Rated 100% by by islander (May, 2012)The touch screen is intuitive and amazingly sharp (1,152,000 dots, the highest resolution around, and it's 3.5" so it's huge)!
Rated 100% by by Jared-G-Buletza (Sep, 2011)I used the panorama view to take some scenic pictures and they came out great.

Features Key features of the Samsung WB210 compared to the Fujifilm FinePix XP20
MP14
1/2.5"
Rated 100% by by islander (May, 2012)This is my first touch screen unit, and I love the touch screen, much easier to use than a button menu camera.
14 MP
Rated 20% by by Orfie--orfie (Jul, 2011)I loved this camera for the first 5 days of the trip, it did well enough underwater to get some fun pictures.
megapixels
| 0 MP | 14 MP | 20 MP |
WB210 by islander (May, 2012)Those micro-SD cards are so tiny, but they hold 122 superfine shots on a 1 GB card even at the highest resolution of 14 megapixels.
FinePix XP20 by Chris (Feb, 2012)Remember: megapixels don't mean squat if you don't have a decent lens, auto-focus system, processor, memory card, etc..
wide angle lens
WB210 by islander (May, 2012)The 21mm wide angle is really handy creatively, or just for cramming in lots of people or other subject matter, and the 12x zoom covers a lot of range.
FinePix XP20 by Glenn-Oliver-Dettman (Mar, 2012)From a water proof perspective, it worked flawlessly, and we have both photos and video from under water on our vacation.
aperture size
WB210 by islander (May, 2012)I bought the camera for it's wide-angle capability and it's long zoom range, thus, It's a great landscape camera.
FinePix XP20 by Cyan--Lulipop (Apr, 2011)It takes amazing photos and the telephoto makes for very interesting shots.
zoom range
| 0x | 12x | 20x |
FinePix XP20 by YourNameHere (Apr, 2012)Figured I'd take a chance on this camera, I do a good bit of kayaking and was hoping I might get a decent waterproof with abit of optical zoom.
body size
101 x 59 x 22 mm
99 x 68 x 24 mm
FinePix XP20 by c|net (Oct, 2011)However, as a secondary camera for those times when you need a pocket camera that can get wet, dusty, or cold, or might need to survive a drop, it's an OK option.
