A great camera with high zoom and wide angle

Apr 7, 2009

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 24mm wide angle, 10x optical zoom, good quality picture even in dim lighting, great HD movie recording
Cons: No scene recognition, limited manual function
Opinion:
For a compact camera, WB500 is definitely a camera that i'd been looking for. It takes great photos even in dim lighting. The size is just about right (not too bulky) and light enough. The 24mm wide angle lets me take fantastic pictures with deep perspective. And 10X optical zoom is just great.

Most of all, i luv the HD movie recording. The quality is superb and it allows zooming in/out. Now i dont need to buy another camcorder.

Overall, a great camera for travelling especially if u r lazy to carry bulky DSLR and its lenses.

WHAT WILL MAKE THIS WORK?

Pros: As good as any other high end point and shoot
Cons: screen size. . .maybe
Opinion:
I have a Samsung s730 and it blew away my entry level panasonic, better and easier to take pics, but I saw the Lumix dmc-tz5, awesome, but guess what? with the exception of the high resolution video and zoom the Samsung s730 gives a better video resolution for resolution, better, low light, better lower fps and everything. I am thinking this Samsung HZ1 will be awesome ESPECIALLY IF IT WILL RECORD VIDEO UNTIL THE MEMORY IS DONE!!!! WITH NO FILE SIZE LIMIT!!!!!
