'Compact Super Zoom' Camera Group Test (Q2 2009) Compact Camera Group Test, Group 6: 'Compact superzoom' cameras

 

When Panasonic launched the 'Travel Zoom' TZ1 back in February 2006 the Japanese electronics giant established a profitable new niche within the digital camera market: the compact superzoom. For a short while the company's TZ series was the only...

During the past couple of months or so we have used all the cameras in this text extensively and it has become clear that in terms of image quality the difference between the best and the worst in class is rather small. This means that other factors...

Samsung WB500 review

 

Samsung did not really stand out during Photokina 2008. For Samsung, this huge 2-year event, giving the visitor the opportunity to smell, taste and see photography all around, seemed to be a show where only the Samsung prototype camera (now called...

The Samsung WB500 is the world's first mega zoom camera providing a 24mm wide angle zoom and a total range of 10x. This is quite an achievement when it comes to optics. Samsung has not been easy on itself. The specifications are appealing, although the...

Samsung WB500 Review

 

The Samsung WB500 (also known as the Samsung HZ10W) is a pocket digital camera featuring a versatile 10x, 24mm wide-angle zoom lens. Taking on the popular Panasonic TZ series of cameras, the 10 megapixel WB500 has a 2.7 inch LCD screen, 24-240mm lens...

The Samsung WB500 / HZ10W is somewhat confusingly very similar to the WB550 / HZ15W, which was released just a couple of months later with a number of additional features intended to make it more competitive with Panasonic's TZ7 model. Therefore...

Samsung WB500

 

The Samsung WB500 is one of the few compact cameras I've seen with such zoom capabilities. While most compact cameras only have 3x optical zoom, the WB500 can do 10x.

Samsung WB500 Digital Camera Review

 

If you’re after a super slim, lightweight compact that looks better than it performs, the WB500 is not for you. If, on the other hand, you can handle a little extra build in exchange for some great image quality and an impressive list of intuitive...

Samsung WB500 digital camera

 

10.2-megapixel Samsung digital camera with a 10x optical zoom

Attractive design, good array of modes and features, superb wide-angle lens and 10x optical zoom

A bit bulky for a compact camera, troublesome menu, picture quality is merely adequate for the asking price

The Samsung WB500 is an interesting and versatile compact digital camera that comes packed with advanced features. Its wide-angle lens and 10x optical zoom make up for its various shortcomings.

Samsung WB500

 

With a 10x zoom lens, 24mm wide-angle and HD video the WB500 is great value for money

The new Samsung WB500 is an extremely impressive camera for the price. It looks good, has superb build quality, a huge list of features, and its performance measures up to cameras costing £100 more. It does have one or two foibles, but when it comes...
