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...

Samsung WB500 review

 

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.

Some great features married to an impressive lens.

Samsung WB500 review

 

Finished in gunmetal grey, the Samsung WB500's understated colouring sets off the attractive shiny silver accents of its dials and lens ring. In use, the power button is illuminated by a thick blue LED band - useful for checking you've not accidentally...

Some will find the sheer bulk of the Samsung WB500 reassuring; we found it burdensome. Although the 10.3Mp sensor and 10x zoom were welcome, this was far from our favourite compact.

Samsung WB500 compact camera

 

Samsung's 10 megapixel WB500 might not be the worlds most stylish camera, but its plain black body hides some very interesting features. For one it contains a SchneiderKreuznach lens with a super 10x optical zoom.

Although image quality was good and the zoom worked like a charm, we never really felt comfortable using the WB500. Little things like the positioning of the flash, where it can be obscured by fingers, niggled us and ditto for user-friendliness. The...

Samsung WB500

 

No-one knows what the WB stands for in the Samsung WB500. Matt Grayson thinks it stands for Wide Body. It's a match made in Heaven.

Good build; Excellent lens; Big zoom; Good colours; No colour fringing

Focusing can be problematic at close up

Samsung WB500 review

 

The 10.2Mp Samsung WB500 has a huge 1/2.33in Schneider lens and offers 24mm ultra-wide image capture and a 10x optical zoom that stretches from 4.2 to 42mm.

Some will find the sheer bulk of the Samsung WB500 reassuring; we found it burdensome. Although the 10.3Mp sensor and 10x zoom were welcome, this was far from our favourite compact.
