Samsung EX2F First Impressions Review – DigitalCamerainfo.com

Photography, Tech

The more I hear about the EX2F, the more I like it. Low-light performance is a major factor in what I look for in a compact camera. Here is one of the first reviews that I have seen.

The Samsung EX2F is a premium compact camera from Samsung, with one big feature stamped right on the front: 1.4. Remember that number, because it sets the EX2F apart from just about every other compact camera on the market (as of this writing). 1.4, or more specifically, f/1.4, is the size of the camera’s aperture, the opening in the lens that allows light through when you take a photo. The smaller the number, the bigger the aperture; the bigger the aperture, the better your photos are in low light and the more blurred the scene behind your subject looks.

Snapsort is a site I have just discovered. Since I had a crash last week, my Canon S95 is damaged beyond repair. In the same week, the Samsung EX2F has been announced and from the specs, seems like an incredible camera. The problem is that I need a carry-around camera particularly for low-light situations where the iPhone 4S camera just does not perform very well. So I was looking for something that was cheaper and would serve as a backup camera after I get the EX2F when it’s available (or the LX6/LX7?). After digging around amazon and dpreview, I saw the great reviews for the IXUS 220 (or the Canon PowerShot ELPH 300 H for North American readers)  I found the snapsort site and put in some comparisons.

Here is the comparison between the Canon IXUS 220 IS versus the Powershot S95

Surprising? 😉

Time to get that 220 IS before the weekend!
