Start date
Not exactly controlled and identical conditions I admit. Did not use a tripod. All are 100% crops from central region. I would like to make the full original files available, but don't know where to put... (imgur recompresses and drops EXIF).
The relative jagginess of the EX2F almost looks like it is being displayed at 200% magnification. Something wrong with the DSP or JPEG? Have not checked RAW.
EX2F versus S100:
Advantages of EX2F: articulating screen, brighter lens, cheaper.
Advantages of S100: smaller, retracting covering lens, smoother images, smaller JPEG files.

Good job. Comprehensive review :thumbsup:
I'm looking @ compact with fast lens, wide (24mm) is more impt. Not sure if you have done comparison in terms of noise control (say up to ISO 1600, min ISO 800), colour, pocketable & ease of use; how would this stack up against Fuji XF1 & Lumix LX-7?
Thanks in advance

I still own the EX-1 from more than 2 years ago and its one of the best little fast cameras in my inventory bar none ... I'm confident that the EX2 will do likewise
I got the ex2f recently, i find that the battery drained after just 1 session of using it. I took 3 videos and probably less than 100 photos. Anyone has the same problem as me? When I got it I charged it overnight. But before I charged it overnight I had took some pictures to test it when I first got the camera. Does it matter?
Also, the videos I took was at a rock concert. And not only is the audio quality very noisy (worse than using my iphone and yes I tested it on my pc as well), the 3rd video I took have delayed audio effect. So you can actually tell that the video moved faster than song.
Anyone else has bad experiences like me? So far all I see online are good reviews of the camera and nobody mentioned such issues.

normally it is best to go a few cycles of full charge and discharge, battery technology might have improved, i'm not sure

the old film filter effect looks more like a dirty filter effect, hahaha.
my neighbor's daughters also bought a EX2F for their recent holiday trip in China. will be borrowing from him.
size n weight of the camera is very good. love the lcd screen. the rest must wait till i get the camera.
