Samsung strengthened its position at the recent Consumer Electronics Show, showcasing its revolutionary AMOLED television offerings. As a consumer electronics manufacturer, synergies exist among Samsung's various business units which present the company with a host of unique competitive advantages in the digital imaging industry. Leveraging those advantages, especially in display technologies, Samsung was able to incorporate a large, three-inch AMOLED screen in the WB100.
Ergonomics and processing in its 183 g light and 23-mm-thick casing, the Samsung WB1000 processed therefore high. This is not only in the material used - metal - but also to its glossy finish and the silver buttons, although small, but well have to operate. Less successful is the Zoom lever, which is usable, but less accurate and ergonomics. It must be with the thumb on the camera back to be served would be a practical rocker ring which surrounds the shutter button. The highlight is the circular directional pad, not only as a 4-way rocker to navigate through the menus is used, but also can be turned around the aperture or shutter speed manually to conveniently can. Less quality is slightly off the optical axis tripod thread, which consists of plastic. Between this and the combined battery and memory card compartment is the Samsung typical and special socket arranged. For this was the test date, no cables. Usually delivers Samsung Any suitable USB cable, which not only the camera is loaded, but the pictures on the PC can be transferred. An HDMI signal is also at the special input jack, what we lack matching docking station, unfortunately could not test. At a recent Samsung TV, is to control the camera through the TV remote control, according to manufacturer.
When the battery is no special way Samsung, but sets the SLB-10A, which has for some time also in many other Samsung cameras to Used. The lithium-ion battery has a voltage of 3.7 V and a capacity of 1.050 mAh, which is equivalent to 3.8 Wh. Around 250 recordings are therefore no problem battery and memory card (SD / SDHC) can easily be found and loaded.
On top of the camera are next speaker, stereo microphone, button, trigger and Dial two true analog pointer instruments, which distribute a nostalgic charm. They provide information about the battery and the remaining capacity of the memory card. This is a nice design gimmick. Interestingly, there is already the Dial, in addition to the video function, and automatic motif programs also known as creative mode such as program, aperture and time automatic and a manual mode and a user memory offers. This should especially advanced photographers who are more than just the trigger, and thus want to use her photographic creativity can run free. It should be stressed that the real aperture and taking into strips ¼-EV increments very fine can be set, which is no mean feat. Those who prefer all the settings of the camera leaves, is also not leave, because the automatic motif WB1000 thanks very good.
The menus of the Samsung are re-designed and therefore very appealing and clear. In addition to the main menu there is a Fn menu, which - depending on the recording mode - more or less important recording settings can be changed directly. A highlight of the WB1000 is 3 "(7.6 cm) wide AMOLED screen. Instead of liquid crystals, organic light emitting diodes (OLED commonly) , which offer some advantages. They are self-luminous, making the background lighting and electricity is saved, which is the battery life increased. The picture quality is excellent: The picture is not only a lot richer than when contrasting TFT, but also the color and brightness adjustment are much finer, the display is also independently and without delay. Mechanically, it is thinner than a TFT screen, which makes the camera flat. Another advantage is the high brightness and readability in full sunlight be a point when WB1000 however, was not traceable. The screen reflects what is in bright environments restricts the usability. The picture is no brighter in sunlight even better read than that of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5, which served as a comparison. Correctly, however, comes from the detailed presentation, the screen has at least 460,000 pixels, which hVGA with about 480 x 320 pixels corresponds.
Equipment to the "automatic helper" belongs in the Samsung WB1000 next to the motif, a program automatic face recognition with all the frills. In the self-portrait mode, the camera beeps, for example, if the face was recognized. Even blinking and smiling, the camera can detect, for the best moment to catch. The photo features include self-timer, series picture function, and an IR is also bracketing (AEB with Samsung). Who likes to play with aspect ratios, also gets a lot offered. In addition to the typical 4:3-format is also called the "newfangled" 16:9 available. Those who prefer classic mag, uses 3:2 or 1:1 (square) back. The picture is, however, each corresponding pruned, ie the resolution and the picture angles are smaller. Practical ways camera shows the resolution at all levels, for which print size, these are suitable. May also have to include a picture style, such as vivid or soft colors, black and white, negative images or shades up to a custom setting in which the color (red, green and blue) can set themselves.
