Samsung WB2000

RAW and JPEG capture, superb AMOLED rear screen provides life-like images, quiet zoom operation plus zoom accessible in movie mode, fast to focus and respond generally

Expensive if going by manufacturer’s asking price, poor battery life, noticeably noisy images at highest ISO settings and when shooting in lower light

For the privilege of owning a WB2000 Samsung was asking a high sounding £330 at the time of writing. That said a brief search online and we were able to discover the camera for a more realistic and enticing £260.

Superb image quality ; 1080p video ; Good creative control

Some handling issues

Fazit: Die WB2000 liegt in diesem Test ganz vorn, nicht zuletzt wegen des guten Displays und der besten Bildqualität bei geringer Empfindlichkeit. Trotz der Schwächen bei ISO 400 vergeben wir daher den Kauftipp Weitwinkel.

sehr gute Bildqualität ; Full-HD- und Highspeed-Videomodi ; lichtstarkes Weitwinkelobjektiv ; manuelle Einstellungsmöglichkeiten ; RAW-Aufnahme ; sehr viele Funktionen

Objektiv bringt merkliche Verzerrungen aufs Bild ; stellenweise umständliche Bedienung

Die Samsung WB2000 überzeugt mit einer umwerfenden Ausstattung und ausgezeichneter Bildqualität. Lediglich die stellenweise etwas hakelige Bedienung und das vergleichsweise stark verzerrende Objektiv trüben den ansonsten hervorragenden Gesamteindruck.

Hög bildkvalitet. ; Skarp optik. ; Välutrustad.

Optisk förvrängning. ; Låg batterikapacitet.

Image quality, features, build quality!

Battery life is very short (less then 30min intensive use).

Excellent features and very good quality - great value for money.

Manual on cd and you need to spend time studying it to obtain best results - would have been far easier as paper version.

For a such small lens low light properties better than expected, superb image/video quality even in low light. Light weight and pocketable. I was pretty satisfied with my two cameras (Lumix TZ5 and Casio FS10) but 720p HD-video with mono audio wasn't...

Image stabilization on video could be better. 10x zoom would be nice. Some software issues with image transfer (haven't updated yet).

This camera is streets ahead of earlier Samsung cameras for picture quality. It has so many features that it takes some time to remember them all. The camera is just the right size, pocketable but not too small. I can throughly recommend it.

None of any importance.
