There are many digital cameras released with phrases such as premium, high end, and so on. However, while using them, many of them have some points which are insufficient. If it has strong optical zoom, it doesn’t have good wide angle, or on the other hand, if it has strong wide angle, other functions such as video is not that good.

That’s why I didn’t expect much, when I heard Samsung would release a new high end digital camera. However, seeing the specification and design, I thought this is the real one, and have expected it much. Let’s take a look at the Samsung WB500 having wide angle, optical zoom, and video function.

Great specification WB500

There are products which supports either 24mm wide angle or optical 10x zoom, so depending on what users want, those were the important element to select a product. But there was nothing supporting both of them.

I mean the Samsung VLUU WB500 is the world’s first digital camera which supporting both 24mm wide angle and optical 10x zoom. When I talked to people that this digital camera supports 10x optical zoom, they reminded DSRL and worried about the portability. However, as we see below, the size of the WB500 is just like other normal digital camera.

Only with the specification such as 10.2M pixel sensor, HD video recording, optical 10x zoom, 24mm ultra wide angle (on 35mm), and dual IS, this catches eyes from many digital camera users.
