Samsung HZ10W aka WB500
What’s new: Photographyblog have reviewed the camera!
The Samsung HZ10W aka WB500 in Europe is a 10 megapixel digital camera with a 10x optical zoom lens, and built in basic manual exposure control. It is also capable of shooting High Definition videos with optical zoom available during recording.
The HZ10W gives you a lot of zoom capacity in a relatively small body alongside with 24mm ultra wide angle lens. Optical image stabilization is supplied. So if you are looking for some extra zoom power and a wide angle lens - then this is a good choice.
In playback mode you can adjust brightness, contrast and saturation. There is an Automatic Contrast Balance feature available, plus a red eye fix, a face retouch setting and a chance to add noise to a photo.
Camera Reviews:
Cameras.co.uk:
“The camera produces great picture quality with bright and true colors. Unlike most digital cameras with a wide angle lens the HZ10W manages to produce sharp images even away from the centre of the frame. The camera handles close up shots well. There is plenty of definition and high levels of clarity in them. Noise is usual thing on compacts, but this one copes with it also very well. Nevertheless – don’t raise ISO levels too high. Shutter lag and start up times are average without any major problems.”
Buy-n-shoot.com:
“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 technologies, this unit from Samsung is highly recommended.”
Letsgodigital.org:
The Samsung WB500 is an interesting camera, and if you settle for an average image quality, excellent operation, fine color reproduction and a large optical zoom range, you will certainly have fun with this mega zoom camera.

With ideal shooting conditions the WB500 impresses with its vivid, colour-rich imagery, but sometimes it might look slightly unrealistic.
