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

  2. The WB5000 can record 720p HD video using H.264 compression, an advanced codec that allows users to record video for longer periods of time. 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.

  3. Samsung’s Perfect Portrait System, which includes Face Recognition, Face Detection, Smile Shot, Blink Detection and Samsung’s Beauty Shot, can also be found on the WB5000. Samsung?s Face Recognition technology automatically stores up to 20 preferred faces to the cameras’ internal memory. While taking a portrait, the WB5000 will automatically recognize if one of the user?s 20 preferred faces is in the frame and identify them as a priority for focus and exposure.

  6. I have a Samsung L83T but i dont have the disc to reinstall so i can upload videos. i was told on another yahoo that i could download something from samsung website.

  7. I’ve always held the view that a camera should be made by an optics manufactuerer not an electronics company or an arms maker (yes, Samsung Techwin makes military aircraft). After all a camera is an optical device.

  8. Samsung is a well known company in gadget field. Sumsung has different type of electronic products which are very popular in the market.
