The camera's Wi-Fi menu also provides access to a few social-networking and sharing sites: Facebook, Photobucket, Picasa, and YouTube. When I tested direct photo uploads from the camera to Facebook and Photobucket, entering my login info again took the bulk of the time--around a minute--for each upload; but the photo uploads themselves were quite brisk, taking about 3 seconds apiece.
In connection with uploading video to Facebook or YouTube over Wi-Fi, a few limitations aren't clear until you try to upload clips wirelessly from the camera. Video uploads are limited to 320-by-240-resolution clips with a maximum duration of 30 seconds, and you can't modify or trim clips taken with the camera at 720p resolution or for longer than 30 seconds. To avoid running afoul of those limitations, you have to go into the video settings and set the resolution to 320 by 240 and the duration to 30 seconds maximum before you start filming. Again, entering my YouTube login took about a minute, but the 30-second clips uploaded in around 6 or 7 seconds.
Aside from its the social-networking tie-ins, the camera has three more wireless features: photo backup to Windows Live SkyDrive (SkyDrive backup isn't available for videos, however), wireless backup to a PC loaded with the i-Studio program embedded on the camera, and a TV Link feature that lets you play back photos and videos stored on the camera's SD Card on a compatible Samsung TV connected to the same home network.
Samsung has definitely gone all-in with the wireless features in this camera, and the ones I tested worked well despite the resolution and clip-length limitations of video uploads, and the slow-going interface for inputting social-networking logins and passwords. You have to enter those credentials just once, fortunately, since the camera saves the info for subsequent uploads. To scrub your login, password, and Wi-Fi access point settings, you must go into the WB150F's settings menu and reset the camera to its factory settings.
