 Samsung WB5000 digital camera : According to a number of publications, which all point out to the (pulled down) Samsung Camera UK website, a new Samsung advanced megazoom camera will come up soon. The new Samsung WB5000 is a 12.5 advanced megazoom camera with a Schneider-KREUZNACH 26mm wide angle, 24x zoom lens, combined with full manual control and RAW format shooting for all-round photographic creativity. The Samsung WB5000 camera offers Dual Image Stabilisation that works by integrating a sensor shift mechanisms of Optical Image Stabilisation with the algorithms of Digital Image Stabilisation, to prevent blurring images. When to expect the new Samsung WB5000 is not clear, but IFA kicks off soon so it may be a few days from now.

You can record movies in 720p to get fantastic HD detail and view them on your HD TV.’ The Samsung WB5000 supports full manual controls. You will get more creative and make use of the ability to shoot using aperture priority, shutter priority or manual.

Shooting portraits is as easy as it gets for everyone; each time you click, the Samsung WB5000 automatically recognizes if there is a face in the shot. It then optimizes the focus and exposure of up to nine faces for stunning, natural looking portraits. The Blink Detection function detects when a subjects eyes are closed; this feature triggers the camera to automatically take three shots in order to capture the eyes open. Smile Detection ensures that no happy moments are missed by taking the shot automatically when smiles are detected. The Beauty Shot function uses face detection technology to retouch the facial skin to appear brighter and to give the impression of a smoother skin tone. This can be done either while shooting or during playback.

Step-by-step instructions with simple illustration on the use of the camera are provided through the LCD for user's convenience. Frame Guide allows you to set up a shot you want to be in. Set the right distance and angle, give your camera to someone else, get in shot and they can take the picture you want with help from the frame around the edge of the screen.
