A couple of years ago, Olympus’ digital imaging unit set up a guerilla ad campaign specifically to trash talk smartphone cameras. Among the zingers it included as slogans were, “If your camera also sends text messages, that will explain why your photos are rubbish”, and “A camera phone is to photography what two-minute noodles are to cooking”.

The new Samsung cameras include the $150 DV150F and the $230 WB250F. Both cameras are part of Samsung’s “Smart Camera 2.0” line-up, which allow users to easily offload their photos to a phone or computer, or upload them directly to the Internet. (They’re not to be confused, however, with Samsung’s Galaxy Camera, a 4G-connected device powered by Android.)

The WB250F is a 14.2-megapixel camera with 18x optical zoom, an f/3.2 to f/5.8 aperture lens, and a BSI CMOS sensor. It has a 3-inch LCD display on the backside and a pop-up flash that can be tilted forward and backward.
