Samsung WB500 – black

The WB500 is perfect for landscape photography and group shots. It has a top-quality video mode so you can film in high definition and enjoy strikingly realistic playback on any HD screen. The use of the H.264 codec means that you might never have to use a memory card, even for large files, because files are stored in a compressed format that takes up much less space. The WB500 also boasts a number of handy visual effects for editing photos and videos, such as black and white and sepia, as well as audio captions. This camera gives you a chance to capture tiny details thanks to its 10.2-megapixel sensor, no matter whether you’re shooting from close up or far away.
