The Samsung WB5000 is an undemanding tool for those who want a greater lens reach than a more compact camera will allow, without the expense, weight
The WB5000 / HZ25W is Samsung's first entry into the big boy world of all-in-one super-zoom cameras. Offering a 24x zoom lens with 26mm wide-angle setting, the WB5000 literally has most photographic subjects covered, for both 12 megapixel stills and 720p movies. Throw in a range of hand-holding smart modes for beginners and RAW format and Manual mode for advanced users, and Samsung could be onto a winner at their very first attempt. Read our expert Samsung WB5000 / HZ25W review to find out if Panasonic, Olympus et al have anything to fear...
Samsung's plunged into the superzoom pool with the 12.5-megapixel WB5000. With a 24x zoom, manual controls and the ability to shoot raw files, it's a versatile beast to be sure. It also has an excellent LCD display, and is straightforward to use, although its rendering of fine detail could be better
An extremely capable camera with some great features, but significantly slower than the very similar Panasonic FZ38
The WB5000 is Samsung's first superzoom, with HD video and 24x zoom
