Samsung's High-End Digital Camera Here

Samsung Digital Imaging Co Ltd today unveiled the WB5000, a 12.5 mega-pixel camera fitted with the most powerful lens ever offered on a Samsung compact digital camera.

Joining the company's advanced WB Series, the WB5000's high-performance Schneider-KREUZNACH lens offers an impressive 24x optical zoom with a 26mm wideangle focal length (35mm film equivalent focal range of 26mm-624mm), which can be used for shooting highquality digital still images as well as recording 720p HD video in H.264 format.

"Photographers of all skill levels are going to be drawn to the WB5000's features," said Choong Hyun Hwang, vice- president of Strategic Market- ing at Samsung Digital Imaging Company. "The versatility of the lens gives any user, whether you're a soccer mom on the sidelines or an enthusiast looking to create a stunning image, the ability to be prepared for just about any shooting scenario. Serious shooters will gravitate toward the WB5000's aperture and shutter priority modes as well as full manual control and RAW support. For the entrylevel shooter, Samsung's Smart Auto takes simplicity to a new level, ensuring a great shot every time without having to be concerned about camera settings."

The WB5000 puts high-definition video recording in the palm of users' hands. The camera can record 720p HD video using H.264 compression, an advanced codec that allows users to record video for longer periods of time. For added versatility, users can zoom in and out while recording video, taking full advantage of both the camera's 26mm wide-angle focal length and 24x optical zoom, said the company.
