The 12.5-megapixel WB5000’s snug DSLR shape echoes Samsung’s NX10 hybrid camera for looks and feels comfortably lightweight in the palm. The 24x optical zoom offered by its lens is equivalent to a wide-angle 26-624mm in 35mm terms. Like the others her...

Camera manufacturers are always looking for some unique selling proposition. In the case of the Samsung WB500, it’s been marketed as world’s first compact with the equivalent of a 24mm, ultra wide optical 10x zoom. But with a few other models, such as...
