  • Samsung WB WB500 grey 1/2.33" Compact camera 10.2 MP CCD 3648 x 2736 pixels :

    The WB500 is the world's first compact high zoom digital camera that has a built-in 24mm ultra wide-angle lens with a powerful 10x optical zoom. This versatile ultra wide-angle lens captures sharper and wider images from greater distances, giving you the flexibility to shoot from a variety of situations from landscapes to portraits. This compact high zoom digital camera can fit neatly within your pocket so it goes wherever you do.

    World's First 24mm, Optical 10x Zoom
    Capture your world like you've never seen before
    Whether you're indoors or out, snapping a landscape or friends around a table, the amasing 24mm ultra wide angle lens gives you a wider shooting range from a shorter distance and more flexibility for a greater variety of high-quality options.

    The 24mm ultra wide angle lens and the 10x optical zoom is a perfect marriage of advanced versatility with the convenience of a stylish, compact camera.

    Recording HD-Quality Movies of 720p Resolution at 30ftps
    With the ability to record HD movies with your Samsung camera, you can enjoy recording HD-quality movies of 720p resolution at 30ftps. New video compression technology of H.264 compression format enables more than doubled efficiency compared to the previous format which surpasses the capabilities of a digital camcorder function.

    Smart Album
    With a 4GB SD card, your camera can store up to 2,000 7-megabyte photos-that's a lot to keep track of! But with the convenient Smart Album feature, it automatically organises photos based on the date they were taken, their content, colour tones, and themes. You can even browse through your photos by month or by using a timeline. Based on the type of photo you're looking for, you can also search by the photo type, such as portrait, couple, or group. The Smart Album even lets you search for photos that were taken of a city or landscape. Additionally, the Smart Album can automatically sort your photos based on the type of file (photo, video, or voice / memo note).

    Dual Image Stabilisation
    Blurry images can be caused by many factors, such as hand shaking, zooming or insufficient light. Dual Image Stabilisation eliminates the blur caused by camera shake and delivers clear, crisp images every time, even under difficult lighting situations. Integrating the best lens shifting mechanisms of Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS) with the sophisticated algorithms of Digital Image Stabilisation (DIS), Dual Image Stabilisation corrects even the tiniest of shakes.

    Photo Style Selector
    Taking a simple snapshot, framing an artful pose, or doing something different has never been easier. You can select from a wide variety of optimised advanced photo effects and know exactly what you're getting with a suite of preview images to show you the results before you take your shot.

    Frame Guide
    Taking photos while on vacation usually has one thing missing you. Introducing the innovative Frame Guide feature that allows you to set up the angle of the shot and compose the photo exactly the way you want it. Now you're ready to hand off the camera to someone else so you can be in the photo. All they need to do is match the preset composition you created that's it.

    ISO 3200
    The camera can effectively reduce possible noises in super speed sensitivity mode for clear images. ISO 3200 super speed sensitivity enables clear quality pictures to be taken even in low light conditions. (ISO supported: Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 (up to 3M)) Super speed sensitivity enables sharply-focused, momentary stop pictures to be taken of moving subjects such as children or people engaged in sports.

The 12.5-megapixel WB5000’s snug DSLR shape echoes Samsung’s NX10 hybrid camera for looks and feels comfortably lightweight in the palm. The 24x optical zoom offered by its lens is equivalent to a wide-angle 26-624mm in 35mm terms. Like the others her...

At 24-240mm, the WB500 has the most impressive lens on show in this Labs. Only the Nikon Coolpix S630 beats it at the telephoto end, and nothing matches its 24mm wide-angle. Image quality was reasonable. Lenses that go from ultra-wide to telephoto tend...
