More features than a Sunday newspaper supplement

With a super macro setting down to 1cm,the S850 can get you incredible close to the subject

Intelligent Face Recognition Technology means the S850 can find and
focus on this face, even though it's not in the centre of the frame
Verdict
The S1030 has great image quality, albeit with some focusing issues - the S850's stabilising feature works a treat, but you have to make snappy choices when using WiseShot. Either way, you'll spend the rest of your life buying sets of AA batteries.
Samsung S850
The S850 has more advanced features than the Starship Enterprise. It's just up to you to find them on the black-on-black control buttons
