Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

12.2 Megapixels
High picture quality is obtained by employing a 12.2 mega pixel 1/2.33" high resolution CCD sensor. Clear picture quality can be achieved even for images larger than A2. A robust mounted image processor allows for rich gradation, and fast and high quality picture processing

3.0” Intelligent LCD
The Samsung WB550 has a 3.0” LCD for improved contrast and colour reproduction, allowing you to enjoy a wider and clearer image. Also The Samsung IT100 is Intelligent LCD brightness automatically detects environmental illumination and adjusts LCD brightness for optimal image viewing

Photo Style Selector
Taking a simple snapshot, framing an artful pose, or doing something different has never been easier. You can select from a wide variety of optimized advanced photo effects and know exactly what you’re getting with a suite of preview images to show you the results before you take your shot

Smart Album
With a 4GB SD card, your camera can store up to 2,000 7-megabyte photos—that’s a lot to keep track of! But with the Smart Album function sorting and organizing your photos is easy: it allows you to sort your photos by time, content, color. Smart Album lets you get straight to the best or sort through the rest

Frame Guide
Imagine be able to compose a photo even before it’s even shot. The world’s first Frame Guide feature on the WB550 has turned that into reality. The Frame Guide feature allows you easily set up the composition of the shot so it can be used as a guide for the photographer. Simply hand over the camera and you’ll never have to be missing from another photo. Now your holiday pictures will come out exactly the way you envisioned them

High Sensitivity ISO 3200
The camera can effectively reduce possible noises in super speed sensitivity mode for clear images. ISO 3200 super speed sensitivity enables clear quality pictures to be taken even in low light conditions. (ISO supported: Auto, 80, 100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200 (up to 3M)) Super speed sensitivity enables sharply-focused, momentary stop pictures to be taken of moving subjects such as children or people engaged in sports

Perfect Portrait System
With the Perfect Portrait system, faces have never looked better. With our unique Perfect Portrait system, imperfect photos are a thing of the past. For example, the Beauty Shot feature is like having your own make-up artist—right in your camera. It automatically identifies imperfections such as blemishes and dark circles on the face, and retouches them so that faces appear brighter and smooth. And with different level settings, you can control the amount of retouching that takes place—it’s that simple! Plus, the ultra-intelligent Smile and Blink detection technologies will never let you ruin another picture-perfect moment again by detecting when the subjects’ eyes are open and their smiles are at their peak.

    4.0 out of 5 stars GREAT TRAVEL CAMERA/CAMCORDER, 29 May 2009
    Surprisingly good results considering the price. At ISO < 200 SLR like picture with sharp images, excellent colour rendition and superb dynamic range (ability to differentiate different shades of light). 24mm lens a real boon. Manual controls a bonus. At ISO over 400 picture loses resolution and colours not as good, but not too noisy. Flash gives very good results, but range limited at mid to max zoom. The 720p HD video with full range stereo sound is amazing. Like the stills, sharp with vivid colours in good light. Video a bit grainy in low light. 10x optical zoom can be used in video, although can be heard. It records in H.264 at 10MBits/s. Use TMPGEnc software to edit for best results.

    So to sum up, a superb camera and very good camcorder that fits in most pockets. You can leave your camcorder at home, provided you do not plan to take video in very low light. Great for the summer holidays. Samsung have a Panasonic TZ series killer here due to the price and wide angle lens. A well known independent consumers' association gave this model a "Best Buy" and "Exceptional Value" ratings.

    3.0 out of 5 stars 3.5 out of 5. OK camera with pros and cons, 20 Jan 2010
    By Ben P (London, UK) - See all my reviews
    This review is from: Samsung WB500 Digital Camera - Black (10MP, 10x Optical Zoom) 2.7 inch LCD (Electronics)
    Spent ages dithering over this or a TZ7 or a Fuji f70EXR. TZ7 much more expensive, picked the Samsung over the Fuji because of its wide angle and HD video.

    Overall, the Samsung is a capable camera at an attractive price and with some really nice features. Like its competitors, it delivers good images in the right light and is quite versatile. For general use it's a sound choice, you won't regret it. But think about the TZ6 or the Fuji, which have come down in price, though you'll lose HD video.

    PROS
    - you can pause video while recording and the continue recording. This allows you to sort of 'edit' a movie on the go. Useful.
    - 24mm wide is the widest out there. Very nice to have and a noticeable difference to 28mm.
    - solid build and good looks. The build quality is good.
    - some interesting manual controls available. You can also control flash strength, which is useful when using fill-in.
    - USB charging. This was a significant positive for me as I took the camera backpacking. Allowed me to ditch the separate charger. Very useful.

    CONS:
    - flash in a stupid position. Your finger will block it in use during a critical shot when you forget to keep your finger out of the way.
    - digital zoom near useless image quality. That goes for most compacts though.
    - it's quite a big and meaty camera, especially compared to the Fuji.
    - menu system OK but I've seen better
    - now and then I get shots back that are out of focus when the camera has locked focus and told me all is OK. Very rarely and only at max zoom. It's irritating though.
    - the macro mode is very poor. Very bad. Minimum focussing distances are too high. You can't get close enough. This is a major drawback for me as I like macro shots.
    - low light performance not good, despite a special mode for it. Fuji probably better.

    All in, I am pleased with this purchase but the 'perfect' compact camera remains elusive. The TZ7 is most likely a better bet if you can pay the extra.

    4.0 out of 5 stars lovely camera, 26 May 2009
    By Richard Smith "Richard Smith" (Milton Keynes, England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Well, it has been just over 1 month since i bought this camera and all i can say is wow!!!.
    I have been waiting for a compact camera with HD video capabilities for a long time now and the fact that it also has a 10x optical zoom is an even bigger bonus.
    The videos are much crisper than my old fuji e900 at 640x480 with the added bonus of stereo sound and the ability to use the zoom when recording (although the sound of the zoom motor can be heard).
    The images produced are really vibrant and there has been no noticeable fringing throughout the zoom length.
    All in all a fantastic piece of kit that i would recommend to anyone
