Weak battery

Model Number: WB850F
"The camera battery lasts only a few hours while the camera isn't even turned on. I was really disappointed when I went to take the first pictures on my second day of camping and having a dead battery with the battery fully charged before I left.
The outstanding picture quality and remarkable features mean nothing without decent battery life."

Hate this camera

Model Number: Samsung Smart Wb850F
"My first camera the lense wouldn't close and was stuck..so returned and reordered. Tried this camera on vacation and on the smart mode (which is supposed to take the best photos) most were blurry or looked funny. Its difficult to figure out this camera and all the instructions are on a disk of about 187 pages to print. Even with the computer disk in and a few hours to study the camera with the computer on couldn't figure it out. I tried downloading the samsung app on my phone like they suggest, it asks for a password, which they don't give you. Tried to use the Wifi at two places with wireless and it takes a long time trying to connect and never did. I think they are adding too much extra stuff to these cameras trying to do the phone, wifi, fb link etc. on my way to Costco to return it and get a canon SX260 for the same price that my friend has (who by the way had her camera with on vacation and it took beautiful photos!) Or maybe the camera is just too smart for me! Either way, I will stick to Canon."

Disapointed

Pros: easy to navigate, great photos when camera stays charged
Cons: camera does not hold a charge
Model Number: WB850F
"I ordered this camera and exactly like the other review, I would charge the camera over night, take 9 pictures the next day and a few days later, the camera would not turn on. This happened 3 times. 9 photos should not drain a battery when the specs say you should be able to take 200 photos on a charge. I thought I got a dud and returned it and ordered another one. I have yet to receive it but after reading the other review, I am doubtful it will work. When it did work, it took great, clear, vibrant photos. Easy to navigate through the menu. Uploading photos to PC was very easy. I am hoping that my next one will actually work, if it does, I will be very pleased."

Power drain problems

Pros: easy to use, clear photos with good color, good rubber grip, extremely clear view screen, manual flash pop-up
Cons: marginal macro performance, major power drain fault
Model Number: WB850F
"I first bought a WB850F from a different vendor and found that the camera was defective. After a full charge, with the camera turned off, the power would fully drain overnight. This occurred intermittently and I could not determine the cause. I returned the first one, but since I liked the WB850F very much, I tried a second one that I bought from Costco.
The second camera had the same problem. After a full charge, the camera would fully drain all of its power overnight, intermittently. I updated the camera's firmware, but this made no difference (firmware version 205256). I had to return the second camera as well (no problems with Costco on the return).
As I said, I really liked this camera when it worked, but it was very unreliable. The photos that it takes are very clear, with very good color. The camera also seems to be well made & solid, the menu is easy to use, and it looks very good in person (better than the photos make it look here).
If they ever fix the power drain issue this camera may be a real winner, but it has serious problems at the time I write this (06/21/12). Had this camera worked properly, I would have likely given it four or five stars."
