Samsung WB500 10 Mega Pixel Digital Sensor Camera

He made a few months I have not reviewed a Samsung camera, and in the meantime, the Korean electronics giant revised its full range. I hope that many of these new models in the next few weeks get, but for now, I have one of the most interesting of them, the WB500. Even if only the base model of the WB series of creative, he has an impressive specification, with a 10.2MP sensor, a 2.7-inch LCD monitor, zoom 720p HD video recording, limited manual exposure control and a first in industry, a 10x with a 24mm wide-angle equivalent.

As I have said, the long-zoom compact market is very competitive and WB500 will go up against some very strong competitors in recent times, including the Canon SX200 IS, the Ricoh cx2, the Olympus Mju 9000, and of course the reference category, the Panasonic TZ7. The WB500 offers a specification that compares with this one, but it costs only € 170. This is the advantage of the world’s largest business conglomerate, as you all components yourself, you can get some very advanced technologies at prices ridiculously low.

The WB500 made a good impression right out of the box. The body has a shape and a good grip thumbgrip and elegantly carved back and feels substantial and solid in the hand. It is very robust and compact cameras go, measuring 105 x 61.4 x 36.5 mm, making it slightly larger than the TZ7 or cx2 and much larger than the Mju 9000, although some thinner than the SX200.

His body is all-solid aluminum with excellent build quality, though the sturdy construction, added to the weight of this huge f/3.3-5.8 4.2-42mm Schneider-Kreuznach dominates the front makes the rather heavy WB500. Approximately 240g with battery, the city was the heaviest in its class, equivalent to the Canon SX200. [via trustedreviews]
