Right from the first: The Samsung WB700 is a camera that I can only recommend someone who wants to buy a super-zoom camera for less money and the majority wants to use the camera for external acquisitions. The current price for a camera with 18x zoom is in my opinion very good! The camera takes after unpacking a very good impression. The dial and the release button are very well placed. The key for the quick start for video is also convenient placed on top right. The camera is simply good in the hand and is not too heavy in spite of metalworking. It is a pity that the 3 "display has such a good resolution. Details you recognize it is very difficult. The comparison of the recordings on PC convinced then luckily but of a better quality. I am sorry, but because you can already see the snapping want, whether a picture has become well. Points, the camera uses its menu system is easy to understand. If you set the dial to scene, to an appropriate scene mode lets you choose just can select the automatic program on the dial, as well as programs for aperture and time setting, a fully manual mode or you can choose to double the image stabilizer. Unfortunately missing the Panorama function and the continuous shooting mode. I really liked the program of automatic WB700. Via the menu you can select some interesting picture style effects (eg miniature, antique Movie 1 + 2, sketch, classic, retro, negative) and so is useful to shoot in the SmartFilter. These gimmicks I am busy for hours while made very good shots.
The strength of the WB700 is the 18x zoom, which works in spite of the image stabilizer well only when proper lighting conditions. When shooting indoors or in low light flash and autofocus need so much time to make sharp or to respond, so that one can call the shots just as unusable. Night shots with long exposure are me well done indoors, outdoors recorded, however they are only mediocre image quality. That's why I hergenommen Camera for shooting outdoors in daylight. Landscapes, pictures of animals or children have all become good. Even the shots that I made with 18x Zoom (I take pictures without a tripod).
It should be noted yet the performance of the battery, which I can only describe as average.
Conclusion: Samsung should definitely make improvements in image quality and the resolution of the display.
